    Doubt he believes it. There’s money and quiet conversation happening. People are never as dumb as we think they are

      Israel has been at the center of the U.S. plan to keep middle east power dynamics at least somewhat under U.S. influence. Even leaders who have no strong allegiance to a Jewish heritage still value having a western allegiant state in the center of it all.

      It’s really hard to predict what would happen if Israel ever lost the backing of the U.S. and European nations. I think that’s the main reason for Biden continuing the legacy of emphatically supporting Israel. As horrific as the action of the IDF are, things could get a lot worse if broader tensions escalated to armed conflicts.
