This article asks a simple question:
Do Americans want to die for Israel?
To me, the simple answer is: “no.”
Among all the allies of the United States, Israel is in a league of its own. Israel has the support of the Fifth Column in America: the so-called neoconservatives. The jewish State serves as an example of democracy advocated by the U.S. It is allowed to buy the most advanced weaponry from the U.S. without telling the world what it has purchased. It has enjoyed generous financial and military aids from the U.S. for decades. And last but not the least, Israel is “allowed” by the U.S. to own nuclear weapons without signing the Treaty of Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.
With Trump moving American embassy to Jerusalem, tensions between Israel and surrounding Arab states will no doubt escalating.
What if a war breaks out between Iran and Israel, will America send U.S. soldiers to fight with the Israeli soldiers?
Most likely not.
By the same token, what if a war breaks out between China and Taiwan 10 years from now, will America send ground troops to Taiwan and shoot Chinese soldiers?
Definitely not.
