"Were there not an Israel, the United States would have to invent an Israel to protect her interests in the region."
-- Joe Biden
Israel is good for 2 things, as far as 60% of Congress is concerned: destabilizing Muslim countries to prevent a strong coalition from forming, and donating money to US politicians. What's a little genocide in the face of that?
That's far too generous. At the very most, 10% of congress is on the right side of history when it comes to America's favorite fascist apartheid regime.
The public in general is closer to 65-35 the opposite direction.
That may be true, but only 60% of congress is receiving Israeli bribes. Hence the number I chose.
Again, overly generous. Almost all of them are either receiving bribes from them or running against someone who is in both primary and general elections. 60% is hella optimistic.
60% is hella optimistic.
It's hyperbolic, actually. According to opensecrets.org, the actual number is only 52.5%. Of course, I'm sure that there's some back-room deals that aren't recorded publicly, and so the number is higher than that. 60% seems like a good, round, umbrella-like figure.
Israel is an Islamic hate sponge that allows US huge force projection within the ME.
