Our government policies should be based on the principle; what is good for America, and Americans. Being “friends” and allies should be a two way street.
You mean the problem is support for Israel vs Hamas, or Hamas vs. Israel? Or supporters of Hamas versus supporters of Israel?Our government policies should be based on the principle; what is good for America, and Americans. Being “friends” and allies should be a two way street.
And how is not supporting Israel, our most stedfast ally in the Middle East and against followers of Muhammad's wars of conquest, good for America, and Americans? Aside from the Left itself, and its war against God (which includes all who are not on His side), and Chinese and Russian nukes, Islam is the most resilient foe, which the Left much coddles.
And besides deterring them. much of the American aid to Israel is spend on American military arms.American military leaders know and love their Israeli counterparts for their shared values, pro-American spirit, ingenuity, and courage. The explosion in military-to-military cooperation has deepened the U.S. defense community’s understanding of Israel’s threats and requirements, making America’s foreign military financing—the technical term for U.S. aid provided for Israel’s military needs—more impactful than ever.
.. Most of the aid—approximately $3.3 billion a year—is provided as grants under the Foreign Military Financing (FMF) program, funds that Israel must use to purchase U.S. military equipment and services. Israel has also historically been permitted to use a portion of its FMF aid to buy equipment from Israeli defense firms—a benefit not granted to other recipients of U.S. military aid—but this domestic procurement is to be phased out in the next few yearsModern military aircraft aren’t cheap. Israel this month approved a purchase of 25 new F-35s for $3 billion while it negotiates to buy 25 to 50 new F-15s for billions more. Last year Israel agreed to buy four KC-46A refueling aircraft for $927 million.... Additionally, $500 million a year is slated for Israeli and joint U.S.-Israeli missile defense programs, in which the two countries collaborate on the research, development, and production of these systems used by Israel, including the Iron Dome, David’s Sling, and Arrow II. Iron Dome was solely developed by Israel, but the United States has been a production partner since 2014. For instance, the U.S. military contractor Raytheon manufactures Tamir interceptor missiles for Israel’s Iron Dome at its facilities in Arizona.- https://www.cfr.org/article/us-aid-israel-four-charts
While Israel maintains its own line of production on a wide range of military platforms and systems for export to allies like India, those export markets do not produce strategically game-changing assets for import like the United States. For that, Israel’s only alternatives would be Russia and China—imports that would immediately end the U.S.-Israel strategic relationship as we know it, cutting Israel off from intelligence and technology it needs to survive. Even the most remote flirtations with China as a security partner would severely undermine American support for Israel on both sides of the political aisle.
In 1981, the Israeli Air Force prevented Saddam Hussein from developing nuclear weapons when it bombed Iraq’s Osirak nuclear reactor using eight American F-16s. In 2007, Israel used 10 modified American F-15s to stop Bashar Assad from getting the bomb as well. From Syria to Sudan, from the Mediterranean to the Red Sea, from Gaza to Iraq, Israeli military operations have changed the course of history multiple times—preventing wider conflicts that would otherwise require American blood and treasure.
Just as it was a no-brainer to host the X-band radar in the Negev Desert, it’s a no-brainer for Israel to support continued defense aid from the United States. And it’s equally a no-brainer for the United States to support that aid. - https://www.fdd.org/analysis/2023/07/27/american-military-aid-to-israel-serves-both-countries-well/
On the larger scale, while again, the most active preponderant enemy is the anti-Christ Left, as far as physical threats are concerned, isolationism in the modern world, in which projection of military power is scorned, is simply not reasonable. What would be just the economic result of China controlling the South China Sea, or Iran the strait of Hormuz?
I am quite confident that China eventually seeks to dominate far more than it has. But if the Left has its way, the US will have to left them.
