I notice a lot of people I know that seem puzzled about why Western leaders support Israel so unilaterally against popular sovereignty.
Jason Hickel completely nails it.
It’s not really just about oil, weapons sales or the Israel lobby.
They fear a Free Palestine because they fear a free world.

Israel is not an "ally" of the US. It is a proxy force. It is used to attack popular liberation movements across West Asia—and elsewhere in the global South—to prevent sovereign development and thus maintain the conditions for US capital accumulation.
