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.

  • The military industrial complex needed some new juice after the US left Afghanistan. Those businesses can't scale back and the defense budget can't be reduced, no, never.

    Biden may not be a genocidal maniac, but he is a warmonger. I'm hoping his presidency will get people to realize that the Democratic party desires war just as much as Republicans, but that doesn't look like it's happening

    • Unfortunately, the people who need to realize this seem immune to reason or ethics. The two-party system has created a majority of voters who treat politics like a sports game and react by regurgitating the same untruths over and over again. For Republicans, everything is "woke," and "woke" = bad to them. For Democrats, anyone who criticizes Biden in the least is a "Russian bot" or "Trump supporter."

      In the meantime, human beings are experiencing dire consequences and grave injustices, suffering, dying -- and all we can do is talk about it and hope that someone will listen, but they won't, because to them nothing else matters except the campaign, and to them the campaign never ends.
