I don't get it

I just read a post at www.seraphicpress.com and it was about a man who was remembering his father. Following a major surgery the father awoke and the surgeon asked if anything was bothering him. "Yes", he said. "The situation of the Jews in Israel." I wonder why that doesn't bother more people. It bothers me and I'm not Jewish. Some of my friends who are don't seem bothered at all are Jewish. One of my friends from college, a Jewish girl, went to see Exodus with me. When the boat sailed she stood and cheered and applauded. Her grandfather had donated tons of money to help that happen. Today she is a staunch Democrat and donates tons of money to every single dem in the country. Many of those she supports do NOT support Israel and in fact, seem to be against that brave country. What is that about? Since when are people and countries not allowed to defend themselves. Why doesn't the threat of the Islamic world to erase Israel and it's people from the face of the earth create a huge blast of outrage. I don't get it.
