Both the United States and Israel were shaped by political systems built alongside racial hierarchy and contested citizenship.

@Deglassco Thank you for listing all of these resources. This is a stellar list and immensely helpful.

Thank you for your scholarship. This reference list is great in content and structure

Both the United States and Israel were shaped by political systems built alongside racial hierarchy and contested citizenship.
Each proclaimed democratic ideals while simultaneously managing populations excluded from the full promise of those ideals.
They are both profoundly unfree and racially riven societies..
That shared history matters.

Ireland, on the other hand, has over 30 million Americans claiming Irish heritage and there are 82 million in our global diaspora.
We haven’t cost the life of a single American soldier, airman or sailor in a war. We have never asked for American help in any dispute, we as a nation, have never gone to war. We are not a member of NATO.
There are 16 million people claiming Jewish heritage on planet earth. They are never out of the news.

@Deglassco These countries are not unique in this regard. One could say of Nigeria, India, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Rwanda (just to name a few) that “each proclaimed democratic ideals while simultaneously managing populations excluded from the full promise of those ideals.” In all of these societies, “the language of democracy operates beside enduring structures of hierarchy.” In Nigeria it's the Hausa over the Fulani, Yoruba, and Igbo. (1/2)
In India, it's Hindus over Muslims. In Congo, it's Bantu over Kongo, Luba, and Mongo. In Rwanda, it's Tutsi over Hutu, except when it's Hutu over Tutsi. As with the countries you mentioned, “those shared contradictions shape how each county understands security, territory and political control.” (2/2)

In both societies, the language of democracy operates beside enduring structures of hierarchy.
Those shared contradictions shape how each country understands security, territory, and political control.
That parallel history does not fully explain the alliance.
But it helps explain why the two states often recognize themselves in one another.

@Spacehistory And all these countries have the same thing in common: a history of colonialism.
