For starters I must tell you that I am a Jew. That is my religion. However, I am not a Zionist. I am an American and proud of it. I have never been to Israel. If I should go there it would be as a tourist.
My view is that the U.S. should help all nations regardless of their race, color, religion or origin. Israel is a parliamentary democracy. Parliamentary democracy originated in Great Britain. Israel has been an ally of the U.S. since it came into being in 1948. Israel has depended upon the U.S. to help defend its borders but no Americans have ever fought there. Aid has always been in the form of money and military arms.
So what has the U.S. gained from this relationship? This web site tells it better than I. http://www.ads4israel.com/ .
