He supports Israel because it is the hub of US power projection in the Middle East.

How is that not a political reason?

Exactly, it’s not that he, personally, wants to slaughter millions of Arabs, it’s just that that’s the price we have to pay to preserve the American ability to slaughter millions of other Arabs in the future.

It’s politics in the sense that war is politics by another means, but that’s not really what people associate with the word. If you want to take it that far, there isn’t much that couldn’t be called politics.

“Biden supports Israel because it gets the first lady horny”. Well, that’s just marriage politics!

Meh israel does not provide any security anymore. If anything they make the region less secure and unified against America.

Saudi is bending over backwards to keep supporting israel for America.

No disrespect meant, but that is a factually ignorant statement to make. We regular people don’t see allot of whats going on in the background.
