    America does. America has, for years, had a vested interest in Israel being a forward base for its interests. You think America is getting nothing out of all those guns it sends to Israel?

      That is more or less just support for the weapons industry in the US itself. But they are sending them to Israel in particular because Israel does things for them in the region. Those things that America has a vested interest in do not include the Gaza strip, the US couldn’t care less what a bunch of poor people do in a region without strategic resources. Anything the US does related to the Gaza strip are things they do for Israel in exchange for other things Israel does for them.
