re: Why do American Christians support Israel?

The Torah is online and I would start reading it if you are interested in researching the Jewish faith. The Jews did not directly order the killing of Jesus. Pontius Pilate gave in to the demands of the Jewish court who accused Jesus of blasphemy. Simply put the Jewish people did not recognize him as the "savior" but an upstart who threatened the "status quo". Jesus's roots will forever tie him to the Jews regardless of whether they consider him the messiah or not. Putting aside politics both Jews and Christians worldwide share the same family values and hard work ethics in addition to believing in "God the Father".
