Especially the Israel lobby which includes the fanatic Christian Zionists
What happened to the Brits, not to mention all the collateral damage, should be a sign that getting involved in this region is toxic. If the Levantine peoples want to fight, let ‘em do it by themselves.
Besides AIPAC, the main reason the West, especially the Anglosphere, is so interested in supporting Israel is Christian Zionism, a weird heresy based on some unorthodox interpretation of the Bible. Just goes to show how fringe ideas can cause genuine suffering.
