they are second only to the uk, if that. your second national anthem is "jerusalem". i literally don't even. there is some kind of anglo-saxon obsession with israel. it is bizarre. i don't think it's money or media. i think it's an empire thing. similar to obsessions with ancient greece or egypt or rome or mesopotamia. an attempt to legitimize through association or succession. with elements of, essentially mysticism. the upper class version of /x/ schizo stuff. they can rattle on about ancient kings and emperors and that's why you have to be poor, etc. so conquest of/reestablishing of/supporting of jerusalem and new temple is viewed as a means to legitimizing their own rule by association. as the credibility of our ruling class craters, their instinct to reach for such pomp and ceremony tokens actually increases.
