What does the US have to gain from supporting Israel?

Answer 1

so they are extra protected from war

The US is allied with Israel because:

1. Both countries have a vast number of nuclear missiles

2. Both countries hate Iran, China, and Russia (all which have missiles)

3. Israel is the only non Islamic dominated country in the Middle East (most Muslims hate Americans)

Answer 2

The United States gains a sphere of influence both military and economic in a strategic region of the Middle East. In general, Israel is a voice of support for most US actions, particularly in the UN.

In addition to the strong trade and military relationships, many Americans support Israel for Biblical reasons, believing Israel to be the holy land. The Old Testament, followed by both Judaism and Christianity, teaches that those who bless Israel will be blessed and those who curse Israel will be cursed.

Also, by supporting Israel, America gains stability and a sense of control in the Middle East. Nations that might otherwise attack Israel think twice when they know that they could face retribution from the US.

However, America also gain a share of responsibility for any actions that Israel takes, or positions that Israel and its politicians espouse. Although Israel is often a focus of attacks that might otherwise be focused on other nations, often groups attempt to target the power supporting Israel, which is the US.

Answer 3

The US supports Israel for political, strategic, and economic reasons. Israel is a key ally in the Middle East, sharing intelligence and military capabilities with the US. Additionally, supporting Israel helps advance US interests in the region and maintains stability.
