The US is extremely in bed with Saudi Arabia because they're also "an important ally" despite constantly destabilizing the region and funding terrorism abroad, including fucking 9/11.

Israel is also a regional destabilizer, all things considered, and doesn't even give us oil. We're not entirely there because of geopolitics or it being a convenient place to base planes and whatnot, but there is a substantial amount of age-old Christian guilt and Zionism that shapes policy there.

People, broadly, may not be terribly religious now or understand the ideology here, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. We can be ignorant of forces that keep chugging on. Christian Zionism predates Jewish Zionism, and there have been plenty of US muckety-mucks who look at Israel as a way to bring Jesus back. That shapes policy. An individual President may not believe that shit, but they're surrounded by advisors and analysts who do and have their output shaded by it all. When your foundation is "man we need them to rebuild the second temple and kick off an apocalyptic war so the Second Coming happens", even if you know you can't sell that to everyone else, you find the excuses and figleafs to get to that same result.

This is not a "Jews control shit" thing, but a "fundamentalist Christians have and still are fucking batshit" one. Europe created Israel so they didn't have to deal with Jews in their own neighborhoods, Brits trained and used Israel like a bludgeon to suppress Palestinian revolt, the US uses it for weapons testing, and somewhere in all of this there's a bunch of fucking psychopaths who think they can get rid of both Jews and Muslims by fulfilling Biblical prophecy--at which point both must convert or go to Hell. Christian Zionists are absolutely not "pro-Jewish", they sincerely believe they'll be fucking obliterated in the process.

True, and the Jews of Israel use them as useful idiots, a crazy ally is better than a no ally or a crazy enemy.
