The U.S. government has been supporting the killing of Arabs for many years now by giving between 3.5 and 5 billion of your tax money to Israel, every year. There are only 14 million Jews in the entire world. There are only 4.8 million Jews in Israel. That money is about $1,000 for every man, woman, child, and baby in Israel who is Jewish, every year.
Perhaps you could argue that courting the Jewish vote has (in part) caused some of the blind supprt of Israel. One has to acknowledge the Christian religious right, and their belief that the Jews must control all of Jerusalem in order for Jesus to return to Earth. Besides just supporting Israel, the U.S. government has turned a blind eye towards the Israeli motive in the six-day war, as well as completely ignoring reports of atrocities commited by Jewish soldiers (like Ariel Sharon).

In certain neighborhoods in Belfast, wearing green or orange will get you a good ol' Irish kneecapping. Does that count?
