Seriously, why is the USA supporting Israel? (lemmy.world)

The US is supporting Israel through what we can mostly all agree is a genocide of the Gazans. Clearly, Biden isn't a genocidal maniac, yet he's all in with unwavering support. Why are we doing this? There has to be a logical reason that isn't just "we want Israel to kill everyone in Gaza and take their land a la lebensraum."

We know this is an emotional topic, so please be respectful of each other so that we can have open and clear authentic discussion on the matter.

You know how abused children grow up and often repeat their trauma on children, grandchildren, etc? That's Israel. The never again mental mentality means the state of Israel is literally repeating everything that happened to 1930s and 40s Jews. I'm waiting for IDF to start building large incinerators in northern gaza. And it's not hyperbole or exaggeration. Just look at the slow steady push of Gazans to the south and the destruction and deaths.
