    Israeli has been a belligerent country who has not stopped terrorizing their neighbors since their formation. Zionists created Israel through a campaign of terror against British mandate Palestine and continue it to this day against Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, and Iran.

    Why are we supporting a country who does not want peace with their neighbors? They claim to be defending themselves by preemptively attacking any country that so much sneezes on them. Israel has even attacked the United States on many occasions.

    If they want to be belligerent bullies in the region, they should have to do it on their own without dragging the US and it’s allies into yet another middle eastern conflict.

    They even assassinated the leader Hamas while they were negotiating a ceasefire. Does that sound like a peaceful country?

      Bar Palestine, where they want to annex the West Bank, Israel would be more than happy with a live and let live relation. The entire reason Hamas wanted to escalate hostilities was because Israel was succeeding in just that, and they couldn’t stop it otherwise.

      The other player is Iran. You should think about whether it’s right you included Jordan in your list and then why they’d help intercept Iran’s missile strike some months ago…
