...sense of the moral right of Israeli Jews to national self-determination reinforced by a powerful undercurrent of emotional and historical ties to the land of Israel. In addition, support stems from a pride in Israel's cultural and social achievements, gratitude for Israel's role as the ultimate guarantor of Jewish survival and dignity, and not the least important, a network of personal contact with people in Israel...
