the US right supports Israel because they are Christian, and Israel is sacred to all Christians.
I don't know why anyone would have a problem with this.
What we should question is why the same people feel the Israel government should get a free pass on politican events. It is as if Christians consider the government of Israel to be divine, which it is not.
You pretty much answered your own question. There is nothing "divine" about Israel.
Sacred, but not divine.
I think the reason the Israel/palestine issue is so vexed is because of the religio-cultural ownership Christians and Muslims bring to the issue, which is usually quite unhelpful. People feel they know what is right for Israel because they read the bible....this might have helped in the Year 0, but not in 2012.
There is nothing sacred or divine about Israel, except to certain religious nuts. Christianity is nothing more than a copycat religion. I prefer Horus.
