I'm stepping on a landmine here...but I'll respond.

It's okay Xel. You're only skeptical because you're Polish. You don't trust Israel because you're a homophobe and sexist.
The researchers also asked whether “Jews try to take advantage of having been victims during the Nazi era.”

Almost half the Germans questioned responded in the affirmative; the country’s 48.9% result was the highest among the Western European countries. The Netherlands provided the lowest percentage, with 17.2% affirming that Jews were trying to exploit the Nazi era. The number for Poland was 72.2%, and Hungary reached 68.1%. France reached 32.3%, England 21.8%, Portugal 52.2% and Italy 40.2%.

Küpper said that Poland and Hungary were also plagued by extraordinary levels of sexism and homophobia.
As the above illustrates, a very carefully crafted PR campaign, decades long.

As for the US, a whole chunk of morons believe that the Rapture only can come true if the Jewish people are in Israel, so it is their duty to defend them.
