Can I ask you why Tel Aviv is more important for the US elite than Washington D.C? And what EU states are you talking about? You have also previously claimed that the US elite care more about the destruction of Tel Aviv than Washington D.C. I am not saying you are wrong. But how come Israel be so important for the US elite?
It's related to the stealthy overarching power structure which dominates not just the US regime, but basically all its allies, plus other states integrated into the so-called international community (read: the western-led club) and/or into the globalized economy. This power structure consists of a series of networks, the most prominent of which are essentially the following three:
* The elite of global capitalism, in which the financial (banking) sector plays a leading role.
* International zionism.
* Masonic and associated secret societies.
These literally determine guidelines, as well as red lines, for policy makers in Washington D.C. This is why no matter who's elected as the president of that regime, they will heap unusual levels of praise on the zionist entity and unambiguously proclaim the existence of an organic relationship of sorts between the US and the apartheid entity, on top of the unconditional support they are granting Tel Aviv, which has gone a long way empowering the zionists to oppress the people of Palestine. The current US president went as far as declaring that "American culture is Jewish culture". This is also why the zionist regime can strike a US Navy vessel, the USS Liberty in a 1967 false flag attack blamed on Egypt, and get away with it - what other US ally is enjoying this luxury? Likewise, no candidate in the American political system can hope to win an election if they are informally vetoed by AIPAC, the main zionist lobby. No state wields as much influence as Isra"el" does on US foreign policy towards a given region of the world, even if it goes against America's national interest as described by Mearsheimer and Walt in their 2007 book "The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy".
Furthermore, there's a deeper, esoteric / mystical level to it as well. Much of these elites and oligarchs share different iterations of certain mystical messianic beliefs, essentially rooted in the Kabbala, to simplify. And this form of messianism makes Al-Quds its geographical center. Hence why the notion of rebuilding the Temple of Solomon is so decisive not just to pro-zionist messianism, but also to masonry. Hence why globalists who crave for a "world government" (and dissolution of every nation-state into it) or "Universal Republic", define Jerusalem as its future capital city.
The slightest risk to the viability of the zionist apartheid state is unbearable for the US regime and for those pulling its strings. So any adversary achieving deterrence against Isra"el", will by extension have achieved deterrence against Washington as well.
