Perhaps another factor in maintaining the U.S.A.'s support for Israel, besides political pressures from the organized Zionist movement (both Jewish and Christian), plus the longstanding pro-Israel slant of most mainstream Western news media, might be a pro-Israel slant of Western entertainment media as well?
This is aspect of the situation is something I personally don't know much about at all. I don't pay much attention to popular entertainment culture at all. So I will need to leave it to others here to share evidence both for and against this hypothesis.
Be that as it may, I just now ran into the following commentary about a longstanding popular TV show, "NCIS":
NCIS is one of the most popular TV shows of all time. It's about a small federal agency that's supposed to investigate the non-combat deaths of Navy personnel. So why is Mossad—the Israeli CIA—such a major part of the show?
Of course, much longer ago, there was the 1960 Exodus movie.
