I talk about it like it’s a big far off thing, but this is a very normal sort of political position in the US. The reason why the US supports Israel is because older, more religious, American want Jesus to come back and by supporting “the Israelites“ they believe they are contributing to that.
Israel was founded not even 100 years ago as an apartheid ethnostate, on land that was already inhabited by the Palestinians. Ever since then, the Israeli government has enacted a widespread genocide against the Palestinian people which includes destroying infrastructure, targeting civilians, withholding aid, targeting food and medicine, torturing prisoners, and more. And Israel wants to expand their territory even further, so they have been using this tactics in Lebanon and Iran now.
