Something not mentioned yet is American Evangelical Christians. They are powerful voting bloc; they also believe that Israel must be in Jewish control for the second coming of Christ, and as a result the politicians they vote for all support Israel more or less unconditionally.

Correct, a sizable number of these lunatic US neocons support Israel because they believe that once all the Jews are gathered there, a holy war will begin in which Jews and Muslims will obliterate each other and Jesus will come take all the Christians to heaven. But the ones that aren't totally insane just support Israel because of its geopolitical significance.
