First and foremost you need to differentiate thingsbhere, as supporting Israel has become polarized. Same way as supporting South Korea over North Korea, or Japan vs China. Even more polarized than supporting Ukraine over Russia. So you will find an overwhelming amount of people, Jews or not supporting Israel, and the other overwhelming amount of people supporting its destruction.
But, if you still feel afinity(if you don't, you are an exception) to the country of origin of your family even a little, you have no place to dictate Jewish support for Israel. And you have no place to even criticize Israeli support if you even rooted for any Nato country in any intervention. Or if you even rooted or showed support for Catholics or protestants in Ireland, enjoyed st. Patrick's day, Cinco de Mayo, or even rooted for any other country, allied or not to America for whatever reason.
Whatever affinity I may feel towards my ancestral homeland stops far short of my wanting American resources being allocated to supporting it. Or prioritizing its well-being at the expense of America's well-being. They have their own government; let them allocate resources toward funding the policies they want and advocate for their interests. My government should be allocating resources toward my people and advocating my peoples' interests. That's what I pay them to do.
Right, so now it went from "support" to financial aid. I wonder where it will go next from here...
US sends aid for a myriad of nations. Perhaps a continuation of WWII policies and the rebuilding of Europe and Japan. But either way America only sends aid to Israel for the sake reason it sent to Europe to stop communism in the fold war. Albeit in this case it is far less, and with more strings attached. As in, Israel can only spend it on American products. Otherwise it is cut.
In your logic perhaps America shouldn't have helped Europe rebuild, deal with the famine in Germany with their air bridges nor helped stop communism.
