Would be really helpful if explained in Marxist terms, especially whether first world capital/superprofits are diverted to Israel in amounts not earned by providing services to power, or having Israel around is unprofitable/counterproductive to US aims/interests. Do other countries experience the same?

Everyone has to join the military in Israel and take turns guarding the world's biggest concentration camp, possibly becoming 🔻 in the process. The American troops in Israel also get healthcare, even if it probably sucks, but they don't have to go actively carry out the genocide.

Edit: I think part of the belief stems from an idea that Israel receives capital that is undeserved/could be better put to work elsewhere—ie impoverished US communities. But Louisiana isn't a linchpin of empire, it's a sacrifice zone, and I imagine that if the capital didn't go to Israel it would be used for another form of imperialism, not free healthcare in LA.
