Why is the USA selling weapons to Israel? Edit: please read the body. Serious answers aren't required.
I was reminded today that Israel has space lasers. Why do they need to buy anyone else's weapons? Shouldn't they be selling their space lasers to the rest of us? /s (I hope that's obvious)

It's all tied up with Christian doomsday cults.
We have to support Israel so Jesus comes back faster.
I wish I were kidding, that's a majority opinion in the halls of power.

this is the reality, sadly. I was heavily exposed to evangelicalism as a child and teenager and this is the true motive behind it. I wonder what they will do once they destroy the world to finally rebuild the jewish temple, just to find jesus doesn't come back. It's going to be hell getting then, but maybe they will finally end this bullshit already.
Trade routes, maintaining its global dominance via military strength, and Israel pays the US politicians
weapons are the USAs #1export.
Well they do sell their weapons too. Particularly intelligence related (if you wanna count that as a weapon)
