If Social Security is the third rail of US politics, Israel is the third rail of US geopolitics. For most of Israel's short life as an independent state, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) has played the role of a political action committee defending and advocating Israeli interests in both houses of the US Congress. It is the single most important organization affecting the relationship with Israel.
Over the past 50 years, AIPAC has nursed through Congress scores of pro-Israel legislative initiatives, blocking at the same time pro-Arab measures Israel deemed dangerous to its security.
AIPAC's list of almost 100,000 members reads like a Who's Who of generous supporters of Israeli causes. The fact that AIPAC never had to register as a foreign agent demonstrates Israel is an integral part of the body politic, a de facto 51st state of the union. Its most successful lobbying effort was to convince each new Congress and the occupant of the White House that Israeli interests are identical to the United States' fundamental interests, ergo no need to register if you are lobbying for a safer America.

They are a democracy surrounded by tyranny. We propped them up after the Holocaust atrocities so the Jew's could have their own state. We returned them to their promised land. We helped them through the cold war to keep Communism at bay. Now we help them to keep terrorism at bay. If our so called friends in Canada and the like supported us post 9/11 as we do the Israeli's this war would be nearing it's end. The world said ,"Look, even the Canadians won't support them...why should we?". If you aide, support, and or HARBOR a terrorist organization then your nation will be the enemy of the United States of America. GWB spoke those words to a standing ovation from both the far left and right as he addressed the house and senate. Now their unquenchable thirst for political power is tearing us apart as a nation.

Actually, the US demands Israel stop expansion. They carved their little space in the desert. If they maintain that space the US will support them as a country. If they turn into agressors in an attempt to expand their borders, the support will stop.
If people insist on attacking them, they have a right to defend themselves. One would not expect people to accept being attacked in the street, people trying to put them to death because they disagree with their religion or ideals. People attacking Israel are doing just that, on a large scale.
If Israel started bombing others just for the lust to kill, (which is what the fanatics are doing to Israel), Isreal would not get US support.

Israel is America's military base in the Middle East's Western flank.
Its also borne out of a sense of guilt for having refused jewish refugees during the second world war.
It is also religious. Chirstians beleive in the second-coming of Christ when the jews are gathered in the land of canaan, which the jews think is Palestine.
Jews are human beings who have a right to life just like everyone else, but they do not have a right to occupation and oppression.

Israel is the cry baby of the West. They cry "holcaust" every time they kill someone and the West forgives their sins.
Powerful minorities all over the world have perfected this mechanism of grabbing all the resources and then crying out that they are the victims.
Peace is beyond their imagination.

The short-cut is that the entire leadership of USA is the financial slaves of Israel, they don't have the courage to chalange their masters for their evil acts.
