Because Jews are very powerful in US. They now have 13 senators. Their lobby is one of the most "influential." Very good question. More Jews in US congress than ever, even though they are only 5% of population.

Israel does not practice apartheid. Every Israeli citizen has full and equal rights under Israeli law, and there are Christian and Islamic members of the Knesset.
As for the UN, Israel was officially a racist state from 1975-91, when a Nazi war criminal was Sec Gen. Anti-Semitism (ie Jew-hatred) is the only form of ethnic hatred the UN doesn't condemn. The UN condemns Israel on a regular basis, but says nothing about Sudan, Rwanda, China, Lybia, Cuba, Syria, Saudi--some of which sit on the UN Human Rights Committee. (How's that for irony?) Oh, and it took the UN 60 years to recognize the Holocaust. I would never use the UN as a credible source for anything.

I will get thoroughly flamed for this, but the reason the US government supports Israel as strongly and as unquestioningly as it does is the Conservative Christian agenda. They believe that they must have access to "the holy land" so that when the "Rapture" comes and all the dead rise, they will go there. They want a friendly government there...it wouldn't matter if it was Palestinian...although radical Islamists have frightened most of the American public into thinking Israel is a stable democracy worthy of our support.

Israel is the only state in the middle east that will, without question, support and defend the US in the event of a global or regional conflict. Would you prefer that we support Saudi the same? Sudan? Eygpt? Libya? Iran? Who do you think we align with more? Israel is the only true ally in the Middle East that we have and to not support them would be a tremendous mistake. It has nothing to do with lobbying or money, it has to do with strategic partnerships and self preservation.

I'm sure that U.S. doesn't support Israel for this reason, but the Bible clearly states that those that bless Israel will be blessed by God. I personally completely support Israel and the God-given right to their land.

Because the Israeli lobby in washington is the single most powerfull lobby on earth, they give billions to both the republican and democratic parties. I have asked questions similar to this and someone always has them removed.
