For it being such a huge political tool it is pretty lame. No abundant source of oil. Nothing much of value. Why should I give a damn enough to want to keep them around more than other countries that are constantly threatened with violence?

What do you care for other than yourself?
 
The question that should be answered first is are you capable of caring?
 
Other countries have better tech and better hotties. Neither is a reason to single them out in support the way we do.

America helped create the state of Israel and is more responsible for that nation as we did help put it there and did agree to help defend it at its inception.
 
Because that gets expensive. The amount of money we give to Israel each year is huge.

Besides we don't like them all.

Okay, allocation of funds is different from caring. But a lot of that is based on the fact that we have treaties and agreements that we have to honor.

I could understand if it had just happened and the nazis were still going strong but it happened before the lifetime of most people in our country and theirs. They have their own military force even their own atomic bombs. Why should we give them preferential treatment over other countries like Somalia.

One could argue we've given more for Somalia than Israel.

But politicians don't make campaign promises about Somalia or how there opponet is no friend of Somalia. Or even that we will defend Somalia if attacked no matter what. Israel gets special treatment for no worthwhile reason.

It is the center of the Judeo/Christian religion which accounts for roughly 85 or 90% of this country. You might think that's not worthwhile but any politician is going to disagree.

And no one gave a damn between when the crusades ended and the holocaust. It is a small patch of sand with little to no value.

And we honor the son of god by supplying the land he came from with bombs and tanks and nuclear weapons. I am Jesus would approve.

Lots of people gave a damn. The Turks certainly did.
To say it has no value is incredibly stupid. It holds a tremendous amount of value for everyone in the region.
