Because American values, whether they want to admit it or not, are 
similar to those of Jews. Nevertheless, I am not a fan of the term 
because I don't believe that Jews, practicing or not, have any respect 
for our religion. American Christians, for their part, seem to love 
Israel because they believe the government narrative that it is "the 
greatest ally in the Middle East." Again, I don't see it that way since 
they do little other than suck the American tit.
