Australian here looking at this from the outside. The craziest aspect of the American-Israeli thing is the GOP's near fanatical pro-Israeli stance, because one of the core fundamentals of GOP ideology is the complete dismantling of social welfare including public education and publicly funded health care. This is all summed up in Ronald Reagan's infamous "Welfare Queen" remark. Heres' the thing. Israel is now politically dominated by the ultra-orthodox Jewish population and they don't work at all. Their men sit in Yeshiva's all day long and study the Torah. Their women mostly stay at home and raise their large families. They get their food, rent, power and medical all paid for by the rest of society and its all underwritten by the American tax payer. Up until recently they rarely served in the military. So how does the GOP support the State of Israel with tax payer money that has a welfare system that they would NOT TOLERATE in America?
