It's a mistake to think the US support for Israel is somehow based on appeasing the tiny minority of voters who are Jewish or the (much larger) portion who are Christian fundamentalists. The hard truth is that even if AIPAC didn't exist, even if no Jews lived in Israel, and even if biblical stories took place in Hoboken, the US would still support Israel. It is simply in US strategic interests to have a Western-ish ally, technology center, and military testbed, in the area. It's kind of like the flip side of why no Arab countries seriously support the Palestinians -- there's nothing in it for them.
I agree with that. Really, israel is the US' 51st state in the middle east, and given its proximity, it's a more "mask off" version of the US which has always been genocidal. The US did kill 4.5-5 million Muslims in the middle east since the first Iraq war according to a study conducted at Brown University. The source of a lot of anti-Muslim propaganda originates from israel, and natenyahu is the one who originated the idea that Islam has the terrorism problem in 1984 in order to dehumanize Muslims/Arabs/Palestinians, while somehow the west and israel are the one that managed to kill millions. It's weird. (See video below)
This is a reddit post that shows some of the atrocities israel has had a hand in:

The US can't constantly be arming death squads and staging coups in places like Latin America. Too big a blow to its reputation and the illusion of the "rules based order" (which of course has fallen apart, thanks israel). So it pulls its lever, israel. This is why biden states "if there was not an israel, we would have to invent an israel". It's this really stupid stage play that I really don't understand how it fools anyone.
Apart from all that, it's a great money laundering tool. You get to kill all the brown people you hate, steal all the taxpayer money of the "hard working American public", send it to israel, who then buy back weapons from your elites whose business is death and destruction.
Yeah, the US doesn't want to lose its "best investment in history" as biden puts it (biden being AIPAC's most donated to candidate in history btw), certainly not for the people of Gaza.
But hey, aparthied south africa (also supported by israel) fell, and so too will israel, the cracks are showing. This zionist ethnostate bullshit is not sustainable.
