Because Venezuala, China, Russia, Iran are not USA's friend;..

And why waste time on Israël?  It is just an small country where you better don't choose a side. Chosing a side always lead to chosing a religion.


No it doesn't. The conflict is over land not religion. There many Arab Christians who fight alongside their Muslim brethren, in fact a few of the resistance military groups where once lead by Christian Arabs.

Its just so happens that Israel is Jewish and Palestinians are predominantly Muslim, but that has nothing to do with the overall conflict beyond that Jewish claims to the land stem from their religious identity.

I hate it when people assume Islam/Judaism have been warring for centuries when its wholly inaccurate and in fact Jews lived best in Islamic lands until the first World War when the Zionist movement began to focus on Palestinian lands as their homeland. (btw, I know you didn't state it was an age old war)


I know the conflict is about land.  Where do I say it doesn't? 
Their is hardly any country in EU that is pro Israël by the simple fact that the muslim population will not like it. Jews are getting beaten up by Muslims in Europe because of Israêl, so yes if I tomorow say I am pro Israël I have a problem.

And yes their are plenty of muslims who see this conflict about religion rather than land..

Also in the USA/

Like the University California where a speech got disruped by muslims:
