The intellectual consistency is this: Rich or poor or middling, as long as they are hostile to the United States or our allies, they get the full throated media support and deceptions. If it was Israel agains the Kuwait, it would be the same way, and the Kuwaitis aren't poor. And neither is hezbollah, apparently.
You are focusing too hard on trying to disprove my opinion--which you can't, because it is an opinion--and not looking at the reasoning behind it. Israel is rich and it's the closest thing to the US in the area. If it were poor we wouldn't even be talking. In the case of Israel vs. Kuwait, each country's being rich isn't the important factor--that Israel is the closest thing to the US in the area is. And deny it all you like, Israel being prosperous is her greatest sin, part of that prosperity being her being far more like the US than she is like any country in the region.
