...If we did, we'd have been involved in 2009, 2006, 1982, 1973, 1967...
Unlike Europe and misc. arab countries, Israel has a strong enough military that it has little to no need for America to send troops. The Israelis did well enough in 1948 by themselves while be attacked on numerous fronts and they did well enough in all the other years that no foriegn army was called to aid them. This time around they will most likely tell the UN and Egypt to go f**k themselves.
They are not our ally. We have no mutual defense treaty with them. If we did, we'd have been involved in 2009, 2006, 1982, 1973, 1967...
We've had bilateral relations with Israel since 1948. Like it or not, they're an ally. Mutual defense treaty or no, the world sees Israel and the Unite States as allies, and that's the point of view the rest of the world will act from if we leave Israel hanging.
This move was justified by Israel. The past few days Hamas has been firing into Israel, so Israel took out the guy primarily responsible for coordinating the attacks. Rational and just move on their part.
But it was okay for Hamas to blow up a Yellow school bus with an anti-tank missle. Why don't you take the time and read that Hamas missle attacks are now occurring in Israeli towns as school is letting out.
If this had anything remotely to do with human rights, we would be fighting on the African continent.
Why don't we offer the Palestinians land in one of the huge Western states (Utah?) that wants to secede?
Or maybe the Canadians could give them a big swath of land in the northern reaches of Canada --- they don't need to live on a sliver of land in the Middle East.

They are already in the US in Jacksonville Fl. They prefer the warmer climate.
