Of a different nation that may or may not bomb our other allies

Israel is our satrap and the knife we use to hold Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, and Iran in check.

We're protecting them because they're our made men. They launder our money, extort our allies, smuggle our weapons, and do a fair bit of our covert assassination and sabotage. That's when they aren't straight up doing terrorist bombings on our behalf.

Why would we not want to defend a nation fully on our payroll for all the most miserable and horrific rolls of an empire?

Israel is basically their surveillance, intelligence and weapons testing branch where they can do some heinous shit without repercussions.

It lines up perfectly with yankistanis national interests if you've not been under a rock.

Israel first policy always.

It is amazing what having video of politicians of both parties and Business Leaders fucking underage girls can do for your support in that country.
