Why America Holds Israel as a Sacred Cow | Relationship between the USA and Israel | Noam Chomsky

The video features Noam Chomsky discussing the strong relationship between the United States and Israel. Chomsky addresses the question of why conservative America has a close bond with Israel, mentioning that many so-called conservatives in the U.S. are more accurately described as radical statists. He highlights that the Republican Party's support for Israeli policies is tied to various factors, including the influence of Christian evangelicals, who hold fervent support for Israel, and the nativist element, which fears demographic changes. Chomsky points out that American support for Israel significantly increased after the 1967 conflict in the Arab world, where Israel's actions aligned with U.S. interests. He suggests that cultural factors, such as Christian Zionism and parallels between the U.S. and Israel as settler colonial societies, contribute to the enduring closeness between the two nations. ##noamchomsky #israel #israelpalestineconflict
