For example, Jews create a racist Jewish project called Israel/Zionism in the Middle East and the American taxpayers are forced to support this Jewish state with hundreds of billions of dollars. Where is the so-called Separation doctrine when it comes to Jews?

What has Israel ever done for the US anyway

First of all, Jews are not given special privileges in America.
Many Jews are wealthy, many are not. The last census done on Jews is that they are wealthier in proportion than other religions, but the idea that all Jews are wealthy is nonsense.
The question now is why do we support Isreal? And why is there little criticism of supporting Isreal? Well, there is a lot of criticism when Isreal does something wrong, like bulldozing down houses with people inside. And many Democrats were able to criticize Isreal when it occupied Lebanon for a bit.
However, in general, I think there is a bias towards supporting Isreal, and I think the previous answerer had it right: that we have a tradition in this country of anti-semitism due to WWII. When we discovered the horror that Hitler wrought it sort of shocked many of us out of our antisemitism that was popular before the war. Hence, we naturally supported a state for Isreal because they were a small minority needing some protection.
On the other hand, no conservative today would support a homeland for Mexican-Americans even though there are similar reasons - that Mexicans were here before the Americans and were invaded and ruled by America and immigrated into America to form a large number of Latinos.
Even if it were possible to create a just division of land to give to Isreal, certainly the expulsion of Arabs on land once owned by them is beyond any one's doubt a war crime, and one wonders why we now accept it without reconsideration. We take it for granted that Isreal has a right to exist, when in fact no conservative could defend that right if it happened to them. In effect, it is really a 'might makes right' rule.

Jews are not given, nor do they have “special” privileges. The US government gives billions of dollars in economic aide, including loan guarantees to a host of nations in around the world. Aide is not limited to Israel. In fact the US gives equally to Israel, Jordan and Egypt. Why? Because those three Mid East nations have a bona fide peace and trade accord that has lead to peaceful co-existence among the three. Egypt and Jordan have not suffered in this deal.
But the move to stop any and all criticism stems from the same reasons that Blacks, Hispanics, Muslims and other minorities attempt to insulate themselves from criticism. I have no problem with holding people to standards and criticizing their words and deeds. But you cannot deny that at times the invectives are hurled at individuals or groups for who and what they are rather than what they say or do.
I have to say that your rant appears to be anti-Jewish rather than a legitimate criticism of objectionable views and behaviour.

Israel racist? You obviously don't know very much about it. Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East. Arabs can be citizens, with full rights, including the ability to vote and serve in the Knesset (legislature). Now if you want to see racist, just look at the surrounding Arab countries. Most don't allow Jews to live there at all. In the few that allow them, they're second class citizens at best. I'd rather be an Arab in Israel than a Jew in any Muslim country!

The truth is that they control the US, so they use the US as a proxy to support Israel! Jews are quite a few millions but they are well educated and controlled a lot of our infrastructures and economy! They just got the balance of power on their side! And its only our own fault if we let them do what they want! We should get better educated instead of choosing entertainment over every other things in life! They just can`t forget that life is a hard thing to deal with, and getting more clever is the only way to survived in this world! So you are clever too, to see what they are doing, but they are just untouchable!!

all elected people rely on votes and self interest votes,no government in the western world would get elected if they did not secure the jewish vote or criticised israel.its a throwback to world war 2 when everybody felt guilty about the hollocaust and allowed a bunch of jews to settle in the middle of a bunch of arabs.america for some reason is fanatical about israel i believe it is because of nothing but jewish votes.

We are the United States of America. We support democracies all over the world. The reason? No democracy has ever attacked or declared war on another democracy. The goal? A democratic world. A world without war.

Racist organizations are supremacy-driven, whereas Jewish/Zionist organizations are basically geared towards self-preservation.

They use their money for the good of the economy. What have the arabs done to improve humanity?

I've got a better question: why do you seem to be only a ranting anti-Semite?
Blocked and flagged. Move on, everyone. This question is a waste of space.
