As long as a substantial number of christians consider Israel a divine-ordained country, there will not be any repercussions for any crime they commit.

The Bible contains literal instructions for genocide, and many Christians bemoan anci nt Israel for not following those instructions to the letter.

Only 8% of Americans have a positive impression of Zionism [1]. Whatever is driving US support for Israel, it's not the will of the people.

This survey also shows ~80% of those polled to have an impression of one of:

* neither positive or negative

* don't know, or

* unfamiliar

If you look for surveys that ask about support for Israel directly, you will get significantly different numbers.
