International analyst Lourival Sant’Anna, participating during the CNN Prime Time this Tuesday (15), stated that the United States’ support for the defense of Israel remains unshakable, regardless of the party in power.
According to Sant’Anna, “no American government, whether Democrat or Republican, at any time in history, has been able to fail to help Israel with regard to Israel’s defense.”
The expert emphasized that this commitment is based on a series of historical, cultural and geopolitical reasons.
Historical and cultural ties
The analyst highlighted the deep connection between the two countries, which dates back to religious puritanism and American Protestantism.
Sant’Anna mentioned the identification of Americans with the role of Jewish settlers in the occupied territories, drawing a parallel with the United States’ own history of colonization.
To illustrate this point, the expert cited the pilgrimage of American students to Álamo, in Texas, where there is a strong identification with the narrative of resistance, similar to the American perception of the situation in Israel.
Political and geopolitical importance
Sant’Anna highlighted that Israel is the United States’ main ally in the Middle East, a position of extreme geopolitical relevance.
Furthermore, he pointed to the importance of the evangelical vote and the Jewish lobby in American politics as crucial factors in maintaining this support.
“Abandoning Israel, that’s not going to happen,” concluded the analyst, reinforcing the unlikelihood of any significant change in this relationship, despite growing international pressure on the conflict between Israel and Palestine.
