Palestinians: Settlement Expansion Means 1 State

131. That's a good question

In the US, Israel's attention is primarily driven by the pro-Israel side. Israel receives more support from the US than any other country. It's rather bizarre how much support the US gives Israel, especially considering how much Israel often acts against our own interests. Israel's critics have little power.

Liberals tend to dislike the powerful abusing the weak. Liberals tend to notice more what their own country is doing wrong rather than what some other country that they have no power or say over is doing. The pro-Israel crowd has made Israel an American issue.

US support for Israel is both religious and secular. Israel was created on land that three different religions consider holy, for the benefit of only one religious group, and to the detriment of the others.

Israel supporters are an important element in the US's pro-war stance in the ME. Israel supporters in the US are about the only driving force behind our economic terrorism against the 75 million people of Iran.

Israel is constantly on an aggressive pro-war stance. Israel has for many decades systematically severely discriminated against the native people for their religion. The powerful are destroying the lives of the weak, forcing millions to remain stateless. For similar reasons, South Africa received a lot of attention several decades ago.
