The past week has shown humanity at its worst: A horrific terrorist attack left at least 1,300 Israelis dead, among them peace activists and even innocent children. The fates of many more kidnapped civilians still lie in the balance. Meanwhile, statements from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu suggest retaliation…
Honestly the popular support from the people who can’t point to Israel on a map is religious.
The governmental support definitely is not based on religion. The US makes semiconductor tech there and Israel is one giant front-line fortress for us. Israel is the Middle Eastern outpost analog to all of the East Asian allies who are littered with US military bases.
My parents and my entire family only support Israel because the Bible says “If Israel falls the world ends”. It’s all the religious right cares about which is a very large part of the US. All of these are just my opinion and i love constuctive conversation. It’s really a massive mix of things and just for me to minimize it to religion isnt exactly right.
