    Yeah and if they start attacking NATO countries it’s going to end badly for them. The US will drop support like a hot rock. They really won’t like it I’m sure, but they are not going to back Israel over NATO, it’s just not happening.

        What do you mean Israel in the United States have never had a conflict between them

        Do you meant that oopsie with the USS Liberty? That kind of thing happens occasionally but cooler heads prevail as long as everyone communicates. There was also an incident when Turkey (a NATO member) shot down a Russian fighter, but nobody went to war.

          Point stands - Israel attacking a NATO nation wouldn’t cause american support to waver. Israel serves our colonial interests too much for that.

            Yes I’m just saying that if the sides (even if they are enemies like Russia/NATO) are not interested in going to war, they will tolerate isolated incidents. even with casualties. This isn’t something unique to the america-israel relationship
