    Spoiler alert: This would have most likely happened regardless of the D or R next to the president’s name on the ballot.

    There’s two reasons I could see the US supporting Israel regardless of who’s in charge: the logical one because it has historical precedent is that the US wants Israel as a buffer for Russia due to it’s strategic location in the Middle-East, and the other reason is more conspiracy theory but I wouldn’t be surprised if the US can somehow get access to Palestine’s oil if Israel beats the shit out of the Hamas.

      Palestine doesn’t have any oil. There’s some offshore deposits in the Mediterranean but Israel already has full access to those.
