Many people have ideas, theories why many of the western powers are backing Israel, I don't. I have theories, but certainly none I can say with any conviction or with any logical follow through.
Any moral standing the Israeli backers had has been obliterated. The democratic ideal that they "hold so dear" I would say has gone, their public do not support them. International rule of law was always shaky after Iraq, the shoogly peg is now lying on the floor.
Theories;
The oil and gas theory, for me, doesn't add up. We should/are moving away from fossil fuels and to be reliant on your power from an area where you have collectively kicked over the wasp's byke would be insane. There is money to be had from oil and gas, see Eneos, £107m last year, multi million £ enticement to relocate. But this is small beer costs compared to the multi billions that this escapade is costing. Then there is the follow up security costs, due to the rocket and gun diplomacy.
The canal theory, again, this for me, carries much the same disadvantages as above. Indeed both theories could have been achieved far cheaper and with far less loss of life if a proper settlement had been reached with the Palestinians, years ago.
What's left? For me it is mere exploratory thoughts, three to be precise.
I'd be looking at debt share and returns on venture capital, a case of where's the money/promissory note coming from. For heft I'm coupling this up to western age demographics and the need to maintain pension investments and, of course, pure greed. Just how powerful the Jewish banking sector is I don't know, but I did wonder if Rothschilds in Germany is as strong as it was earlier. It could explain Germany's ambition to make an eejit of it's self post 7th Oct.
Fanciful, but does Mossad have the dirt on western governments?
The third, also fanciful, but worth some consideration. I usually look for at least two reasons for any action and I see two with the backing of Israel.
The threat, I would say reality, of the West loosing hegemony, for the mantle to be taken up by China and India. Both countries have a need to import fuel. A follow on from the middle East conflict is a considerable rise in oil price. The US is almost self sufficient in fuel, Europe is getting there. Hegemony mantle swop at least delayed?
I could go on, when you are in the dark, it feels a bit like winnowing grain the old fashioned way. You beat some ideas about throw them up, to let the wind catch them, the lightweights drift off.
Excellent truthful analysis
