I will admit that I dont know much about the situation, but I know it is very important from a "history" standpoint.
But, why is Israel important from a "strategy" standpoint?
(From what I know, I believe that Israel has been, and should continue to be, a strong ally of the US. I hope the President Biden does not think differently. I think it is important to maintain good relations with allies.)

Not to worry. Other than bachophile, I doubt anyone here knows much about it either. And even then, those that purport to know will never concede that bach knows much more than they do.
All I know is that Biden will not abandon Israel as an ally, despite the fact he most likely does not agree with Bibi Netanyahu's politics.

That may well be true.
Care to speculate why his spokesperson didn't acknowledge it, when, days earlier, it cited China as an ally?
Yeah, I know "Pay attention to what they do, not what they say." But
tell that to the impeachment guyswhat they say does have some weight, no? -

I know enough to skim the surface.
What do you know?

Well the question was do you consider “Saudi Arabia and Israel to be allies”.
She might have been hesitant to saw it just for SA (or maybe not). Israel should be called an ally.
It’s not clear from that exchange that they don’t consider Israel an ally. (It’s not clear that they do either)
She’s also not all that great of a speaker (I haven’t heard her before) - judging just from that clip.

Americans are obsessed with Israel. They'll boast about not giving a fuck about any other countries, but Israel....that's a different story.
You'd think it was the holy land or something.

@xenon NBC says the Biden administration has referred to Canada, Britain, France, Japan and China as "allies."
Not yet to Israel.
But yeah, China.
So, is China an ally?

Interesting. In the Taiwan news, they are mainly reporting that President Biden has said that China is the #1 competitor against the US. Different "way to phrase" for different audience I guess.

Biden isn't dumb enough to think that China is an ally.
Nobody thinks that.

There is a difference between dumb and senile.
Senile people believe almost anything.

Like he won in a landslide, like there was widespread massive voter fraud, like the VPOTUS could overturn electoral college results, like COVID-19 could go away on its own, etc.

Yes, Biden thinks he won in an electoral landslide.
Of course, he also likes to grope children. There is a reason some people now refer to the team in the White House as "Pedo Joe and the Ho".

Here's what I believe... I believe Joe has never been a die-on-this-hill politician. He's made a career out of the smile, handshake and the stance of the moment. Right now, he's elderly, declining in his mental faculties and intensely monitored and handled by his team.
His team is much more influenced by current Dem (read Leftist) thought, than perhaps Joe is. Part of that current Dem thought aligns nicely with Ms. KathyK's historical thoughts about Israel and its place in the world. I think a lot of this current crop of Dems secretly wish the Germans would have finished the job...

I think you're spending too much time in the right wing echo chamber.
Of course, as we know there's absolutely no anti-semitism amongst the far right. Anybody who thinks otherwise will be shot with a Jewish space-laser.
