Americans have always been skeptical of going to war.
A majority didn’t want to enter WW2 in surveys/polls at the time. (I think!)
Besides, resources are spread thin...
It’s getting more difficult even if you’re sympathetic to Israel.
“A majority didn’t want to enter WW2”
IIRC, a majority didn’t want the American Revolution, either. They were OK with the status quo.
At dinner the other night we were discussing how many times worse our situation is now than it was in the 1700s.
The skepticism is a separate question - I said that Hamas attacking Israel is the United States’ “problem” - but not one in which the USA needs to send troops in.
This is similar to the case with Ukraine - it is the USA’s “problem”, but not one where American troops need to go in.
What about a war between Mali and Togo? Not the USA’s problem.
When is it “the USA’s problem”? When the situation can harm American interests.
Resources ARE spread thin - yes. But if we don’t help Israel NOW, then we will have a larger payment in a few years.
