    There are 100 more US soldiers deployed, aren’t there? I’m not a US citizen, but I still wonder why more troops are needed to help Israel in an war of aggression that violates international law.

      Yes it’s an anti-missle battery and a crew of 100 to operate it. Presumably this includes 7-day around the clock shift coverage so it sounds like a reasonable number for a large missle array.

      Lol,maybe because Hezbollah rockets are getting launched and we’d like to shoot them down before US personnel are killed potentially escalating this even further?

          You’re both right. We want to protect our servicemen there from Hezzbollah rockets and they shouldn’t be there in the first place.

        So we’re sending more personal instead of getting them out of the situation? Gymnastics.

        Let the rockets rain down and stop this madness before the fascist state of Israel kills us all.

        Do Americans really believe they’ll be able to get their pet monster under control once they genocide the entire Middle East?

        “Greater Israel” is just going to keep expanding unless they’re stopped now. Do you think Nazi Germany would just say “ok we have enough land for the master race / chosen people let’s stop now”.

        Do you really think America will have any power once it gets to that point?

        The world let Zionists get away with the Nakba at the time because of the Holocaust, but now the Zionists and the United States are the ones doing a Holocaust.

        Israel is a failure of humanity and an affront to Jewish people everywhere, hijacking the religion in order to build a white supremacist, genocidal, settler-colonial apartheid ethnostate with a Star of David slapped on it.

        Israel must now be dismantled, land back to the Palestinians, the architects of this Holocaust brought to justice, and the people deprogrammed out of their genocidal cult.

          I don’t think any Americans who truly support this think further than the next quarter of Raytheon profits.

        Gtfo. If you need to play wargames maybe send some more support to Ukraine instead.

          Yeah, USA would rather participate in a genocide in palestine than prevent one in ukraine.

        I’ve got an idea to prevent this from escelating further: Depose Netan-fucking-Yahu.

        The UN and the US Citizens would praise it if anything. China and Russia would say shit about it but they also say shit about us doing nothing. We can literally only gain from destroying the Israel current administration.

          Absolutely. However, there is no need to destroy anyone. It would be enough for the US to give up its unconditional support for the Netanyahu regime. Then Netanyahu would be voted out and would go to prison for corruption in his own country.

            Ok but that does nothing to stop genocide, land theft, terrorism, invasions, etc.

            It’s a joke to pretend like yahoo is the root problem.

              I’m just trying to suggest a somewhat reasonable solution. I don’t think Israel could afford to keep this inhumane war going if they didn’t have the support of the US. Let us also not forget that it was radical right-wing Zionists who assassinated Yitzchak Rabin, the Israeli politician who first credibly promised peace in the region. What I want to say is this: Violence and hatred cannot be a solution - this only leads to more violence and more hatred, more misery and more suffering.

        Who is “we”?

        Maybe I’d have some sympathy for you if y’all stop with the genocide, terrorism, ethnic cleansing, land theft, invasions, etc.
