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.

    profit, corruption, and the genuine belief that they need to protect Israel in order to go to heaven.

    these are the same people that believe god has already determined exactly how they die so they can do anything - if they didn’t die, it was god’s plan.

    they also believe god meant for the existence of poor people. blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth (while the rich and famous go to heaven)

      Which is extra funny when you remember that Jesus explicitly stated that rich people don’t get into heaven.
