Seriously, why is the USA supporting Israel?
Seriously, why is the USA supporting Israel?
The US is supporting Israel through what we can mostly all agree is a genocide of the Gazans. Clearly, Biden isn't a genocidal maniac, yet he's all in with unwavering support. Why are we doing this? There has to be a logical reason that isn't just "we want Israel to kill everyone in Gaza and take their land a la lebensraum."
We know this is an emotional topic, so please be respectful of each other so that we can have open and clear authentic discussion on the matter.

It’s really complicated.
Imagine if after 9/11, Bin Laden and al-Qaeda were held up in New Jersey, and had been launching small attacks to New York for years prior. They are intertwined into New Jersey and don’t operate like a nation state. Now imagine the US is the size of New York, and they are bordered by several other countries that basically want to wipe them off the face of the earth so they fund Al-Qaeda to do their dirty work.
Israel is in an extremely vulnerable position, and there’s no great answer. Remember the conflict in this area is practically older than recorded history. Hamas isn’t going to surrender, and obviously aren’t centralized to be taken out.
War sucks.
That was a very normal sounding response with a wide view while offering little information. I both appreciated and hate it.
How can a body of water stretch so far, yet be so shallow?
That’s the point. It’s an example of something you could better relate to. If you want more information, you’ve got a lot of history to read up on.
