I fully expect to be flamed for my opinion that is based mostly on anecdotal evidence but here goes anyway.... I maintain that Christians are more strident supporters of Israel than Jews themselves, in America at least.
Hard to flame an opinion that is SPOT ON!
http://archive.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2001/2/22/222039.shtml has this excellent anecdote from Barry Farber: I’ve long treasured the little story – true or not – about the European Jew who was hectoring the American Jew about the condition of Jewish life in America.
“You American Jews aren’t really Jewish,” complained the European Jew. “You’re assimilated. You spend all your time showing how non-Jewish you can be. Your children play high school football on Friday night. You eat ham sandwiches followed by milk shakes.
“We European Jews,” the tirade continued, “were holding regular services before Columbus even discovered America. We have the great synagogues, the great rabbis, the great liturgical collections.
“What,” demanded the European Jew, “do you American Jews have better than we European Jews?”
Without hesitation the American Jew replied, “Christians! We American Jews have the absolute best Christians Jews have ever been privileged to live among.”
