As an American myself, I’ve asked several people this question. No one seems to know why either. Is it strategic position in the world? I don’t think they have anything the US can exploit besides that really. Am I missing something? Political arguing aside what exactly is the motivation? Thanks for any explanations.
You forgot the part where Christian fundamentalist believe Israel is one of the key components to triggering God’s apocalypse. They think it’ll send the world and rapture them into heaven. Never mind that is such a thing were real, that’s not where their own handbook says they’re going.
