Why is Israel so important to Americans?
I have wondered for years why Israel seems more important to a majority of Americans, then other Americans?
The US Senate just passed a bill to give Israel millions for their 'Iron Dome' anti missile defense system...and yet didn't seem to pass funding for the men and women fighting the fires out West!
Not trying to start a war, but I am honestly interested in the why?
