The US gives Israel billions of dollars every year:https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel–United_States_relatio...
The US treats Israel like an intelligence/military base in the Middle East. Why wouldn't you support your soldiers?A bonus is that Israel is still a sovereign nation and if it for example bombs Syrian nuclear reactors, the United States has zero responsibility. Which can leave the US to pursue détente with any country it likes, regardless the Israel protest.A nations power is measured not only in its military capabilities but in its allies. The US has many, many allies but not that many <i
not sure why the USA love Israel so much
It seems US is more keen on being a good ally to Israel than doing what's right.
Without support from the USA, it would not be possible for Israel to defend itself. Much of their spying on the USA is not to harm the USA, but to ensure the USA is still on their side. I don't think they want to hurt the USA, but I do think they would support an opponent of a politician that had been "heard" expressing a lack of interest in financial and military support for Israel.
Israel can do no wrong because USA.
Israel gets $3.8 billions worth of weapons and other military equipment every year from the US because of its vital strategic importance. If someone messes with them that would be just like messing with an US state abroad; probably nobody would want to test that possibility.
Yes, but please understand that the government of USA has a bias in favor of Israel that it needs to uphold. Why do you hate America and Freedom(TM)?
The US provides substantial financial, military, and political aid to Israel, that it does not provide to Germany.
That’s over simplifying it. but it’s not aid, more like strategic interests aligned. For example the U.S. aid prevented Israel from continuing development and selling its own fighter jets. It gives U.S. arms actual military exposure in dense urban warfare. There’s lots of joint benefits here.
