We must step up?

I don’t recall, was Israel part of the U.S. coalition going into the Iraq war?

[cowboyusa]

No, but they held back from responding to Iraq because we told them to.

[MNJohnnie]

Nope. The US specifically asked them to stay out to “not inflame the "Arab street" ”.

I was actually talking about this today. At least GW1 which is when I joined. We practically BEGGED Israel to stand down. As Scuds were launched into their territory, they held fast, as we requested, to prevent an escalation.

I remember watching Patriots against SCUDS, respecting how hard it must have been to stay out.

This is a great American ally who will withstand missiles on their homeland to support us. God bless Israel.

The Iraq war was B. S. / what a terrible comparison ....this crap has been a failsafe since the 70’s.....palestinians are fodder to the middle eastern muzzies...no bordering country will allow them entry?.....wonder why? Only money they can earn is to kill Jews and martyrdom ....pay to slay...does not affect me at all I am an American of Irish/Danish decent....I have no problem killing...but leave the brewmaster’s alone or we may have issues!

Israel is the new Pakistan. All those Billions given to Pakistan and they were hiding OBL.
