Jews continue GENOCIDE of Palestinians

Why is it you never see peace marches in the streets? Its always death, destruction and hatred marches. I think that is why they voted in a terrorist group to represent them, because they dont want peace.

Serious question here. Why is the US so beholden to Israel? I mean, the official reason. Not necessarily the true one, but what is it that 'they' (we) tell others (or ourselves) as to why?

What we tell other people: is that we are committed to Israel survival as a Jewish state.
(Even though they are now superior to most of their neighbors militarily they are still the underdog because everyone (Arabs mostly) want to see them wiped of the earth. Without US support they would eventually be wiped out financially and physically.)
The real reason: U.S. foreign policy is motivated primarily (and always has been) to advance its own perceived strategic interests. With Israel as an ally we have a strong presence in the area in case we need to take someone out quickly like Iran. We never do anything because we are Mr. Nice guy, never have.
Hope that helps

More on the real reason... By supporting chaos in the region, the U.S. keeps the situation ripe for potential exploitation at any time. See The Shock Doctrine.

But why? Why is it our responsibility or concern? Especially given your parenthetical.

Yeah, I get that......I was just wondering what it is we tell others (ourselves) to justify it.
Thanks :seg2:
