My theory is that rather than Israel itself, a big part of the blame lies with the Christians of America who have taken it upon themselves to support Israel, and the only reason they support Israel is because the bible says that the apocalypse will come when Israel is restored. Doesn't seem like a good reason to support or lobby for the interests of a country, does it? - Support the Jews in order to make everyone burn in hell forever.
It's the same problem with Islam - The more you pander to something, the more power it will gain.
But if you look at the structure, it's not that. The ADL and other such agencies are very active in protecting the Israel PR campaign in America and Israel has it's hands elbow-deep up the US's arse with spies and dual citizens and yet none of those people and none of the policies do much to protect Israel so much as constantly stir up hornets' nests in the Middle East and continue to make life suck for the average Israeli. The fat, couch potato middle America Christian does little more than instructed by a very well-connected Israeli PR campaign.
But none of it benefits the Israeli people. So one has to ask: who is really controlling Israel and their policies and, by proxy, many American and UN policies.
I'd venture a guess that you'd have to look beyond the countries and much farther down the line...probably back in England or the Netherlands or maybe even the giant Palace in Italy (but I'm none too sure about that one).
