I'm not for either side, I just feel like the "leash" we have on Israel is doing more harm than good...
... and its doing so(IMO) by lowering the cost of aggression.
At one time, launching a military attack on another nation risked not only retaliation but annihilation
But when Hamas or some other terrorist group launches an attack on Israel, they know in advance that whatever Israel does in response will be limited by calls for a cease-fire, backed by political and economic pressures from the United States.
and@ the anti Israel sentiment here.
We give them 4 billy a year and they wouldn't even sniff a worthwhile existence without our support, we have every right in the world to tell them what to do. If you really wanted to take the leash off of Israel you wouldn't feel the need to "take a side." What do you mean by "limited response," have you seen the body count on the Palestinian side thus far? If you are advocating for them to get wiped out I won't argue with you, but Americans shouldn't be the ones paying for it.
