[quote=jsteele]The US position is based solely on domestic political considerations. There are three groups in the US that strongly support Israel (with some overlap between them): Neo-Cons, Evangelical Christians, and Jews. The first two already support the Republicans and there has been a desire for the past few decades to get the third to move the right. Personally, I think that is a bit of a pipe dream and is unfair to the Jewish community, but leading Democrats prefer not to take chances. As a result, the Democrats line up behind the most right-wing elements in Israel (while progressive Israeli groups are ignored). [/quote]
