THE AMERICAN-ISRAELI ALLIANCE IN THE CONTEXT OF THE WAR IN GAZA.

This paper examines the alliance between the United States and Israel in prosecuting war in the Gaza Strip. The key objective of the paper is to gain a proper understanding of what policies the US have employed throughout its history towards native populations of North America and why it is backing the current Israeli war on Gaza. The methodology of the study combines analyzing sources and literature, identifying the role of theological and political concepts in motivating imperial policy of the US and the current Israel's onslaught in Gaza. Deploying a comparative analysis of sources and primary data, the review of relevant literature this study explores the roots of war prosecuted by the United States and Israel. The relevance and significance of the study lie in shedding light on one of the pressing and crucial issues in contemporary international relations, namely the political, military and strategic alliance between the US and Israel in their war in Gaza. Moreover, there is a lack of research into this problem and thereby the current study seeks to fill the gap and provide a comprehensive analysis of the topic under consideration. The results of our study show that current unequivocal American support for Israel's ongoing war in Gaza and the suffering of the Palestinians is rooted in their shared hatred of Islam. The foundational ideology of these two settler colonial entities is predicated on the colonial discourse of civilization vs barbarism, cultural and racial superiority. Like the United States, Israel is a settler colonial project in the Mideast backed by the collective West. From this perspective, the study concludes that the shared history and values between the US and Israel allow us to understand why the United States is consistent in its support for the ongoing war in Gaza.
