Seriously, why is the USA supporting Israel?
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.

This alliance allows the US to maintain a stronger foothold in the Middle East and exert hegemonic power via proxy.
This isn't the only reason, of course, but it's part of it.
Read a lot of answers and yours is succinct.

The rest was true but this one is complete BS
That and Israel wouldn't hesitate a second before switching sides and allying with Russia and/or China.
It also allows Israel and other relugional institutions to influence US politics.
Who is the hegemon, the vassal or the collector?
