Why USA protect and support Israel?

Every one interested in politics news should notice that the USA foreign policy focused on Israel's security and interests, for example the white house does not hesitate in using Veto against a resolution condemning Israel from UN, an important part of USA budget allocated to support Israel. Why USA protect and support Israel?



This policy is not a result of a popular desire but it is due to what called The Israel lobby (at times called the Zionist lobby ) it is a term used to describe the diverse coalition of those who, as individuals and as groups, seek and have sought to influence the foreign policy of the United States in support of Zionism, Israel or the specific policies of its government.The lobby consists of both Christian-American and Jewish-American secular and religious groups.

The Israel lobby or Zionist lobby is composed of formal and informal components.

- informal components :the Christian Broadcasting Network and the Christian Television Network Informal lobbying also includes the activities of Jewish groups, other Television Network and some companies.

- The formal component of the Israel lobby consists of organized lobby groups, political action committees (PACs), think tanks and media watchdog groups:

    Christians United for Israel, is the "largest" pro-Israel lobby.
    The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) which directly lobbies the United States Congress
    The Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations which "is the main contact between the Jewish community and the executive branch" of the US government.


















This lobby is the answer  of the question Why USA protect and support Israel?
