Ms Attitude:
Seriously guys, we want people to assimilate into America, we really prefer that other nationalities adopt American ways when they come here.
It’s not the same thing. Israel is vital to the Jews. A Jew will assimilate to the culture of their new homeland, but Israel is always home, but not in a way that a native country is home to other groups. It’s much more spiritual than that. Jews being anti-Israel is like Muslims being anti-Mecca. I may get in trouble for that comparison, but I think it comes closest than anything else.
The Holocaust changed all that because the Jews needed a safe haven and one was provided for them in Palestine.
Israel was not “given” to the Jews because of the Holocaust! Israel always belonged to the Jews. You pretty much alluded to that yourself when you said Just like you don’t really relate to the politics of the land of your ancestors
