These heretics think the 12,000 from each tribe are NOT actual Israelites.
Or maybe we’re just tired of them starting wars with everyone around them for our entire lives and openly boasting about their ability to control our domestic politics?
I have zero against Israel, I wish them peace and prosperity.
I just want them to not be the preeminent focus that somehow has to be supported before our own domestic issues because their national interests are not our own.

You don’t think any of their national interests and our national interests can’t and don’t intersect at any point, even just generally speaking?

Not necessarily. Nor do I necessarily care. Nor does that point convince me of anything one way or another anyway. I mean hell, a decent handful of folks amongst us are crowing and boasting that Iran has defeated the U.S. without even having a military to speak of.
You are right to be skeptical of idiots boasting about Iran’s capabilities. Turkey is on a whole nother level. Israel would get fricked without US intervention.

They can. Give me some of your favorites and how Israel has helped us out?

Perhaps occasionally but by and large what they want is not necessarily in our national interest so no I don’t view them as a key allied power whatsoever in a general sense.
They openly and clearly want to be a regional hegemon in the Middle East. We are currently the regional hegemon so that can only come at our expense.
They are openly expansionist. Because that would come at the expense of much more important allies and trade partners like Saudi Arabia and Jordan therefore I oppose it along with the wars and economic unrest it would trigger.
They openly interfere in our domestic politics to a degree unprecedented in our national history and yet many in this thread cheer them on.
Can anyone explain why they think it’s ok for them to influence our primaries and political races via direct and indirect lobbying and donations? How does that benefit America or American voters?

My “favorites?” I don’t know about all that, but for example (not that this question hasn’t been asked and answered countless times now), how about the one(s) immediately in front of us? Iran and its significant nefarious intentions towards both countries, and of course their capabilities to effectuate said ill intentions (capabilities both present and future). And obviously related, the free and unrestricted flow of world commerce through the area, which affects everyone.

Iran presents some problems yes. But prior to this war none of them were ours. The straight was open. Yes Iran doesn’t like us but there was no immediate threat. Iran conflict benefits Israel/US probably 80/20.

True. Turkey does not own any nukes but have about 20 US nuclear warheads on their premises.

Turkey would be able to use those weapons against Israel? That’s what you’re suggesting? Surely not.

No. Saying Israel doesn’t want a piece of Turkey.

Taking away Article 5 requiring US intervention, and remembering the weird coup/fake coup in Turkey a few years back, I wonder if Mossad could neutralize some of the numerical and qualitative advantages of the Turks early on to give the Israelis a chance.
I’d rather neither actually fight, but I get this strange feeling Turkey is a paper tiger on an executional level.

Yet you aren’t sure Israel even has “a chance?”
This is a weird hill for some amongst us to be willing to die on. Question to the above referenced people: If Turkey were to very hypothetically be right on the cusp of “overtaking” Israel (in a war that could be fought in both countries, geographically speaking), what could Israel do as a “last line of defense” to save itself? And does that correspond with, as one poster put it, “smoking Israel?”

Understood. I just believe it’s the other way around.

All of the west and central Asian, middle eastern, and North Africa countries are paper tigers. The Muslim hordes haven’t been effective militarily against the West in like 5 centuries.
But. It’s still relative. The IDF has mastered things like the Iron Dome or David’s Sling etc which are specific to the threats against Israel. But the IDF’s ordinary ground or Air Forces aren’t some level above peers like Turkey or Egypt. Israel relies heavily on conscripts, and much of their hardware like the Merkava is designed for fighting the Palestinians. Not peers that also have fifth generation tanks and the same American hardware/planes.
