    Help me understand something - how exactly does US interests benefit from Israel? We have a relationship with the Saudi’s (honestly I don’t know what’s worse), we buy tons of oil (we make tons of oil too), and they all know we will absolutely resort to bullying and violence if need be, so what exactly is the benefit? Fighting off poor freedom fighter Arabs?

    I’m trying to figure out if it isn’t all just part of the Christian death cult or if there actually is some sort of strategic benefit. We have plenty of bases all over the middle east (I don’t actually know anyone stationed in Israel or have ever heard such a thing, unless it’s some black site which i assume exists)
