This is a question that have been trying to answer since i was in my fourth grade ... how come people with basic common sense believe in Israel and support it? am i missing something here ?

Cultural reasons.
For one their is some feeling of guilt in the western world for what happend to the jew in the second World War.
Than their is a commitment to the historical decision to build a Jewish state.
Their is a strong Jewish lobby in the US that has political influence.
A more modern reason is that suddenly the US finds it unfair that other forces don't fight with the US rules (with would be the US win's any war), but use more efficent ways to wage war known as terrorismn.
The war against terror rethoric polarizes the world into two sides, and since Israel doesn't use terrorismn anymore, Israel is on the side on the US.
