One of the key rules of US geopolitics is to never let an Eurasian empire successfully develop because it is the one entity that at some point in the future may be able to compete with the US. In this regard the US goes out of its way to hold the EU back from time to time, cause enough instability in the middle east to make it difficult for them to each reach the US, and keeps supporting the second biggest player in other regions of Asia whenever one nation is rising up above all the others around it.
Most people are unable to understand why the US keeps funding Israel and remains so focused on its defense even after so many decades and think its because the jews run the US, or because Israeli's give so much money to US politicians but even so it doesn't make up for the extreme levels of support Israel gets from the US. The actual reason for the US support of Israel in current year is far simpler than that. They understand that there will be no peace in the middle east as long as Israel remains a major power in the region, and that's a good thing. The only way for the rest of the middle east to develop with Israel as a major partner is if they align with the west such as how Saudi Arabia has done in recent decades. The existence of Israel has not only forced the middle east into a position of stagnation or western alignment, but has also forced the middle east into a permanent state of low intensity conflict which is not helpful to long term development.
Israel acts as the counterweight that stops another rival empire from ever developing in the middle east.
This is also why we see rising animosity towards Israel from Europe. While Europe and Israel are western allies, Europe no longer benefits from the existence of Israel in the middle east, as the continual destabilization of the region results in lower quality immigrants and refugees ending up in Europe from the middle east. European Union as a non-belligerent political entity has as one of its goals the need for Israel to give up any claims on Palestinian lands to further stabilize the region. Israel does not benefit from this due to the "to the death" mentality of extremist groups in Palestine and other parts of the middle east, but for Europe it is the only way forward as one of their self claimed targets is to stabilize the regions around them. To further spread the European peace.
Recently, Israel has ended up bombing the pagers and radios of Hezbollah in Lebanon. From around the world this has resulted in either condemnation or statements claiming non-participation in those actions. Russia has gone as far as to declare it a terrorist attack by Israel on Lebanon. While we can argue back and forth as to whether what Israel did was a very impressive secret intelligence win or a faux pas which will result in a full scale regional war, what cannot be denied is that Israel's actions today, whether justified or not, lead to further escalation of tensions in the region. Similar to escalation of tensions by the actions of HAMAS and Hezbollah. It is in this manner that the very existence of Israel and everything that comes with it in terms of regional interactions has resulted in the furtherance of tensions in the region for another generation at least.
In current times there are two possibilities for how things are going to play out in the middle east now. The first possibility being that Israel will perform enough impressive counter intelligence operations killing enemy targets that it will dissuade the entire region from further escalating conflict with Israel ( This doesn't generally happen ), or that tensions escalate further to full blown wars taking place in the middle east between Israel and the rest of the nation states in the middle east ( which again isn't very likely due to how the Iraq war turned out for Iraq and how many US ships are waiting by the coast for entities like Iran and Lebanon to invade Israel ). In this situation we can see that the US is what is stopping from full blown invasions against Israel breaking out in the region in current year.
We find ourselves in a situation where the rivals of Israel are still not in a position to invade Israel or to fight against Israel using their military, meanwhile Israel has on multiple occasions shown their capability to strike at its rival nations surgically within their own territory, killing whichever target they deem fit to kill. This continued to force the middle east into a position where terrorist organizations will continue to attack Israel and there will always be more individuals to fill in the ranks of these terrorist organizations as over time Israel will continue to successfully attack these territories as per their own convenience. Just as we can expect a long term anti-US mindset in Pakistan, and an anti-west mindset in Afghanistan, in the coming generations we are going to see a continued anti- west mindset from the Eastern half of the middle east, resulting in a multi-generational conflict that the eastern middle east simply cannot win.
We know the Eastern half of the middle east cannot win against the west because we have seen this dance play out multiple times already. The west has lifelong conflict with another nation state next door, the non-western nation state over generations suffers from slow economic attrition until over time they are too weak to function as a nation state against the west. At this point in time the rival nation state either starts working on fitting within the western world order by changing sides or it begins to collapse internally, resulting in the west taking over the region either way in the course of a generation or two.
The west is absolutely an expansionist empire, one need only look at the world map and the expanding influence of the west since WW2 to know that. Just because it moves slow enough for one generation to be unable to remember or track doesn't mean its not continuing to edge further East and South. Israel acts as one of its checkpoints from which further westernization of the world ( middle east ) is to take place, by forcing all middle eastern territories to make peace with Israel and thus the west.
Conclusion:
Israel will never lose western support because it is the furthest western colony meant to ensure no empire rises successfully in the middle east and to make it easier to claim and further westernize all the territories of the middle east as far as those neighboring Israel.
