I never watch anything on u-tube. It is not a reliable source of information. Americans in general are sympathetic to Israel for several good reasons:
1. It is the only country in the Middle East that shares democratic values with the US.
2. It is the only place in the Middle East that is a reliable, unconditional ally of the US.
3. Many Americans share religious beliefs with Israelis.
4.It is the only ally of America that has never asked an American soldier to shed blood for it's defense.
5, Israelis love America. I have been there and know that as a fact.
There are many other reasons.

The above is Kool-Aid ... propaganda ... an example of the Goebbels "repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth".
You have a viewpoint--unsubstantiated except for your personal experience of having been to Israel--and we are to take what you say without question, right?
1. Israel is an apartheid state and any statements that it is a democracy is just an outright deception.
"The standard line of the country's boosters is that it's the only democracy in the Middle East. The most concise criticism is that it is an "ethnocracy," as Israeli political geographer Oren Yiftachel argues in his 2006 book of that name. An ethnocracy, he explains, is a regime promoting "the expansion of the dominant group in contested territory
while maintaining a democratic façade." Looking at this debate in light of two new books by Israeli scholars and of a faded and remarkable document that I've just read in the Israel State Archives, it seems both sides could be right."
What does the Jerusalem Post article say? http://www.jpost.com/Opinion/Op-Ed-Contributors/Is-Israel-a-true-democracy-352445
2. Reliable allies don't attack USS Liberty, bomb the King David Hotel, steal nuclear secrets, steal F-35 secrets and threaten the world with the Samson option--nuclear annihilation should their existential threat be perceived great enough. Reliable allies don't provide funding to ISIS by purchasing their smuggled oil from ISIS at 1/3 the world price per barrel.
With friends like Israel we don't need enemies. Oh, the evidence is overwhelming that Israel was a key player in doing 9-11 with cover provided by the Jewish-dominated mass media. International zionism did 9-11. http://IsraelDid911.info
3. The Talmud teaches that Jesus is in hell, boiling in his own excrement and that his mother Mary was a whore. The Talmud also teaches that it is OK for Jews to cheat gentiles and even to kill gentiles.
4. The zionist campaigns for war need not originate in requests from Israel. AIPAC, Israel's agent in the U.S. has sufficient clout to ask Uncle Sam to shed American blood for Israel.American soldiers die as whores for Israel in wars with Israel's perceived regional enemies.
How many Israeli deaths are you aware of in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars? Israel benefits from destruction of its neighbors--an agenda some refer to as "Greater Israel Project".
5. Israelis should love America. They have health care, college tuition and other benefits from $11 million per day in "foreign aid" from the U.S. taxpayers--the highest standard of living of a welfare state (welfare provided by the U.S.).
Yes, we both could go on for hours. You selling your Kool-Aid and me disproving the propaganda, point-by-point.
