It amazes me that no-one ever seems to say (not that I have seen, at least)…Isreal is a western, democratic state with nuclear weapons in the middle east.
It’s basically a major power base for the west in the predominantly arab part of the world.
Anything else is a side arguement as far as I’m concerned.
Well yeah but why would the US quibble over the strength of their democracy? It’s a western, pseudo-democratic state with nuclear weapons in the middle east.
This is the only explanation that spans parties and ideologies. Loosing this foothold would be detrimental to regional military and diplomatic influence.

Israel is an Apartheid state not a Democracy. Please don’t spread lies.

What apartheid are they committing? Is Palestine not its own democracy?

The US has something like 18 bases in the middle east. Israel is not a strategic asset in any way, shape, or form.
Isn’t the current government on extended time? That’s not a very democratic thing.
Anyway, when Iran was quickly moving to become a democracy, the US wasn’t supporting them.
They have nukes but other than that we have better allies and better democracies in the region.
