To europeans its quite strange how easily the US would go to war... I guess this is a product of big oil and weapon lobbying, because theyre the only ones that benefit from this
Our politicians don't have the backbone to stand up to the US and the ones that might are obliterated by the press (not a Corbyn fan but it's interesting to read what the press says and then what he actually said just to see how blatant it is).
Honestly I'm in favour of the UK taking a much lesser role in international affairs, as a second rate power we simply shouldn't be rattling around the place like it's the 19th century - We should be more like a Germany or Italy and less like US-lite.
Israel has a few motivations, land is just one of them.
Whether it's land, oil, distracting the plebeians or something else, for the most part it boils down to power.
