A combination of several intersecting factors has led to a perception of Israel in the average voter’s mind in the US as basically the ultimate safe haven of the Jews, so any attempt to pivot away from providing as much aid as they need looks like the abandonment of the Jews to a second Holocaust.
The average US voter is largely unaware of the absolute extent of Israeli crimes against humanity, among many other things that would probably otherwise earn Israel the reputation of a rogue state on par with apartheid South Africa or North Korea, what they are aware of is the history of antisemitic persecution that Zionists cite as what necessitated the creation of Israel, something that American Jews at the time actually rejected, but were basically overruled on in the cultural narrative due to Israel using a huge diplomatic lobbying effort to win over American political leaders in combination with the Evangelical great awakening in America fostering an independent christian Zionist movement that viewed the existence of Israel as crucial for the rapture to happen, nevermind how that book of the Bible itself declares that attempting to know the date of the rapture by any means is idiocy at best and outright heresy at worst.
