I'm not sure if Israel has helped us in any wars, and you're right to point that out. However, Israel is the only real ally we have in the Middle East and is the only stable (and non-radical) democracy in the Middle East as well. Israel has to protect itself from people who want to kill them, and I'm sure you would agree with me on that. If people in Mexico and Canada passionately hated us and wanted to kill us, it would be common sense to keep our troops here and secure our borders rather than sending them somewhere else. That's what Israel has to consider, and is an extreme detriment to their military.

But the point I made about the genocide of the Jewish people is, I personally think, a good enough reason to keep protecting Israel. Unfortunately, there are many other ethic groups around the world who currently face genocide and there are also many examples in history where we had an option to protect people from genocide and chose not to. If I can remember correctly, there was a genocide that occurred in Africa a few years ago and we had an option to help them, but chose not to. Tragically, those people were killed. We should have protected them, and today we have an option to protect Israel from genocide of the Jewish people. However, Israel is a place where we don't necessarily have to send troops to prevent genocide, but simply provide equipment for them.

Are you young enough to enlist to help, if needed?
