Israel is our proxy in the Middle East, our hired gun. For a relatively small price, we've outsourced the war on terror to them, and they keep dying so we don't have to. Since Oct 7, Israel has lost 1,000 service members in their fight against Islamic terror. They've killed or captured 14,000 Hamas terrorists who would happily kill any American they could get their hands on. They've killed 4,500 Hezbollah terrorists who would happily kill any American they could get their hands on. They've killed 6,000 IRGC. The IRGC put a death sentence on Trump's head and tried to kill him or his cabinet three times (so far). Trump had never attacked Iran at that point. His only crime was to stop sending pallets of cash or billion dollar wire transfers like the Democrats did. These Islamic terrorist groups attack Israel over the US for one simple reason: proximity. Israel is simply more geographically within reach. But they'd love to come for us, and would have by now if they weren't constantly on the run from Israel. Pretending you can make peace with Islamic jihadists by simply ignoring them is not a national security strategy. Someone has to fight them. I'd prefer it be Israel. Hamas and Iran's leaders have called America the Great Satan and Israel the little Satan for two decades now. They have vowed to eliminate us using nukes that entire time. Cutting ties with Israel won't do a thing to change that. The IRGC's plan to detonate a nuke over America's grid leaked over 15 years ago. The only reason that hasn't happened is that Israel has effectively destroyed its nuclear program four times over the last 20 years, again, so we don't have to. We partnered with them twice to do that, once in a cyber attack and then in Midnight Hammar. For $3 billion a year, that's a bargain. For comparison, this weekend RFK Jr. put the healthcare fraud just in Los Angeles alone at $10 billion. Democrat Somali networks stole $9 billion in Minnesota alone. Paying Israel to defend us is a bargain.
