The question of Australia is exactly the same, but unfortunately nothing to do with this debate. It has nothing to do with the subject of this thread except as a comparison and I thought that given my views on the current subject, my answer to that question would be perfectly apparent. Also any damage done was done over 100 years ago when attitudes were somewhat different. Today we are supposed to be a little more civilised.
Would you care to enlighten me as what I do not understand about the holocaust? At least I do not refer to "many holocausts", it is you who have it wrong and I urge you to consult any dictionary or Jewish history site. "The Holocaust" refers to one event in Europe approx. 1933 - 1945. If you mean the constant displacement and harassment of the Jews where ever they went, my opinion has already been given in that the Jews were usually only only treated in this manner when they insisted on not assimilating in their new country of choice. I and many generations of my ancestors have assimilated in my country of birth, and have never suffered any disadvantage or harassment. As a Jew who had assimilated, one of my relatives, Samuel Gluckstein Joseph, went on to be a very popular Lord Mayor of London.
Prior to the arrival of the European Jews and the formation of the new Jewish state, Palestine was "relatively peaceful" when compared with other countries in its time and part of the world.
In my opinion Israel only has the degree of support from the United States that it has, for two reasons:
(1) They are the enemy of the enemies of the US.
(2) The powerful American Jewish lobby which makes it politically expedient at this time.
P.S. added later. Del Boy, when you next refer to "Arabs", go and look up the true meaning of the word Semitic, as interpreted, all Semites are "Arabs" including the Jews.
