Can anyone explain, in a couple of sentences 
, how Israel fits into the big picture? I need serious remedial ed on this.
I have a vague sense that the practical value in Israel is in it's location--it provides the US with a base in the middle east from which to potentially launch missiles and such. Obviously that's where the oil is, and a good climate for opium poppies I suppose. It also seems like a prototype for the type of oppressive power that the US wants to be, like a test lab.
And it appears that sheeple of the gringo persuasion are persuaded to go along with US support of Israel's by depicting it as the mythical portal to the mythical rapture. Obviously since it encompasses the "holy land" that makes it more important to certain religions and more believable that it's the rapture site.
Beyond that I'm hazy.
Anyone want to help out... if you dare. Such an incendiary topic... :eek:
