As an American myself, I’ve asked several people this question. No one seems to know why either. Is it strategic position in the world? I don’t think they have anything the US can exploit besides that really. Am I missing something? Political arguing aside what exactly is the motivation? Thanks for any explanations.
USA has the largest Jewish population outside of Israeli. And Jewish people are over-represented in media, government, and other leadership/power positions. They are also much wealthier. 55% of jewish households in USA make over 100K, only 19% of the general population does…
All of the most successful/influential people I have known in my life were Jewish, and very pro-Israel. The only Jewish people I have known who was critical of Israel was Israelis who were born there. American Jews seems to idealize it, like you said. Because they only go there for birthright and they believe they are a superior people.
