As an American myself, I’ve asked several people this question. No one seems to know why either. Is it strategic position in the world? I don’t think they have anything the US can exploit besides that really. Am I missing something? Political arguing aside what exactly is the motivation? Thanks for any explanations.

    The hell is that bullshit. I will not play the game of who is worst although we all know who is . You simply do not become a friend with a settler colonial power trying to exterminate a population of 5 - 6 millions from the land . Your shitty country is already an ally of Saudi arabia too

        Of course you are going to ignore the part where that israel is genociding palestinians for 78 gpddamn year. The west is supporting Israel which is also a religious state because of imperialism and history of colonization that is a fact

            No, I didn’t. I kept focusing on Israel . Keep ignoring that the west support is simply about imperialism and shared history of settler colonialism

                  I highly doubt world leaders and diplomats are high fiving in board rooms talking about their shared love of imperialism and colonialism, and how they feel a special bond because of their nations’ shared history in this respect

                    The last attempt from france for example to coup an african leader was last year in Mali. That’s imperialism. Canadian leaders are constantly trying to breach First Nations rights that’s the continuation of settler colonial policies

                    The point is yes, they are still imperislist countries that’s why they support Israel
