America is truly a terrifying place.

I think so too and good. And US and all our allies should stand solidly behind Israel on that response.  This was a brazen attack by Hamas where civilians were targeted.

And broke.  We gave all our money to Ukraine.  People forget Russia was our ally in WWII.

This was gonna happen eventually.

Israel's actions have clearly pushed Palestinians to the brink.

Very sad.

The US needs to walk away, at least militarily/financial backing, from the entire Middle East

Colossal failure by Netanyahu.

Hutch,

Do not be surprised if Israel is also attacked by Hezbollah to the North.  The Western and World response to this will be really interesting because I could see Israel completely taking over Gaza and then obliterating Iranian nuclear sites.

Uh......wrong.  Unless you're content with Iran getting a nuclear weapon and wiping Israel off the map. 

[Uncle Rico]

America’s diplomatic history in the Middle East has been one failure after another through all administrations. 

Abandoning the Middle East is impossible but the idea America can solve the issues in the Middle East is folly.  Religion is an unbeatable force when it comes to human suffering

Well, time to dust off that Iran nuclear agreement then eh?

Do you expect the US to be the world's police forever?

We've given Israel only about $20 billion the past 5 years.
Hopefully they can squeak by.

The was a coordinated attack essentially from Iran designed to bring the Middle East into total chaos, and it was absolutely gruesome in nature.  Iran 2nd biggest enemy is the United States.  If you think this has no impact on us you're sorely mistaken nor is it really a "religious war".

And we gave Iran 6B a few weeks ago. 

[rocky_warrior]

This will be over quickly.  But it did disturb Muggsy's morning coffee.

No, we didn't.

Where did I say it didn’t have an impact on us?  I said our diplomatic activities have been mostly wrong through all administrations.

And again, it’s all based in religion, the world’s greatest killer.  Fighting over holy sites and land.  For centuries.

There's never "peace" in the middle east.  Only different levels of tension.  Israel will squash this quickly, back to the normal levels of tension.  Gaza will always be in dispute.  The fact that many there have bomb shelters is really all you need to know.

[Jockey]

Should we cut off aid to Israel? Democracy-even Israeli democracy - is so passé.

Nah.  Each political party needs to appeal to that voting bloc.

Rocky,

I think this could take some time and that this is a much different military operation than we've seen from Israel in the past.  Unless they use hard power but since the world is vehemently antisemitic the optics would be really bad.  All you need to know is Qatar condemned Israel.  This is a s-show.  And if we think losing Israel as our only democratic partner in the region is a prudent decision we better think again.
