If you want to talk about "the American psyche" (as if there were such a thing in your increasingly polarised country), then maybe it would be more accurate to say that it has become the default position to view Israel as the troubled good guys surrounded by turban-wearing bad guys. That's a far cry from "can do no wrong".
Even among many on the left it is becoming the default view. They feel like not supporting Israel and Zionism will discredit them.
