Answer 1

The United States may regard Israel as its primary ally in the Middle East, based on "common democratic values, religious affinities, and security interests". Their bilateral relations are multidimensional and the United States is the principal proponent of the Arab-Israeli peace process.

Answer 2

Israel is one of the US's largest allies. The two countries have also recently strengthened these ties greater, and will most likely support each other at any cost (at an exaggeration). The US and Israel are allies because the two share similar culture and history, the US has a large Israeli/Jewish population, the US was a major player for Israeli/Jewish support during times such as WWII, etc.

Answer 1

because we defeated the Nazis who hated the Jews and after the war was over we needed an ally in the region we love the Jews!

Answer 2

Implicit in the question is the idea that the United States supports Israel, but does not support other Arab States. This not the case as the United States supports both Israel, Egypt, and Palestine. The United States also has a strong relationship with Jordan. The United States is also prepared to support and aide any Arab country (like Egypt and Jordan) that is willing to trade violence and antagonism for peace.

The United States support for the State of Israel is the strongest and comes from a variety of sources. Israel has cooperated with the United States on diplomatic issues, military and intelligence exchanges, large amounts of trade, and significant technological investment. In addition, there a numerous Americans who support the State of Israel because of religious convictions on top of the already-listed reasons.

Egypt is the second-largest individual recipient of American Aid (after Israel) and this money has gone to fund the Egyptian Army primarily as well as infrastructure maintenance. Given the corruption in the Mubarak Regime, not much of this money trickled down to Egyptian commoners, but it was there. The United States maintains a strategic alliance with Egypt also on account of the Suez Canal which sees most of the Persian Gulf oil-tankers pass through.

The United States is the largest donor to UNRWA, the UN organization maintaining the Palestinian Refugee Camps, and is one of the largest donors to the Palestinian Authority, the current official government of Palestine. The United States has consistently endorsed a Roadmap to Peace with a Two-State Solution since the Oslo Accords in 1993.

Answer 3

Answer

Because all Israel wants to do is keep their freedom and their country, but other coutries want to take it over and bomb it. Plus, the US is in the war as a peace keeper.

Answer

The US was the first country to recognise the State of Israel in 1948. There is a sizable Jewish population in the US, Jews have been part of the population since the early days of the US but this increased significantly towards the end of the 19th century when Jews fled European persecution. There is a major Jewish vote and influence in US politics deriving from a highly politicised community. The Jewish voters have the highest % participant in voting of any ethnic or religious group in the US. The Jewish population numbers around 6 1/2 million (roughly around the same size as Israel), Jews account for about 2% of the US population yet deliver 15% of the Senators. The key States in electing the President all have significant Jewish populations. Prominent Jewish Americans include the last two Chairman of the Federal Reserve.

Answer 2

Jews and Evangelical Christians, both of whom are strong supporters of the State of Israel are situated in key demographic areas whereas Palestinian supporters are in less politically contentious regions of the United States. This results in politicians being more wary of changing their policy on Israel (all else equal). The same reason applies to the US position on Cuba and the locations of Cuban Americans.

Answer 3

Many Americans believe that America should support a country whose values of democracy, freedom of expression, protection of minorities, reasonable punishments, etc. should be the type of regime around the world that America should support and maintain alliances with. This is why the United States has strong alliances with Europe, Japan, South Korea, Australia, and Israel.

Should the US stop funding Israel and make them pay their own bills?

No. The AID to Israel is as helpful for the US as it is for Israel. The question of US funding in Israel is primarily for military hardware. The US does not provide economic aid to Israel. First, the US Aid to Israel makes up about 0.03% of the US GDP. To put that in perspective, it would pay for around a week in Iraq or half-a-day of Social Security. Additionally, 80% of the money earmarked for Israel can only be spent by Israel on US-produced weapons. This means that the money appropriated for Israel mostly goes to support US firms and US jobs, making it a win-win for both Israel and the US. This is aside from the fact that numerous recent technological innovations in both military and civilian technology have come to the US from Israel, providing economic gains that more than offset the remaining 20%.

Why doesn't the US become allies with Palestine?

The US will not become allies with Palestine because the US is a very strong ally of Israel. Israel and Palestine have been constantly feuding over land in the area and many lives have been lost as a result. This is why Palestine is also not a member of the United Nations. Even though they have applied for membership more than once, they have always been vetoed by the US because the US and Israel are close allies. This is also why Iran and the US have bad relations, as Iran and Israel are enemies and are on the brink of nuclear war. Many Western nations side with Israel on matters as well, which is why almost all of Western Europe does not recognize Palestine as a country (as neither does the US).


Did the US provide Israel with nuclear weapons?

No, Israel designed their own.
