Been thinking about why (((Israel))) was praised - Holocaust remembered - and so much time given at the state of the union.

Keep your friend close, and your enemies closer. It is all about optics. POTUS took away their ability to be the victim. He has given them everything they want. When the time comes to pay for crimes committed - it will have nothing to do with race, religion, or anything else for that matter, other than you are guilty and will pay. If there is a demographic that is represented to a higher degree, well, perhaps birds of a feather. Fly eagles fly.
