Americans have fought how many wars in the ME since the 1990s?

Sorry, this is not our problem.

I agree with all the comments saying it's time for Israeli supporters to step up to the plate. You want to push the U.S. into yet another conflict in the ME? Why don't you start with your own children. Let's see you send your sons and daughters to fight in a new war.

No excuses necessary. We see you.

Our ground troops, marines, and US cruise ships are already there on the Mediterranean and Red Sea protecting Israel.

Unlike most of the world, They didn’t send one troop to us post 9/11 even for the Iraq war that they /Netanyahu wanted.

Why do we protect them militarily when they don’t do anything to back us up militarily ?

In that situation probably they were asked not to get involved for good reason.

Israel is the eyes and ears of the Middle East. They have the best intelligence services in the world. They back us up in ways you'll never know.

Biden's allegiance to Israel is going to drag us into another ME war.

Throughout the war US president George H. W. Bush did his utmost to keep Israel from responding. US deputy secretary of state Larry Eagleburger and undersecretary of defense Paul Wolfowitz arrived in Israel four days before the aerial bombing of Iraq began, on a mission to convince us not to launch a preemptive attack and to stay out of the war. They assured us that the US armed forces would within days eliminate the danger of Scud attacks against Israel, while Israeli participation might well lead to a break-up of the coalition and ensuing difficulties. Should the US not be successful in eliminating the Scud threat to Israel, they said, the US would acquiesce to an Israeli response.

As it turned out, all American attempts to hit the Scud launchers failed, and throughout the war Scuds kept falling on Israel. Raytheon Patriot anti-aircraft missiles sent to Israel by the US, despite a number of attempts, failed to intercept a single Scud. Nevertheless, Bush in almost daily calls to prime minister Yitzhak Shamir urged him to keep Israel out of the war despite Iraqi “provocations.”

lol. Oct7 say hold my beer. Israel intelligent services are so self serving that anything they “provide” in terms of intelligence is worthless. This how the US views intelligence from Israel. Senior leadership roll their eye.

So not an ally but a problem? Surely Israel could have kicked in 100k ground troops, let the US base forces out of Israel or at least helped in a minor way?

The question is why should the US protect Israel when Israel is clearly the aggressor? What Israel did was an act of war. We have no obligation to fight for Israel specially when Israel is the one attacking another country. This is a bridge too far.

You can hear the drones flying over this city in southern Iraq. It'll take them about 8 hours to reach Israel - lots of time to shoot them down.

Will Israel deliver canned sunshine to Iran as a response?

October 7th was carried out by Hamas - which is the recognized government of Gaza. Thus, Gaza invaded Israel on October 7th and Israel has responded in kind. The current protests against Israel seem to be focusing only on Israel's response and fail to explain why Hamas invaded Israel on October 7th and took hostages back to Gaza.
