    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.
