The US has to be ready for what could be a significant set of attacks against Israel by Iran and its proxies, US National Security Communications adviser John Kirby told reporters in a virtual briefing Monday, as international diplomats raced to avert a regional war.

“We have increased our force posture and capabilities in the region even in just the last few days,” Kirby said, adding that “we have to be prepared for what could be a significant set of attacks.”

The most important step right now is making sure that "Israel can defend itself and that we, the United States, have in place the proper force to help them defend themselves,” Kirby said.

For a ally, the deal seems one sided in their favor. Israel has received hundreds of billions in foreign aid form US. I would hope we don't run our foreign policy based on religion or supernatural expectations.
YOu haven't spent the time to look at what Israel does for the US. And in your ignorance, you fail to understand the reality that the US overthrows ISraeli governments, purchases their intelligence service officers allegiance, sets up and funds hostile NGOs in Israel, and funds and arms ISrael's enemies. The idea that Israel controls our foreign policy is a delusion

Your ignorant of what Israeli ngos do.

IsraAID, Project TEN, Tevel B’Tzedek, etc are the biggest supporters of arab and other refugees into Europe. Israel doesn't mind helping the 3rd world come to Europe and America.

Importing more Pals to America, guess what, Jews have pimped that for a while:

The West Should Welcome Gaza Refugees, Europe and the U.S. accepted millions who fled earlier wars.

Israeli lawmakers urge the West to accept refugees from Gaza, in WSJ op-ed

For the hundreds of billions in aid money to Israel, we haven't got much in return. Israel is very socialistic in nature, combined with their very liberal views on abortion, fags and other vices.
