Like let's put aside socialism, morals, basic humanity. Why the fuck does the west support Israel to the degree it does? Like it only alienates basically every other potential partner in the ME. It can't effectively serve as a barracks state because who would we need that army to fight that wouldn't only make things worse? Their economy is basically propped up by the USA. Yes they serve as a platform for weapons and systems testing, but they don't need a complete blank cheque too it. Like I don't get this logic. Cut em a check and pull bibi's leash and wash your hands of it. Like the logic of "Unconditional 110% support" is just fuckin nuts. Yeah sure a good bit of it us ideology, but there has to be some matrierial calculus in there somewhere. They are basically sacrificing the baby Ukraine over this.
To keep the Middle East destabilized. If Middle Eastern countries are destabilized then the US can get oil for cheap. If they unified, the whole US empire could collapse.
Now I know it seems odd because Israeli occupation of Palestine is a rallying call for pan-Arab solidarity. Well you're right, this is an inherent contradiction. But the US is happy to keep supporting Isn'treal because they are a threat to Syria and Iran. And if another Six Days war happens, it keeps guns pointed on Isn'treal.
I personally think that Isn'treal is a vassal the US can't completely control. The US can always give them money and try to direct their army towards US enemies, but they can't get them to stop the genocide when they're on the warpath. So the US has to keep supporting them, because if they don't they will lose all influence on Isn'treal and the ME as a whole. This is another contradiction.
