There is more to "support" than just sending money and, of course, supporting someone doesn't mean agreeing with every last thing they do.
I think the situation is very complex and I can't say "Obama supports Israel" or "Obama doesn't support Israel" without any qualifications. My hope is for a strong, independent Israel that helps stabilize the Middle East. That is obviously a big, nebulous goal and there are a lot of factors. I just wish people would take a more measured, nuanced and less absolutist approach to characterizing the issue.
