Fawning worship of Israel and belief to it's moral, economic and military superiority is at first sight a curious part of the neo-liberal political package in the so-called "West".

It might be hard to understand why belief in unrestrained "free markets" and support for Israel's right to unrestrained use of force tend to go hand in hand, but that's how it is and the reason is rather simple:

Political elites' contempt of their "own" people, forcing them to accept economic "reforms" that hurt them and help the elite is easily transplanted from domestic to foreign policy - and vice versa.

Celebration of "necessary" hardship for workers and use of extensive force against occupied people until both "accept" what is demanded are just two sides of the coin and it wasn't hard to make the 'Western' elites who already felt (and were encouraged to do so more by original 'true believers' from within) sympathy to Israel's elite to see the project of "Greater Israel" as another hard, but "necessary reform" that was needed to protect Israel, in the manner of protecting their own wealth and economic growth that would benefit it.

At the same time domestic workers and the "under-class" are seen increasingly as a threat that needs to be dealt with in the "Israeli manner" - which has led to the training of thousands (a conservative estimate) of "Western" police officers by Israel. And we all know, just like the "Western" elites know, what kind of training unavailable in the "West" can be gained from Israel.

Support for eternal Israeli occupation - "containment" - of Palestinians and use of increasingly militarized "Western" police to "contain" domestic opposition to neo-liberal economical and political goals exist in a symbiotic relationship, each strengthening the other in the minds of the "Western" elites.
