ELI5: Why does America help and support Israel so much?
gpt
1. Highly organized and well-funded political backing from pro-Israeli groups (AIPAC, et. al.), and a lack of similar political backing from pro-Palestinian groups.

2. An undercurrent of apocalyptic Christianity in certain political groups in the U.S. that believes the existence of Israel is a requirement for the second coming of Christ.

3. A continuing belief in the U.S. that the Jews need require some form of reparation for the Holocaust, and that support of Israel constitutes such reparation.
