Israel air strikes kill 9 in Syria

We'd probably have better relations in the Arab world without Israel.

there wasn't widespread anarchy before the UN was established. 

The two biggest reasons that there is a segment of Islam/Muslims that fucking hate America with all their guts is because of the US's:

1) Constant intervention and bombardment of multiple primarily Muslim countries 
2) Constant support for Israel even when they do shit like build settlements on occupied Palestine land 

If the US strong-arms Israel into returning Palestine to autonomy (in exchange they can keep the Golan Heights and the Gaza strip, they won those fair and square), and then the US promptly fucks off from the region and lets Israel/Saudi Arabia/Iran become the regional problem causer, then 95% of the objections that Islamic extremists have with the US vanishes into thin air. 

The US could definitely strong arm Israel into a settlement as well.... Only the US and countries in western Europe do not acknowledge the existence of Palestine, and thats only because the US doesnt and west Europe simply follows along because the US is their big ally. If Israel is dumb enough to resist then they would risk isolating themselves from the US, and also from China and Russia that already recognize Palestine as an occupied area, which is something they simply cannot afford to do when Saudi Arabia and Iran become bigger foes with every passing year. 

Why we continue to back Israel and their actions while continuing out fuckery in the Middle East is beyond me 

Why we continue to back Israel etc.

Some of the more fanatical elements of Christianity have decided to fulfill some prophecy or other about gods chosen people returning to the promised land.

Can you account for the fact that supporters of Israel in the west tend to be more religious while their detractors in the west tend to be less religious?

You can deny that Christians support Israel for religious reasons, the problem with this denial is that you would be incorrect.

After reading the above you might say "Those people are supporting Israel for religious reasons but I disagree with those reasons". It would be perfectly valid for you to say that. In fact it is exactly what I would say.

However

After reading the above you might say "Those people are supporting Israel for entirely non-religious reasons". This would not be logical to say because it is so clearly and blatantly untrue.

Do you understand what I am saying?

I never denied they don't support for religious reasons.

Nowhere did I deny that it was not for religious reasons. What I did say, however, was that those religious reasons were stupid and contradictory.

3) Please compare post 57 and post 46. Specifically the "definitely not for religious reasons" part of post 46. Please write a short (1-2 sentences) of how these posts compare and get back to me.

Many Evangelical Christians would point to OT prophecies and the Book of Revelation as evidence that in the last days Israel would be reestablished, and believe that the fact of a general covenant between God and humanity through the coming of Jesus did not nullify God's promises to the Jews. They see the events of 1948 as the fulfillment of End Times scripture.
They also believe that the Third Temple will be constructed by the Jews (on the site of the Temple Mount), and that the Antichrist will defile it. But since prophecy must be fulfilled before the Second Coming they welcome all of these developments.

Some years ago there was an American Christian man who came to Israel seeking to burn down the Dome of the Rock and al-Aqsa mosque which would pave the way for the rebuilding of the Temple. So yes, supporting Israel is quite in line with some interpretations of the Bible.

Of course, it helps that Israel's culture and norms of government is a lot more western than the surrounding Muslim country, so even though they're Jewish the argument could be made that this is a Huntington-style case of "members of one civilization come to the aid of their own in defense against the alien other". Both the conservative and religious motivations are compatible within the Republican party.
