[QUOTE="catstalking, post: 6063422, member: 50268"] It is bizarre but it's rooted in misconceptions: 1. That Israel is a "western" country; it's not, it's decidedly Middle Eastern in culture, just a very different "Middle Eastern" than what we are used to 2. That the Jews and Christians are bros against Islam; this is insane cope, Jews look down on Christians as insane cultists and there is no inherent appreciation for any Israel-worship by the evangelicals 3. That the Arab states (and Muslims) suddenly began hating America FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER OUT OF THE BLUE and oh hey just a coincidence but Israel is our only friend in a sea of hate! This takes the cake really, even a basic reading of history shows clearly that Israel is hyper-belligerent lightning rod for enemies I guess I could rant on, but the tl;dr is military success (against literal military incompetents) and good Hollywood movies will really really do a number on people's beliefs....
