A humanitarian aid official who attended the meeting said Grande noted that Israel is one in a “tight circle of very few allies” that the U.S. will not oppose, nor will it “hold anything back that they want.”

    What stability though? They’ve been there since being established after WW2 and it’s been an extremely volatile region the entire time.

    It would at least be a Faustian bargain if they were doing horrible atrocities but that’s just the price you pay for the Middle East being a peaceful and stable area of the world… but the Middle East has been in crisis for my entire life, so what am I missing?

    Also America has the ability to project its power in the region without Israel, so what exactly is there to gain?

      Stability doesn’t mean “peace” it means “things don’t get worse.” And I think we both know that things could be A LOT worse.
