Mark Twain once observed, " Ninty percent of people would rather do anything but think". By implication he described those same people as being more comfortable in being led and/or being quasi-slaves. He also is describing the relationship America has with Israel and it's Zionist supporters.
How slave-like or stupid is American foreign policy vis a vis Israel? Well, to follow the tasks set out by Israel, America must forgo most other postive relationships in the Middle East. This includes, but is not limited to, supporting Israel's constructive genocide of the Palestinians. It includes the Iraqi invasion. It includes supporting Israel's barbaric war crimes in Lebanon. It includes the prospective bombing of Iran and/or Syria.
Jimmy Carter's recent book, " Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid", is a serious examination of Israeli atrocites against the Palestinians. For his efforts, he has been called anti-semitic. Nothing could be further from the truth. Israelis and Zionists will get more criticism and deservedly so. If they want to make the world over into their selfish view, severe criticism goes with the territory.
