Its FUNNY:

Why is it all national politicians of the most powerful nation in the world has to mention many time in their campaign and political life "Israel"? This country of only about six million. Who in the heartland gives a shit about Israel or France???

I'm amazed how this alien phenomena has so completely permeated the political culture and no one, not even Native Americans say, what? If there are any groups of people that need to be mentioned would be the Indians and not some guys half a world away!!!!!!
