3. Israel is in a bad regional situation

Iran is close. The military starts each day with a hardy death to America, death to Israel chant. They have made it clear they are developing nuclear weapons.

It’s living next to someone whose religious beliefs is to kill you.

Do you wait for them to get fully armed before you strike? We know from North Korea and Russia that it’s too late once they have nukes.

The bigger question is whether we should be backing Israel or let them go alone. A surprise attack on American basis would probably cost us thousands of lives.
