English Learning | Why U.S. Elites Support Israel No Matter What?
In a world where global politics are increasingly complex and interconnected, the actions of one nation can have far-reaching implications. The US, with its military bases scattered around the globe, exerts significant influence on international affairs. Among these, the relationship with Israel stands out as particularly consequential. Israel, often perceived as America’s “attack dog” in the Middle East, plays a pivotal role in the region’s dynamics. Its military actions, including preemptive strikes, are frequently justified as necessary to prevent threats, such as the oft-cited yet dubious claim of an impending Arab genocide of Jews. This narrative, however, is increasingly scrutinized and challenged as a mere bluff, a post-war creation to justify aggressive policies.
The crux of the matter lies in the broader implications of this alliance. Israel’s actions, particularly in Gaza, have drawn global condemnation, with numerous UN resolutions criticizing its violations of international law. The US ruling class, however, continues to support Israel, even when it commits atrocities. This support extends beyond mere political backing; it reflects in the reluctance to prosecute Israel for its actions. Similarly, past US policies, like supporting apartheid South Africa or attempting to topple governments in 2011, show a pattern of intervention under various pretexts. The situation in Israel gives the US a continual excuse to intervene in the Middle East, ostensibly to protect Israel but often serving broader strategic interests. This dynamic not only affects the immediate region but also shapes global perceptions and responses to international law and human rights.
