The US is more willing to assist Israel than itself, no money for relief after tornadoes and hurricanes but we make sure Israelis get free healthcare?
For the same reason active duty troops get free healthcare. All of this is explained by viewing Israel as an unsinkable Aircraft Carrier permanently parked right next to all of Amerikkk’s biggest enemies. They’re integral to the US oil empire and at this point the Empire has no choice but to funnel resources there despite worsening home conditions.
This would make more sense to me if Israel was in fact parked right next to America’s biggest enemies and not surrounded by its allies who are begging to be closer allies of Israel will just stop
Why do you need an “Unsinkable aircraft carrier” when you have Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon and Saudi Arabia all full of US military bases and happy to work with us?
In practice we don’t even make much use of our military position in Israel, because it pisses off everyone when we do, so we use those bases in Egypt, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia way more.
Israel exists like aircraft carriers in the sense that their purpose is power projection and causing instability in a region to due US pressure. America thrives by exploiting crises, and they try their best to engineer them in advance, Israel is one tool in that.

Exactly right, they’re driving these countries to align closer to US interests because essentially then Israel and by extension the US is less of a wildcard. Additionally, they’re located close enough to provide other strike options that may not be as easily possible by the other means available to the US military for targets such as Iran and Yemen

Having a few contested military bases and some tenuous alliances is much worse than having a colonization project that depends on your support for its continued existence, there is much more leverage in that situation. Another point that isreal is armed with nukes and their stated use position is the Samson Option, something that plays a great role in keeping the middle east and europe aligned with us interests.
That’s not even getting into how Israel is tied into and vital to the Military Industrial Complex as both a large customer and testing ground for new technologies.
I’m probably not the best to be explaining this, lol.
