Geopolitics doesnt change because someone was mean. Its all about power and influence. Isreal is key for enacting and protecting American interests in the region. Whats happening in Palestine hurts in the short term but I think average people will forget about it in a year and the US foreign policy will be business as usual. Its brutal to think about but I cant see it going any other way, most of the people upset by whats going on had never heard about gaza before oct 7th.
- nujabe 1y agoThere is absolutely nothing critical to US national security that Israel can provide the United States. When you say “protecting American interests” what you really mean is protecting Israeli interests. America has no national security interest in Israeli settlement expansion in West Bank, Gaza & southern Syria. The intelligence Israel does provide the US is related to conflicts & terrorist groups that wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for Israel itself. Literally all the Middle East countries host US military bases and are puppet states of the US anyway so I don’t see how Israel provides any value. “Israel is an albatross around America’s neck” - John Mearsheimer https://youtu.be/dqeGW4G_Bmo?si=D5ZiURk4IzFRwiIN https://youtu.be/dqeGW4G_Bmo?si=D5ZiURk4IzFRwiIN
