It’s been a stance the US has had since the inception of Israel after ww2. Back then, the US had significantly more christians and christians tend to view jews as important because the bible says israel is where the end of days is supposed to start. After that decline, Israel has been viewed as an important ally for military reasons.

This is what I was taught when I was a kid. Somewhere in the Bible I think it says “blessed are the allies of Israel” or something like that but that seems like a terrible reason to arm and fund a genocide so it seemed like there had to be a different reason

This will be one of the few times that having a bible thumping bitch of a step mother will come in handy. That’s definitely a verse but the story of end of days or “The Rapture” goes suchly

The antichrist will return and work to reunite the peoples of the desert, while doing so, they will also rebuild the lost temple of israel and once complete will sit upon the throne at which point the great armies shall unite in the middle east in a furious bloodshed. The antichrist will bring peace to that fight and demand subserience from all man. At that point, the rapture will happen and then the final prophecies shall begin.

For christians, this is seen as a good thing as they will be raptured and the good humans shall live in god’s final kingdom. For any of this to happen, Israel needs to exist.

In short, dogma as fuck.

    I don’t disagree at all, But I feel like the only reason why the United States has any interest in controlling the Middle East is because of the oil.

    because they created israel as a reason to have a strong military base in the mideast.

    the us doesnt really give a shit about jews. its about military power.

    It’s a radar outpost. We have real bases capable of projecting troops and airpower all over the middle east. We could move the radar into Jordan and be fine.

    That was during the Cold War. You know, 40 odd years ago?

    That’s not a reason to go all in on Israel now.

    That’s not actually true. The reason there’s been such a big push by conservative states to support Israel is specifically because support waned after the Cold War.

    And the people actually in charge of defense trust Israel so much we have a, (checks notes), small outpost there. We have 13,000 troops in Kuwait alone. 9,000 in Bahrain, 8,000 in Qatar. Kuwait and Qatar both host giant military bases that our actual allies operate out of as well.

    Don’t tell me what was going on in 1985. Tell me what’s going on now.
