We give them all the airplanes & military might they can stand. Fine, you think it's none of our business, then don't use our planes, bombs, etc. Also, he knows very damn well that if Israel get into this war, they will come running to us begging for more weapons and will want us to bail them out of their stupid illbegotten mess.

I wish American pols would be brave enough to say "FU" to the zionists and let them be bear the brunt their own hubris, but NO, that will never happen. We'll get dragged into the melee and end up paying for the entire misadventure. That's why they'll do it.
