They will, only once all the oil's been extracted, which will take some decades yet.
While it's not a religious conspiracy, there is plenty of religious support from certain christian denominations, on the USA and other countries, because of some weird interpretation of the bible about Israelis getting their "promised land" back.
It's not only about oil. I mean sure, some of it is but even without oil they'd want military access simply because of how much a hotspot it is.
I already told you this has nothing to do with religion and the fact you believe this means your sources aren't trustworthy.
Oh, you mean that people who use religion to preach support for isreal aren't real? The pastors in my country that do that during the cults and on TV must be a figment of my imagination, then!
And exactly what kind of impact do you think those religious nuts have on our top military brass's positions?
I find it funny that you moved the goalposts so readily. I don't have time for intellectually dishonest people.
I never implied said religious support happened at or was directed at the top of the hierarchy, political or military. Why you came to that conclusion eludes me. Let me quote myself:
My intent was pointing out that this is to generate public support. But I guess I'm the one "moving the goalposts" and being "intellectually dishonest" because I'm not replying to what you thought I was saying implicitly. Next thing you'll tell me I'm trying to squirrel out of what you're wrongfully accusing me of.
