Why has the US given Israel unwavering support? Are the Jewish lobbyists that powerful?

It's also strategic, right? Israel is essentially a US base located smack dab where we may need it to secure vital resources. Lobby or not, we must need them or I don't think the majority of the US population would tolerate the riches allocated there.

I feel like we have our resources invested in allies such as Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Egypt and UAE though. Israel does provide a place to garrison our troops, but is it really all that important? If there wasn't such ridiculous support for Israel, I would think that much of the middle eastern belligerence, tension and terrorism would be quelled.
