Capitalism just follows the money; the justifications and lies the US makes for war are always just excuses to profit the ruling class of capitalist corporations.
Obviously the ruling class profit from war, but US support of Israel seems to me more about empire than profit. We need allies to justify, enable and support our military presence in this vital region.
Not everything we do is because our society is controlled by greedy bloodsucking parasites. Sometimes we’re just trying to maintain our brutal imperial dominance.

…which is for profit from the oil and other materials in the region. War also lets them divert more of their resources into the military industrial complex. In that sense, the trillions of dollars used in the military during the Afganistan war was a net positive for the military corporations too; human lives be damned.
