Why do Americans seem to follow Israel’s lead so often?

[MovieNight]

Is it because of business influence, media power, or something deeper?

[Syntosi]

Its a complicated assortment of corruption such as the AIPAC trying to court literally every single US politician all at once, including offering them luxury free vacations to Israel, to the fact that there is a lot of arguments to be made for supporting Israel as a US puppet in the middle east and everything in between. While there might be one reason for one person to hold this biased view of Israel such as the religious belief among some Christians that Israels rise is required for their doomsday prophecy, it is truly a position where a million and one different reasons coincidentally and sometimes intentionally converge.

You will have more luck understanding it on a case by case basis on why a single person follows Israel rather than why everyone appears to converge on it.

But to try give some scope of what you are going to find, it is truly a case of "everything". Corruption, economic interest, religion, historical sympathy for Jews, trauma, etc... I can literally go on for hours.

Most Americans are part of Israel. How could Americans not support themselves?

United States

Protestant Christian 46.5%, Roman Catholic 20.8%, Jewish 1.9%, other Christian 0.9%

Because we are ideologically similar (democratic with equality), than muslim nations that tend to be harbors for terrorists that want to kill us. Common sense bruh.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Girl, you think the people control our government? Nah, that’s not how it works.

Bribery and blackmail is why Israel owns U. S. legislators. AIPAC hands out $millions to politicians. You saw how Israel tried to buy Charlie Kirk. And Israel holds dirt (Epstein-like stuff) on politicians. You either play ball with Israel or you're done.

because both sides of politics is controlled by Zionists

on the Left, Zionists pump out feminist, LGBTQIAP+, abortion and climate change propaganda to destroy the Right

on the Right, Zionists use Holocaust victimhood and religion to maintain safety from the Left

Because we’re allies. They’re the strongest military in the Middle East and they’re highly suspected of having nukes and I believe they do. The Middle East is the most unstable region on the globe and very strategic location for the USA. We have to be in the region to keep sea lanes open for trade and for Americas vital national interests

Bc of the deep state, nephew u wouldn’t understand. 😉👍

I’ve followed the question I’m curious to see how the experts will interpret it.

[Staximus]

We have a huge missile base in Israel and permanent military installations. Israel is our stepping stone to the Middle East and controlling Middle Eastern oil.

[Staximus]

We have a shitload of ships and planes there too

[Staximus]

Navy ships and Air Force planes

[blackeagle007]

Controlling oil? Why are prices $3 a gallon then?

[Staximus]

@blackeagle007 it's about $7.50 a gallon in Europe

[blackeagle007]

No matter where you go it’s high. Something is making it so

[loveslongnails]

Have you spoken to the average American, especially in red states? Not the sharpest tools in the shed.

[exitseven]

They are both democracies and are close allies. Their agendas are similar.

[beefcakebradybatson]

Guilt because of the American Governmental inaction leading up to the Holocaust which cost so many Jewish lives.

[blackeagle007]

It is the only democracy in that region.

[msc545]

Israel has most of the $$$$

[In_Trance]

So often? More like all the time
