 The advantage (for people like you and I) of the Orthodox group in Israel is that they support of Trump and co, who are battling for power in Western states against the people that are trying to convert us all into sterile little oompa-loompas.

But we commoners don't have any real influence in this fight so having an Irish Coffee and watching the show IS a legit reaction. 
 Now the Big Power Move for Israel right now would be to stir the pot of antisemitism in the West, and to sponsor terrorism against Jews in the West to make them feel like the only place they can sleep safely at night is in Israel, so therefore support of Israel is a survival imperative.
