I would have less of an objection (but not zero or approval) for the Gaza thing if Israel payed for 100% of it and we stopped gifting all that money and unanimous new-law votes in their behalf. I don't think it's "nationalism plus Israelism" - we need to restore our house before we save anyone else any more.

Likely unpopular... and I'm not that versed in exactly WHY the U.S. is so all-in to support Israel. So, as the meme says, change my mind. I'm genuinely curious and perplexed b/c I see no reason for it at this time.

Easy. The Jews control our financial system and thus our nation. Being a nation without borders whose locus is Israel, Israel is their first concern.

Why would America care if we ruled ourselves? Washington said in his Farewell Address: Stay out of foreign wars.

That is easy.

Israel is being used as a proxy force against Iran.

You know the country that has called Israel Little Satan and called the US big Satan.

Iran decided to support one of its enemies in a proxy war against Israel and the US namely Hamas and it has only gotten worse.

Even more to the point when Obama and Biden handed over hundreds of billions of dollars to Iran, they used the money to fund battles in and around Israel.

Now Iran desperately wants nukes, and the cult Ahmadinejad and the ruling clerics belong to will use them first chance they get.

They don't care about Palestinians anymore then Hamas does it's about destroying Israel and then the US as well as the west.

There is nothing new here this has been going on for a thousand years just an ebb and flow in the clash of civilizations.

Please prove me wrong...Iran got bent over and buggered by Israel.

So badly they have said very little since then.

'Operation Days of Repentance' - How Israel's strike on Iran unfolded

Targets in around 20 locations across the country are believed to have been hit. Iran has downplayed the impact but Israel says its mission was a success.

Israel's pre-dawn attack on Iran was one of the biggest and most complex air assaults the country has ever conducted.

Dozens of aircraft, including Western-made fifth-generation stealth jets as well as F-16 and F-15 warplanes, flew more than 1,000 miles to strike multiple targets inside Iran, including the regime's prized, Russian-provided S-300 air defence systems.

An Israeli source said four of the S-300 systems were hit along with radars and other air defence capabilities, reducing the risk to Israeli aircraft should they be deployed on any future mission against the Iranian regime.

The raid - codenamed "Operation Days of Repentance" - also targeted sites where Iran was manufacturing missiles used to threaten Israel.

"It was a significant attack... We were able to achieve all the goals," the source said.

The Israeli government had vowed to retaliate after Iran launched more than 180 ballistic missiles at Israel on 1 October in response to Israeli attacks against Iranian interests.

However, a number of the 1,000-kg warheads did impact on Israeli targets.

"It is a threat that we cannot accept," the source said.

Long anticipated, Israel's weekend retaliation came in three waves, with the first strike hitting at about 2am on 26 October and the last Israeli jet safety returning to Israel by 6am.

No aircraft were lost or damaged in the mission.

In what was described as a "complex" operation, Israeli fighter jets, supported by air-to-air refuelling aircraft and reconnaissance planes, left their bases before midnight on 25 October.

They had to fly more than 1,000 miles to be within range of their targets - a journey that would have required the warplanes to refuel en route and fly over hostile airspace.

The aircraft were armed with so-called "stand-off munitions" - missiles that can be launched from a distance, meaning they did not need to enter Iranian air space to achieve their goal.

'Picked off with impunity'

Israel has not publicly acknowledged the route for its operation.

However, it is thought the Israeli Air Force, including 201 Squadron, which operates F-16s, flew over Syria and then into Iraq, firing their weapons from Iraqi airspace, before returning home.
