    This is one of the recent reasons why the US supports the state of Israel, but it is on top of many more historical reasons. Don’t get me wrong I don’t mean justifiable ones.

    For instance: Zionism, British imperial rule exercising its power and then loosing it, wanting a foot in west Asia because the were trying to establish democratic institutions in the 60’s-70’s, to name just a few

      All true, but the evangelical right don’t care about that, that’s all neocon power games and European stuff. The power driving how the admin behaves has nothing to do with longterm geopolitical thinking and everything to do with racialized religious intolerance, property deals, and people literally praying for the end of the world.
