Will these same Christians boo Israel? May be not now, but when their lives return to normal.

Is Israel supplying the Christians with training and arms?

I believe those Christians are mainly ethnic Assyrians, NOT Arabs.

Shouldn't their attitude towards the United States be more decisive in our decision to back them than their attitude towards Israel? Since when was unconditional support for Israel made the litmus test for our foreign policy? During the Cold War, the US made alliances with many nations that either didn't care about or were hostile towards Israel, because the rational criteria at the time were A. were they US allies and B. were they anti-Soviet. Turning our backs on anti-ISIS/anti-Al Quaeda fighters, particularly Christian ones, because they don't love Israel is insanity.
