Being an American, can you enlighten us more on the topic? Why do you guys or Zionist Supporters do so?
If Italy or Australia or even France were besieged by non-democratic states and stateless terrorists, I would argue that America should support each and all of them every way practical. That doesn't mean I think America should go to war every time a democracy is threatened, but I do think America should be more than better than merely neutral. And, guess what? As a broad generalization, that is America's policy. That is why we support South Korea. That is why we offer protection for Taiwan. That is why non-democratic nations are never invited to join NATO.
Now of course, this isn't a hard rule in every instance. We supported South Korea and some other countries before they became full-fledged democracies. But that support was always in the context of a larger struggle against tyranny (AKA the Cold War) and American pressure was far more often than not pointed in the direction of greater democratization. We haven't been perfectly consistent about this policy, but we've become more consistent over time, and rightly so. The great current exception is how we deal with other regimes in the Middle East. We don't push them toward democracy, largely because of oil politics and our desire for "stability".I'm not sure I would want to enforce our principles too aggressively. Hamas's electoral victory shows that democracy absent a democratic culture can be a ticket to one-man one-vote, one time.
I think all of these points applied to American support for Israel from the beginning, but they seem particularly more relevant since 9/11. It seems just absurd to talk about Jihadism and terrorism as real or even existential threats to America and then, in a blink of an eye, argue that Israel is in the wrong.
Israel deserves American support not so much because it's Jewish, but because it is a democratic ally besieged on countless fronts by undemocratic and often barbaric forces and apologists for same.
Then theres the other side the more Muslims and Arabs engage in terrorism, the more we have against,,,we think people that deliberatly attack civilians are evil or insane.
