In reply to the discussion: Israel "feels like" they have to respond. And Iran says Israel "will definitely be met with a severe response" [View all]Basic LA
(2,047 posts)20. Yes, I agree with your last paragraph.
But the US provided & maintains the Iron Dome, I thought. Just as the US provides & finances much of Israel's war machine, like that used to slaughter tens of thousands of helpless Gaza civilians.
Let Israel fight its own battles. It's a nuclear power after all, and a major drain on our economy & good will.
And they could've had the courtesy of a heads up before committing an act of war against Iran in a major destabilization. That crossed the line and was disrespectful to President Biden, who has bent over backwards for them.
Cut them loose and cut all funding, for a start. Then we'll see about reestablishing & imposing the two-state solution, which is way overdue, and the main cause of strife in the region.

It won't help Gaza. It will drag the US into a war. It will isolate the US. It will help elect Trump.
