They're an ally because they kill slightly browner people
Not a huge fan of the Israel situation but it does seem like they often stay out at the US's request:
During the 1990β1991 Gulf War, Iraq carried out a missile campaign against Israel, in which it launched 42 modified Scud missiles (designated Al-Hussein) at Israeli cities with the strategic objective of provoking Israel into launching retaliatory attacks and potentially jeopardizing the multinational coalition formed by the United States against Iraq, which had full backing and extensive contributions from other Muslim-majority states; Israel did not respond to the Iraqi missile attacks due to American pressure, and Iraq failed to gather support for its occupation of Kuwait.
slowly lowers pitchfork they are still an apartheid state but okay
Dont look up double citizens in the congress. Cant send your own people to die lmao
Yeah, because there definitely isn't a reason why Israel sending troops to other Middle Eastern countries would be a bad idea. It's definitely just because they're a bad ally.
Can someone explain how the US benefits from Israel?
They keep all the Jews in the promised land so the rapture can happen soon. /s
That is literally the reason, not sure why you "/s" flagged it. The USA would still support Israel without the American evangelicals because of the large jewish population of the USA, but Israel would have a much more conciliatory approach toward the Palestinians.
It gives it control over the area by keeping israel dependent on the US. Part of why the US actually wants the conflicts at the area to remain. This is basically the cold war phase 2.
Lotta antisemitism here
lol
They are the cause of every pointless war in that region that we get involved in.
That's like going out to the local pub and having that one buddy who constantly antagonizes the neighboring booth and then when the shit hits the fan, expects you to protect him, while he runs and hides under one of the tables.
