      We have an ally next door, Jordan.

      We’d probably have more allies if we dropped support.

      What we are doing is equivalent to us deciding to support North Korea and being shocked that all of a sudden we lose regional support from just about everyone.

      Israel, especially with an ongoing genocide, is toxic to stability and alliances. It isolates more than it gives strategic advantage.

        Everyone keeps ignoring Jordan but it literally has the best cultural and economic relations with the US. Were they not even together in the anti ISIS coalition?

        But nope, Israeli lobbying is stronger than all of our voices combined.

      Like they really need an ally there to bomb middle east to rubble.

      Looks like allying with Israel has only been detrimental to the US. It’s been great for Zionists who need the US’ protection, though.

      Osama bin Laden cited US’ support for Israel as one of the reasons for the 9/11 attacks.

      Think about the billions, or perhaps trillions, of dollars the US has lost out on because of its support of Israel.

      We need to drop them like a bad habit.

          Re-read my comment until it makes sense.

          I was very clear about my point from the very beginning.

          You say they have value as an ally. What benefit has the alliance had for the US? Did Israel contribute soldiers to Iraq or Afghanistan? Did Israel support the Obama administration’s JCPOA or did they try to undermine it and kill it?

          It’s a one-way alliance.

      Why do we need to be involved in the region at all? We’ve only done more harm than good.

      It’s not misguided it’s reactionary nonsense. It’s people who literally have no idea what they are talking about and it’s obvious to anyone that does.
