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.
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).
