Which are the benfits? Please as a non American western i fail to understand how “having an ally” in the area (as israel is the only viable option) benefits américa in anyway
When the U.S. gives military aid to Israel, the Israeli government is not putting that money in its pocket. The vast majority of the money that the U.S. allocates to Israel each year must be spent on American weapons. That is true, in general, for American military aid to other countries, such as Ukraine.
Those American weapons that Israel purchases are produced in factories across the U.S. So, many American lawmakers have an interest in sustaining that aid because that money ends up flowing into their own states and providing local jobs.
They use taxpayer money to give business to the defense contractors that they’ve invested in. It’s a kickback, to themselves.
Ever heard of oil
The US doesn’t benefit, but a few privately owned corporations and a handful of already way too wealthy monsters benefit.
But since they own the US government, it doesn’t really matter if the other 99.998% of people in the US, plus 100% of Palestinians suffer.

Oh well if we’re benefiting from the genocide then alright. /s
You could give the aid to ukraine and benefit the MIC just the same
US is evil, yes, we’ve known
Palestinians have been offered a state countless times. The Arab and Iranian Muslims that fund Hamas’ terrorism won’t be happy until everyone is dead or a Muslim.
It’s 2024 why are we supporting religious terrorists?
Its 2024, why are we supporting ethnic cleansing?
Why do Christians and Muslims want to wipe all the Jews from the earth?
You hasbara trolls are so sad. Keep trying, the world has woken up, free Palestine and fuck the genocidal settler colonial apartheid entity.
Of all the genocides being committed across the world today most are being committed by Muslims in Africa and Southeast Asia. They only have one tiny bit of the Middle East and that’ll take care of most of the ethnic diversity left in the region.
Why do you all love the infitada so much?
“Offered a state”
Yeah sure thing dude. As long as they don’t control their border with Egypt, right?
Well Harris’ campaign promise is that Americas going to have the strongest, most lethal fighting force in the world.
So, yeah the genocide will continue.
U.S. Politicians, especially on the right, will always support Israel because, even if they don’t realize it, there’s bigotry involved. Israel is the one country in the Middle East that’s “like us” and not run by those scary swarthy Muslims. They don’t love that it’s run by Jews, but Jews are closer in their mind to “normal” than Muslims. Muslims, especially after 9/11, are no longer trustworthy to American politicians. It doesn’t matter that 99.999% of them have no interest in attacking the U.S., they’re all the enemy. And Israel, to them, is the lone light in fighting that enemy.
It’s some sick shit that even plenty of them would realize was sick if they took two seconds to think about it. Which they don’t.
Americans have to tell themselves that america and it’s proxies “the good ones” because any sober assessment would shatter their world view and require them to stop doing all the evil shit that they do.
It’s why those pathetic cowards leaving the DNC had to cover their ears rather than hear the names of their victims.
They’ll support Israel because the way we do it is another of the many infinite money hacks our MIC has created and entrenched deep into our politics. I really dislike this American trend to racialize the conflict. In virtually every way, Palestinians and Israelis, and Jews in general for that matter, are pretty indistinguishable but for small differences in otherwise very similar ethnic and religious cultures. Jewish culture, even across the diaspora, has been pretty clearly a Levantine originating one forever (not to mention the far deeper similarities between Judaism as a religion and Islam than between either and Christianity).
American taxpayer dollars get recycled into the pockets of the military industrial complex and it’s investors. Death and destruction are America’s primary exports
Tale as old as time
Completely right.
When the U.S. gives military aid to Israel, the Israeli government is not putting that money in its pocket. The vast majority of the money that the U.S. allocates to Israel each year must be spent on American weapons.
The logic of this only works when companies that produce these weapons pockets the money and gives some it back to bribe politicians for deals like this and to cut their taxes.
They are taking billions of our tax money and giving it to companies in a loophole so the process isn’t directly stealing from us.
Israel is also bribing our politicians. Our two-party political system is so corrupt it makes me sick to my stomach even thinking about it.
Obviously not, Palestinians need some American freedom…
