    I don’t even know what the US gets in return for supporting Israel. There’s not even any oil to be had.

      Look up AIPAC and who receives money from them. Hint: their largest recipient was Biden.

        Bingo. AIPAC funds a lot of election campaigns and gives the most money to the most pro Israel politicians.

        That, more than anything, is why most everyone in Congress is Westworlding.

      Nobody can do shit about it anyways so they are going to do it for whatever reason. Red and blue party just won elections and it’s going to win again in 4 years, government gonna do whatever they want.

      Israel can fuck up every oil field in the middle east, so I guess the thinking is that it keeps everyone in the region in line?
