Comment on Why is the US so into Israel?

I think it’s a generational thing. After WW2 and the Holocaust there was support for a Jewish homeland. And of course you couldn’t be seen as antisemitic. So the silent generation supported Israel, and the boomers still impacted by post WW2 inherited it. But the next generation is questioning why exactly.
In addition I think the Christians see it as a crusade, whether they use that word or not, and hide it behind all sorts of reasons.

The fact that the West does not provide “guilt-based” support to African nations and India that they devastated shows that the idea of the Holocaust being the reason for the support of Israel is bullshit. A small faction of the victims of the past should not be allowed to do atrocities to another population

Should not, but I think it does.
And do I really have to say why the West doesn’t care about Africa?

Why they care about a faction from former victims to become the agressors and the same time not caring about other victims which are the african country?
