Why do Republicans defend Israels borders more than Americas?
Though Perry, let alone Romney, is the other side of the corporate owned coin as Obama I can't see what Americans get out of this blind support for Israel here. Perry would have Jerusalem the defacto capital of Israel without contemplating what that would mean for our relations with the other 99% of people in the Middle East, let alone our troops in harms way in Afghanistan or Iraq. Even Israelis themselves are pragmatic about peace and the real issues there. Shouldnt the governor of Texas be more involved in preventing his cronies from profitting off of our open border in Mexico rather than putting American on war footing over the Jordan valley!?

The Jews are part of the recipe for the End Times for a subset of American fundamentalist Christians who are waiting for the end of the world and the establishment of Christ's kingdom on earth. Without the conversion of the Jews their End Times dreams won't come true. So these delusional peeps end up being strong, unquestioning defenders of Israel, not because they especially like Jews but because they need them to stick around, convert to Christianity and start the ball rolling towards Christ's return. Perry is pandering to this group of religious right-wingers.

Jerusalem will always be the capital of Israel and that has nothing to do with how anyone "gets along" with others. It is just a fact. You fail to see the true importance here. If you would study and find out why there is even a people group who call themselves "palestinian refugees", you would begin to see how silly your question is.
Israel belongs to the Jewish people. Why don't the "others" in that area respect what they already have and leave tiny Israel alone. There is Someone bigger than you, them or me in charge of this fight.

Israel OWNS more republicans. Then there is the silly FundaMENTAList thing about God's chosen people. Of course, we could go back to the original reason for the founding of Israel: we don't want them here. That is first and foremost the reason they were inflicted on Palestine. Very much of the BILLIONS of dollars we give them comes back as campaign contributions -- legal bribery.

Judaism is the oldest surviving monotheistic religion, arising in the eastern Mediterranean in the second millennium B.C.E. Abraham is traditionally considered to be the first Jew and to have made a covenant with God. Because Judaism, Christianity, and Islam all recognize Abraham as their first prophet, they are also called the Abrahamic religions.
