Despite the complex historical background, I have to say it makes absolutely no sense to me. The most common line is the "powerful" (financially, rather than numerically) Jewish lobby in the US, but I find this rather hard to believe - there are plenty of ridiculously rich Arabs who are pretty to pump money into US election campaign coffers.
What I find even more surprising is that US voters repeatedly vote for people who throw billions of their money into Israeli military coffers...

We need all the friends we can get. There's also maybe some guilt money involved also.
