Not only our country but other countries falling apart. Imagine a year from now.
Keep our troops out of Israel

Really dont get the hate for Israel by some. They literally do nothing to anybody and have people all over the world trying to destroy them every single day.
I’m not trying to turn this political. I’m just tired of both sides of this issue, so eff em both. I’m in my 40s and Israel vs Palestine has been a thing my whole life and nothing is ever resolved.
Living together in harmony shouldn’t be hard and the main issue preventing that is religion. That’s why I’m no fan of religion in general because of all the blood that’s been shed in its name since the beginning of recorded human history.
I freely admit Islam is the worst religion of them all by a wide margin. I would like to see peace in the region but it will never happen. I’d rather the US stay out of it. Not our circus, not our monkeys.
The most I want to see us get involved over there is for Sergeant Slaughter beating up the Iron Sheikh
What does Israel do for us really? It seems like a one-sided relationship.
Pretty sure they have been there to aid us in everything we have done in the middle east. They more than anyone align with our philosophy's and goals when it comes to military actions. They buy most of their weapons from us too.
Anybody else kind of pulling for the cockroaches to outlive the rest of the "people" on earth?
I agree religion has been the driving cause of many wars especially in that region, but the Israeli, Palestinian conflict isn't about religion. There are a half million Arab Muslims that are citizens of Israel and about 15% of Palestinians are Christians. The issue is territory. Israel continues to confiscate land that is legally part of Palestine and relocate their people elsewhere. I can understand Israel's paranoia and wanting to have a larger buffer area to protect itself but this should be done be treaties, not at the point of a gun. This is why the Pals are shooting those overgrown bottle rockets into Israel. Palestinians have their own issues with the bellicose Hamas faction that has screwed up attempts at peace deal. Israel has had hard line leadership for many years as well.
The best news to come out of this area in some time IMO is Israel establishing relationship with the UAE and getting close to seeing something some about between them and Saudi Arabia. If they can broaden their diplomatic net it could ease tensions along the boarder that could lead to something better in time.
Who's your center and guards?
Man I'm torn on this one. I whole heartedly agree with you that they are one of our best allies. But what a cluster it will be with Biden leading the charge. There's no way they would let our troops fight the way they need to. It really is a lose lose situation.
It may be sacrilege to say it, but I usually prefer most cover versions of Dylan songs. Lot of great material.
Please don't use facts. These folks don't understand or want them.
I guess everyone, including the media, has forgotten about the peace agreement Trump helped put in place? Biden is weak and the world knows it. The Mideast goes back to its instability, gas prices rise, and our borders are at risk. The US is not in a good place. Trump may not have been the answer to all of our problems, but Biden isn’t the answer to any of them. Harris? HA!! We’re barely 100 days into this administration, and there are new threats aplenty. We need a strong leader, but who in the hell amongst our brightest and best would want to take in this **** show? For me, military service should be a prerequisite to serve as president.
Since when has the Middle East ever been stable?
Proof that the prophesies of the Bible are real. They are foretold. These people who hate Israel follow Satan's rule.
They were our eyes and ears on the ground during the Gulf War too feeding us intel.
You can bout guarantee, the ones who dislike ISrael and don't want the US to help them.....are dems
I don’t dislike Israel. We can morally support them without costing American lives
I think that's where most people are on this. A war in the region would be totally insane. At any rate Israel doesn't need US military personnel, we have already given them the latest and greatest weapons and they have an extremely well trained armed forces. Sending our troops to that regions would simply throw gas on the anti-American fervor over there and prompt more terrorism. Hopefully we learned that with our venture into Iraq to destroy weapons of mass destruction that didn't exist and gave birth to ISIS.
I think the diplomacy path is the correct one, including improved relations between Israel and it's Arab neighbors which we are seeing - a credit to the previous administration.
I just liked a deee post. I’m gonna take some time off
Most everyone saw this coming with lockdown but all these governments did it anyway
Exactly. Israel always shows tons of restraint. They could erase this threat in short order.

I don't know why I clicked on this thread expecting better. The title gave me hope, I guess.
You caught me. I like to spend my evenings listening to Slayer records - backwards - and drinking the blood of baby goats as a ritualistic sacrifice to the almighty dark master himself.
Moral support them huh. That'll show those trying to kill Israelis. Good grief.
I think he meant as a people we give them moral support, As a government we give Israel more than moral support. we give them $4 Billion a year in mostly military aid including:
- 64,744 M-16A1 rifles
- 2,469 M-204 grenade launchers
- 1,500 M-2 .50 caliber machine guns
- .30 caliber, .50 caliber, and 20mm ammunition

You see, I knew you would come out of the dark when prodded. Pagan.
Edited: Pronounce the last word in Spanish.
When your neighbor starts shooting at you and throwing grenades....I will morally support you....good luck
Both sides are idiots. Palestine's for thinking it was a smart idea to start slamming rockets into a place that could wipe you off the face of the map, and Israel for deciding to take their anger out on innocent Palestinians living in Israel.
