Someone please enlighten me. It seems to me that if we stopped supporting them we would have alot less enemies in the world.

Probably because they are more friendly to Christianity then Islam is.

I think Tibet is more friendly to Christianity than Isreal but you dont see the U.S. giving them $ and weapons.

Because they're the only democracy in that region. 
Iraq may be one as well, but:

Penguarky Tunguin has a good point; Democracy in the middle east.
Also, Israel is one of the countries in the middle east that actually has large support for the US.
Maybe its because we bailed the Jews out in WWII and basically enabled Israel to exist.
Maybe its because Jews having their own country plays a huge role in the Christian Armageddon occurring.
The reason is undoubtedly multifaceted.

Because if we didn't support Isreal, right now there wouldn't BE an Israel.
That and we gotta have some ally over there.
