is there a genuine structural reason why we (seemingly) just cannot stop sending weapons to israel, do they have too much leverage against the US or some shit or do we actually just like boming brown kids

I would maybe advise against thinking some random small country in the middle east has any sort of "leverage" against the most powerful nation-state in the history of the planet. Like, anything Israel does is fully supported by the US, because to them having a nuclear ally in the region outweighs any concerns about genocide or war crimes.

(Plus y'know it's not like fundamentalist evangelical christians *dislike* having Jewish folks and Muslims die by the thousands, right?)
