I DON'T GIVE A CRAP WHAT SHE BELIEVES THE HARRY POTTER BOOKS CHANGED MY LIFE #HUFFLEPUFF
I'm in one of those "I've waited too long and now I'm afraid to ask" situations. Can someone explain why exactly the US is so far up the rear end of Israel and defends and supports all their bullshit so uniformly and in lockstep? I have my theories and things I've heard but none of it seems to add up to the sheer brick wall of support for Israel from the US government.

I've posted the studies about it in the Ukraine thread, and there are quite a few books about the IDF that cover this, but armies in prolonged occupations are not good at fighting wars.

Because Israeli is an unofficial 51st state and regional proxy so they treat them accordingly.

The Israel lobby is extremely rich and powerful. There is also an element of racism like anything else in the US.

Resistance News Network posted:

🦁 The Lions’ Den:

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

"Enter upon them through the gate, for when you have entered it, you will be dominant. And upon Allah rely, if you should be believers."

That is the Truth of Allah Almighty.

Allahu Akbar, hasten for Jihad.
Allahu Akbar, hasten for confrontation.
Allahu Akbar, hasten, O men of Allah, O truthful ones.

O sons of Palestine, all of Palestine, it is Gaza of glory, manhood, dignity, and steadfastness. Gaza which did not accept humiliation and fights with the blood of its men, children, women, and elders while the Arab and Islamic nations kneel in shame and disgrace. Gaza, which offers actions, not mere words, the sanctuary of honor, dignity, and resistance.

The Lions’ Den groups invite you tonight, at exactly 11:00, to take to the streets, raising your voices in supplications to Allah for the victory of your men who are currently engaged in the battle of bravery and triumph, with the help of Allah. March forward with all weapons you may have, no matter how simple. Take to the streets, block the roads for the occupation army and its settlers. From you and us [emerge] the chants of "Allahu Akbar." It is upon us to advance on all confrontation points until we infiltrate the heart of the surrounding settlements.

This is the battle of honor and survival. Either we live free or we don't live at all.

Our message to the occupation:
O state of foolishness and empty arrogance, O paper and cardboard security system, Gaza has made you fall in a pit of worldly hell, and you will not leave it except for the hereafter’s hell. We will meet you face to face now, now and not tomorrow, in a way that you never anticipated, us and all the honorable resistance fighters.
As Wadie [Al-Houh] said: The time for talk is over, and action begins. In the name of Allah, we start.

(The talking after 11:00 is only for takbeers and bullets)

Your brothers,
The Lions’ Den groups.

I have my theories and things I've heard but none of it seems to add up to the sheer brick wall of support for Israel from the US government.

part one, they're a longtime regional proxy going back to cold war days, so they're up to their eyeballs in all the usual military/industrial complex "we can't ever stop giving them aid, because if we stopped giving them aid Lockheed Martin's stock price might drop for a quarter second."

part two, there's a bunch of weird evangelical bullshit about how Israel has to be around for the end of days to happen, which the Israel lobby has gleefully made use of for a very long time for inroads among Republicans.

part three, not to put too fine a point on it, New York and Los Angeles are both Democratic as hell and Jewish as hell. meaning there's an awful lot of very powerful Democrats who have spent the past sixty or so years knowing that if they take a position less than unconditional support for Israel they'll be dealing with a primary from someone who will.

part four, the war on terror let them pivot into "we are your eternal allies in the war against the Muslim world," which was great for them while it looked like we were winning, and has left them in a bit of an awkward position now that we have admitted that was a total bust.

some of the reason Israel is going off crazier than usual is that over the last fifteen years American Jews have gone from unconditionally supporting Israel to being a lot more lukewarm on the subject. this has taken support for Israel from "absolutely mandatory" to "you can get away with saying sometimes they do bad things" in Democratic circles. all the military/industrial complex ties and a very well-funded Israel lobby are enough to keep Democrats firmly supportive of them, but as the continued existence of Ilhan Omar demonstrates, it is now possible to not say they get a blank check for everything forever.
