I don't think that's entirely true. Europe was once solidly behind Israel, but their image in Europe has been on the decline since 1967. In the US, the cost in human suffering of Israeli military action has never been an issue -- until now. (at least not in the mainstream press). That gap in consciousness and the constant equation of Palestinians = terrorist has allowed Israel to maintain its image in the US. Now that Americans see bloodied children and weeping grandparents, support for Israel will probably ebb.
