I don't think people get that that history of the US is what we're seeing in Israel now. What's happening to the people of the middle east happened first to the people of turtle island. It's the continuation of the same project of domination and land grabs.

Decades of propaganda because it serves the US's political interests in the Middle East.
I think it's a generational thing. After WW2 and the Holocaust there was support for a Jewish homeland. And of course you couldn't be seen as antisemitic. So the silent generation supported Israel, and the boomers still impacted by post WW2 inherited that mentality. But the next generation is questioning why exactly.
In addition I think the Christians see it as a crusade, whether they use that word or not, and hide it behind all sorts of reasons.
The fact that the West does not provide "guilt-based" support to African nations and India that they devastated shows that the idea of the Holocaust being the reason for the support of Israel is bullshit. A small faction of the victims of the past should not be allowed to do atrocities to another population
I don't think guilt based is the right word. It's not guilt.
Should not, but I think it does.
And do I really have to say why the West doesn't care about Africa?
Why they care about a faction from former victims to become the agressors and the same time not caring about other victims which are the african country?

xstians. They are huge on "proving" their religion right by prophecy coming to pass so they put a lot of effort to self fulfill them.
A wealthy elite from Wall Street to Hollywood with lots in between has a large and powerful contingent that is also Jewish American. On the whole, it is a large attractor to support for Israel. Every political campaign has to court the jewish vote regardless of stance to stay competitive in votes and campaign finance.
Ask Chuck Schumer what his job is.
I think the christian religion plays a large role, as many christian americans, who dominate our political cycle, see it as their "holy land".
I have a possible explanation that goes into religious themes and geopolitics from a perspective not many people should understand... one where it's believed (and proven) Vicarius Filii Dei = 666 in a form of Latin numerology not used anymore.
Historicists (people like myself) believe that the Jesuits set this up as a means to get people obeying the Antichrist Beast Popes of Rome (taking the Mark of the Beast on the right hand through actions), and of course, revering him as well (taking the Mark of the Beast on the forehead).
Why this context? The Jesuits were the ones who started Israel (this fake 1948 version), since a retired Jesuit Superior General (False Prophet to the Pope) went the Jerusalem in Occupied Palestine to control the upcoming wars (including WWIII, which we seem to be in right now). Zionism was created by the Jesuits using a yes man in Benjamin Herzl (he changed his name to Theodore to sound more Caucasian) back in 1898, where the first Zionist Congress was held. On top of that, this is practically the same as socialism, fascism, and communism. Think of Zionism as fake Khazar Judean socialism (a form of national socialism before Hitler).

Lmao is the crux of all this that a retired Jesuit visited Jerusalem?
I'm sure no one else visited Jerusalem during this time and I can't think of any other possible reason a member of a Christian religious order would visit Jerusalem.
I'm guessing the fact that Israel was created by Britain, which hasn't been Catholic since 1558, in no way presents an obstacle to your conspiracy theory. The idea of Jesuit priests infiltrating British parliament and controlling things behind the scenes is immensely funny to me. They wish, lol.
The real reasons both for Israel's creation and the US's support are material. The Middle East is full of oil. The US (and UK) want oil. It's literally that simple.
Britain turned Catholic in 1669 at the hands of King James II. They were always Catholic, yet Anglicanism is basically British Catholicism.

Graft, manipulation and blackmail.
Hahahahahahahah
It's because Israel has blackmailed US politicians for 70 years. They have the most active and ruthless secret service agency in the world (Mossad), and they used Jeffrey Epstein's child sex trafficking ring to generate blackmail on various powerful people. And there's more but thst's probably all you need as an entré
Imbuing governance with religion removes logic and reason from the answer to the equation. You’re looking for a logical reason where there is none.
Because Israel supplied the US with orange juice during the Korean War.
