Oh my! Are we going to get into Sephardic vs Ashkenazi Jews in Israeli policy? Zionism vs rationalism? It is interesting to listen to US politicians expound on why unquestioning support of Israel is vital.
Some actually admit that it is because they believe that Israel can trigger Armageddon, and thus bring about the end of the world, so they can gloat over those not "saved".
Others say that the land belongs to Israel because the book written by those living in Israel says so.
So the US helps them with nuclear weapons. What could possibly go wrong? How could a nation known for hot-headed overreaction to the slightest provocation possibly impact world peace (or the pursuit thereof)?
