I think fascism and support for a genocide tend to go hand in hand, so maybe I'm just getting there by working backwards.

That's some terrible logic right there.Fascism also goes "hand in hand" with getting the trains to run on time.

Treaties and allies are complicated. And Israel has been a long ally to the US. Breaking that relationship potentially removes a US presence in the middle east and impacts our intelligence gathering capabilities. Something that could have a lasting impact on US security.

I'm not defending Israel. But what Israel is doing is being done by Israel.

What Israel is doing is only possible because of US enthusiastic support.

And it's being supported by the US. There should be conditions for support, and currently there are none.
