I’m cynical, but not nearly as you. :- )

I think Rs who support israel see Arabs and their value system as a common enemy. Rs tend to see the world more in terms of right and wrong vs a fuzzy grey area, and they see Israel as a friend.

I’ve met several evangelical christians who are supportive of israel for religious reasons, and their support is anything but fickle. Quite the opposite — they’re following God’s heed in their support of the jewish state (“I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you.”) Granted, I may not agree with them on many other political issues, but their support for israel is deep and genuine.

As for Kadima vs Likud, the US Congress has been quite supportive of Israel regardless of who’s in charge. Similarly, people opposed to israel remain opposed, Kadima, Likud, or Labor.
