Best Answer

Because the U.S. supports all democracies. Furthermore, outside of Israel, the U.S. has the largest Jewish population in the world.

Will the us ever be against Israel?

It is conceivable that the United States could take a more critical position towards Israel, but for the next two decades, the US should maintain a Pro-Israel approach because of the large number of Zionist Christians in the United States. In a few decades, however, the younger generation of Americans will be more prominent and they are less Pro-Israel than their parents. Whether this will have a demonstrable effect on US Foreign Policy remains to be seen.


How can interest groups lobby successfully in the political climate where both established political parties do not seem to agree on anything?

Lobbying groups change their pitches to accommodate the different interests of their target. For example, the Pro-Israel lobby targets US Republicans by appealing to the military and strategic benefits of maintaining an alliance with Israel and the Pro-Israel lobby targets US Democrats by appealing to their desire for human rights, democracy, and technological innovation.

Should the US stop funding Israel and make them pay their own bills?

No. The AID to Israel is as helpful for the US as it is for Israel. The question of US funding in Israel is primarily for military hardware. The US does not provide economic aid to Israel. First, the US Aid to Israel makes up about 0.03% of the US GDP. To put that in perspective, it would pay for around a week in Iraq or half-a-day of Social Security. Additionally, 80% of the money earmarked for Israel can only be spent by Israel on US-produced weapons. This means that the money appropriated for Israel mostly goes to support US firms and US jobs, making it a win-win for both Israel and the US. This is aside from the fact that numerous recent technological innovations in both military and civilian technology have come to the US from Israel, providing economic gains that more than offset the remaining 20%.
