Noam Chomsky - 75 years of US support for Israel, briefly explained

President Joe Biden’s promise for the US to “stand with Israel” continues a special relationship that dates back to 1948, when President Harry Truman became the first world leader to recognize the Jewish state, moments after its creation. There’s now a kibbutz named after Truman in Israel, and the US provides billions in military support to Israel each year. Israel has played an outsized role in US policy, and not just because most recent presidents have tried to play the role of peace maker between Israel and Palestinians and move toward a two-state solution. #noamchomsky #israelpalestineconflict #joebiden
