Sure, the jews are the backbone of the policy. But you should see the quotes of christian screwballs in Walt and Mearsheimer's The Israel Lobby and US Foreign Policy. I once heard some TX christian say the "jews are a holy race" and opposing them will bring down the "wrath of god."

Why is support for Israel much stronger in liberal but Jew-rich states (e.g.New York) than in Christian but Jew-poor states (e.g. deep south)?
