    I think the US’s support of Isreal is 3-fold. First, it is a safe harbor for the US to extend its might in the Middle East. Second, its probably a conflating of Judism with racism. If the chant is “Why can’t the blacks go back to Africa?”, then it is also “Why can’t the Jews go back to Isreal?”. Finally, there’s the religious nuts with their suicide-cult / end times bullshit related to Jews and Isreal.

      Yep. I agree. But the first of which that you listed is the one with the strongest material interests fueling it. As a leftist I see the world based first and foremost by these material incentives that influence which ideologies are used to justify them.

      The reason that the christian end times bull shitters are allowed to thrive is because their ideas align with the imperialist interest. If, they believed the exact same thing, but it was in conflict with the imperialist interests in it’s material goals, it would never be as big as it is in the conservative base. It’s allowed to thrive and grow because it aligns.

      Which is why we’ll see that ideology morph and justify Jewish hatred, while at the same time, still support Israel as an ethnostate.
