Ecumenical accompaniment programme in Palestine and Israel

I agree with Miles. It is truly amazing how devoted USA is to being an advocate of Jewish/Israeli interests around the world, no matter how unjust or ridiculous they are. I don't get it. Just out of curiosity: doesn't average American citizen see this?

The U.S./Israel foreign policy issue is pretty low on the totem pole to most Americans. Add that to most U.S. politicians being cowards and we are stuck with the status quo. Outside of Ron Paul, I can't think of a national leader that really talks about fundamentally changing the relationship. One would think that with the settlement issues and the fact that our support for Israel is a major thorn in the Arab side our national leadership would stop the absurd amount of money, arms and support we give them. But hey that would be the logical thought process.
