Does America generally support the Jewish State because of a religious belief? If yes, what is it?

It is a grand puzzle and a damned shame to be a fight of any kind

Religions are responsible for way to many wars in modern times and in times past. Did you know that Islam tried to invade Austria around the 1650 in order to wipe out the Christian religion. There are always devotees who do things because of their religious belief, and Christians are no different. Here is the actual answer of your question: Judaeo-Christian is a term used to describe the body of concepts and values which are thought to be held in common by Judaism and Christianity, and typically considered (sometimes along with classical Greco-Roman civilization) a fundamental basis for Western legal codes and moral values. In particular, the term refers to the common Old Testament/Tanakh (which is a basis of both moral traditions, including particularly the Ten Commandments); and implies a common set of values present in the modern Western World.
Ant this is the reason for the US to support the Jewish State!

Every since I can remember, every single news story about Israel has been one-sided, slanted, and biased against whatever political organization, people, or country that was going against the Jewish State. How come?
Can you say Lobbyist's? To this day there are political lobbyists vamping over our politicians to try and get Pro-Israeli U.S. Gov't stances and foreign policy favors. These organizations are based in America but they are funded by the Israeli Gov't. Sickening--do a search with the words Israel and lobbyists and you tell me.

I have no idea. But I think that we pity/support the jews for our personal political advantages and it makes it even easier to side with them in the war against muslims. But also keep in mind that Iraqs 'muslims' have the oil industry and a lot of power. And in most countries of the world muslims are living everywhere. SO now its another question entirely... is it religion love/hate for jews/muslims or just a power play. I think it is obviously all about power. Nobody cares about the muslims in Scotland. But if they are middle eastern filthy rich in oil muslims then they are a threat and we should destroy them! Nobody cares about religion they only care about impersonal interests.
Islam is the fastest growing religion in the US.

Many people believe that Israel was given by God to the Jews. Many belive that they are God's "chosen people". That's what it says in the bible.
Politically however, Israel is an indispensible tool to serve America's strategic objectives in the Middle East. Its all about fulfilling the "power" agenda.
No wonder the Middle East always had tensions.

If not for the curse of Abraham (Judaism, Christianity, Islam), we'd have a much nicer world.
If Palestine wasn't partitioned in 1947, 9/11 would not have happened.
