Or how about...the most obvious reason to support Israel?

Because it's the right thing to do.

I agree, but I get the impression from Wilton's posts that he doesn't believe it is the right thing to do. Which, I think, is one reason why he characterizes U.S. officials that support Israel as being treated like Israel's "mule," rather than pursuing a policy that they believe is the correct one. But even if you don't think it's the right thing to do, you can still recognize that it might very much be in the US' interests - or in DJT's interests - to support Israel's current policies.
