The problem, as I see it, is the low educational standards within the USA, particularly amongst politicians and the related, religeous fundementalism that pervades everything. You end up with a powerful political layer of religeous idiots who actually believe in biblical literalism such that the earth is less than 10,000 years old and the [modern] Jews are gods chosen people. The zionist Israelis are more than happy for these useful idiots to direct policy. These are the people guiding the political direction and the ones worshiping and supporting Israel. Until these people are removed from positions of power nothing will change.
