I'm a pretty strong supporter of Israel, actually. I support the US, too, but I still will argue against any creeping attacks on the separation of church and state. In the case of Israel, since I don't live there it is less concerning to me, and regardless of what the situation is there WRT church and state, I think that even a religious (orthodox) Israel is valuable as a counter to the rest of the islamist ME (and yes, I use islamist on purpose, as I think it represents the trend).
