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.
Well the UK actually started it with the Balfour Declaration and a Rothschild (perhaps unsurprisingly) before WW2.
I also assumed we were talking about today not in 1917, and idk what blackmail they may or may not have been using back then.
My point was poorly communicated sorry. I was getting at how we helped set up Mossad between 49 and 51, and have not stopped. Since it’s founding we have supported them financially, we have freely shared research and data with them that we do not share with anybody else (one way, it’s not reciprocal), we have peddled their propaganda across the world and our own country, we allowed them to lobby our government despite it being illegal and not allowing any other country to do so in an open official capacity (yes, AIPAC started in 1954…and weirdly the first president that called it out had an unfortunate accident).
Ah I see. Well like I said idk what blackmail they may or may not have been historically using, but as for why we’re still doing it I stand by my answer. I’m willing to bet that a portion of it was sympathy for the holocaust at a certain point and then blackmail took over, but that still doesn’t explain pre-'30s zionist support from the UK (like the aforementioned Balfour Declaration).
