Not Just Allies
According to a US poll conducted on Thursday, Israel was considered one of the five most loved nations in the world by US citizens.
Right back at ya.
The results of the survey held that 68 percent of American citizens completely support Israel, while 23% do not.
And it gets even better:
Following the Hamas victory in the PA elections, only 11% of Americans surveyed supported the Palestinian Authority.At the bottom of the list, the poll found that US citizens least support Iran.
Update: Here’s one more reason for US citizens to love us.
Farmers in Israel raise crops in conditions that couldn’t be more foreign to their Ohio counterparts. But the arid soils, limited water and cramped spaces have turned Israeli farmers into experts at making crops bloom in the desert.A group of Ohio farmers hopes to use that expertise to improve productivity. A 29-person delegation is leaving Sunday for a 10-day trip to Israel to learn everything from water management to milk processing to handling urban expansion.
“I’m extremely intrigued by the ability of them to grow enough crops for 7 million people in the desert,” said Daniel Corcoran, 42, who raises soybeans, wheat and alfalfa on his 4,000-acre family farm near Waverly in southern Ohio. “Hopefully, there are things we can bring back here.”

You betcha! I know I love ya! And always willin’ to stand up for Isreal. IN my opinion, anyone who does not support Isreal is not a real American and should be deported!
The farming delegation is awesome – we have a ton of unused desert here that could be used for something better.
I was surprised to learn that Israel cannot support its own milk industry (?) when I ran into some orthodox jews at the lubavitcher center here in Boise who had just come from kashering an entire dairy here in Idaho for just a week for the milk to export to Israel (in dehydrated form). Wow.
