I get that flagellation of americans is the norm, but the US support for the Iran war was 27% as of a week ago and will likely fall further as atrocities continue, whereas the Jewish Israeli support is 93% (arab israelis are just slightly less pro-war than the average american, with 26% support level). The war is far more in the interests of one country and it's population than the other's and i don't get why there's this insistence to endlessly pretend that it's not.

Because this isn't about whether it benefits the US population. Venezuela, Syria, Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq, Vietnam, etc. did not benefit the US population, regardless of the varying levels of US public support for the action.

This war on Iran does have the potential to benefit and maintain US hegemony, the Dollar and US capital. A weak Iran is a benefit to the US empire. A strong, independent Iran hinders it.
