Does that mean Israel is right in its policy against Arabs? or is it because the zionist lobby is active inside the american policy? Or is it because the jewish religion has interrelation with the christianity from a long time?

It seems to me you did not state any particular issue.If Israel is right why shouldn't all countries support them? So far as i know Israel's policies are very sound and not wanting Arabs to annihilate them seem to be pretty sound thinking.

Goes ways back.
Israel proved to be a strong ally. In the 1967 war no country (not even the USA) supported Israel, but they won their war on all fronts anyway. Of course they got tremendous respect after that.
Now there is terrorism, and Israel was dealing with it for a lot longer then the rest of the world, so they provide us intelligence on how to fight it.
Also majority of American Christians support the Jewish State, because they see it as a Bible prophesy come true.
There is a pro-Israeli Lobby in the US Government, but it has more Christians then Jews.

Go pick on Great Britain, its all their fault in the first place for leaving the Palestinian Protectorate in such a pickle. The Brits thought the Arabs would win the war and they didn't. Hey, when you lose a war with a group of people who have no place to go that's what happens. You either live with the victors or you ask your fellow Arabs to take you in as a refugee, but they didn't. They preferred to keep you out, ever wonder about that? There is no Jewish majority in the United States, out of 300 million people there are approximately 1% of people who identify themselves as Jewish. Study a bit more history and you will find that the relationship between Jew and Christian has been less than cordial throughout the centuries.

All of the above. You hit the nail right on the head. Israel is the only democracy in the middle east and acts as we do in business, medicine, stocks, etc. The Jewish religion is directly related to Christianity because the original Christians were Jews who took up the cause of Jesus as Messiah and a Jew by the name of Saul (Paul) spread the word across the middle east.
Remember, Jesus was a devout Jew who taught Jewish law to the masses. The Christian books tell that when the Jewish temple is rebuilt in Jerusalem Christ will fight Satan (and win) and there will be 1,000 years of peace on earth. Naturally, Christians want this to happen so they have been pouring money into Israel to keep it alive and to some day have the temple rebuilt.

The USA supports Israel 100% because we need an ally in the middle east.
Israel is not right in its policy against the arabs. Israel has no legitimate right to be a country. Judaism is a religion not a race of people. The Palestinians are a race of people who the land belongs to and had it stolen. Israel was put in the middle east to stir up conflict amongst the arab countries so america would always be justified in having a military presence in the middle east. How odd that Israel was formed around the time oil production started going in the middle east.

Israel has been an ally of the USA for years. If you will recall, it was the USA that asked Israel to back out of Gaza- so your message is biased. Even though the USA didnt strongly chastise Israel, they did urge caution and prudence (more than what Ive heard from anyone else), so blame whomever you want- I know it's Bee Ess.

All three, plus the fact that Israel is our ally in the fight against terrorism in the Middle East, and with the exception of the USS Liberty incident (which both governments settled by agreeing to disagree on the subject) they've done nothing to overtly harm us, and (as others pointed out) they're the only Democratic government in the area.

It is because Israel is a strong ally and a tolerant democracy surrounded by lunatic reactionary conservative governments.
why do you call american jews "zionists" when a real zionist would be living in Israel?

I support Israel....60%. They've got a violent military approach, but the Palestinians have shown they're not much better.

I don't know about 100% but as long as there are Christians in the u.s. they will support Israel.
