U.S.-Israel Relations and Support
The strong support of the United States for Israel is articulated as being essential for regional stability and U.S. interests. Prominent figures emphasize that without Israel, the U.S. would need to create one to safeguard its interests in the Middle East. There is a belief that empowering Israel to defend itself is paramount, underlining a continuous military and financial backing from the U.S. to Israel, amounting to billions in aid, especially during conflicts in Gaza. This backing is justified through an assertion that Israel is a crucial ally in combating perceived adversaries in the region.
