You could almost say that about any conflict (Ukraine, etc.). A country needs partners. You have to choose a side - bad or worse. If you don’t choose, when the worse folks come for you, which they will, then no one will help you.

I am in favor of supporting Israel but comparing the complexity of issues in that conflict to Ukraine is complete and utter bullshit. Ukraine is the victim of an unprovoked attack based solely on one man’s ego and desire for imperialism. Israel has had a major part in creating the enemy they are fighting.
 
Yes. They're the size of New Jersey, so there's probably 10 countries that could turn them into a nuclear ruin and about 20 that could do it conventionally. It is smart. Not sure about someone who thinks that makes them GOAT. Running up up your record against the Little Sisters of the Poor isn't a big resume boost, either.

It’s more that they have legit run through Hezbollah. People can say - well, what do you expect? Most would have not expected them to run the leaders so easily.
 
Okay, they can kick the crutches out from under cripples. Fits their current attitude ,anyway.

Look, they are renowned , and rightfully so, for their special operations. But would you put some of this fanboy BS aside and consider the civilian population and what the final outcome is. Right now, you're the Japanese bragging about how brilliant the Pearl Harbor attack was. You're both absolutely correct. We just don't know the outcome of this one.
 
In re Israeli military prowess: NC 24 runs between Camp Lejeune and Fayetteville, where the former Pope AFB was located. During the Yom Kippur War in October 1973 there was a steady, nearly bumper to bumper, stream of military vehicles from Camp Lejeune to Pope AFB. The US re-equipped, by air, the entire Israeli military after the Arab surprise attack had denuded the Israelis.amd left them vulnerable to destruction. The capability of the US airlift command was previously greatly underestimated by the Soviets and caused an entire top to bottom revision of Soviet plans for invading Europe. Israel can act recklessly and accept long odds because it knows the USA has it back.

But somehow this implicit faith in the US having its back did not stop Israel from accepting secrets about the US nuclear missile submarines from Jonathan Pollard and then selling those secrets to the Soviet Union in exchange for the Soviets allowing Jewish/Soviet nuclear weapons scientists to leave Russia and move to Israel. The US did not benefit from this betrayal by Israel.
 
correction, Matt Bradley (Duke alum) reporting it's likely David's Sling being activated, which deals with ballistic missiles at higher altitudes than Iron Dome.
 
MSNBC has live footage of Tel Aviv, lots of anti-missile missiles taking off. what looks like blown apart shrapnel coming down.
 
sounds like the air raid sirens have stopped in Tel Aviv.

I didn't notice any explosions.
