re: #491 Aceofwhat?

The US has been a good ally to Israel, though their partnership with Saudi Arabia and other states in the area is rather difficult to swallow. But Jews are not Israel.

I’m not really sure what ‘moral support’ is, unless you mean supporting Israel’s actions. Other than that, I don’t know what moral support would mean.

Political support for Jews in the US has been increasingly good ever since World War II, but is now getting worrying again with the rise of Dominionists and the Paulinites.

The US has been the best home for the Jews other than a few isolated countries, but that does not mean that the US doesn’t also have large forces of antisemitism at work.

In other words: I think the US has done the best at not being antisemitic, but that’s still an award for not being an asshole.
