One thing i’ve struggled to find is a good reason for support of Israel. From the general public I mean, not from politicians who just keep using the grift but actual American citizens. For the life of me i can’t think of a single reason anyone in north america gives two shits about the middle east at all, much less support and quote the tired “muh greatest ally” crap. Where did the push for this come from? How did it start? Was it newspaper propaganda slowly inserting it to where the normies simply accepted it to be truth? Was it something they drilled into you in grade school and it never got questioned later?

Ignoring the entire jew angle for a moment here, greatest ally for what? What help has ever been given to get this title? FRANCE I can see as America’s best ally after the help in the revolutionary war of independence, the whole gifting of the statue of liberty etc. but what has Israel ever done? We know about the U.S.S. Liberty, we know they did espionage for nuclear weapon tech, they don’t exactly keep the middle east secure and quiet and keep the muslims in check at all. Just WHAT is the deal?

Im early 40’s, and have yet to see anything positive in regards to Israel (or the middle East in general to be honest) to the point where i might not even grunt in affirmation to hear that the whole region is now a glowing ocean crater(fiery but mostly peaceful nuclear protest you see). Those who grew up when support for Israel was being pushed, what did you see to cause this?
