they can both afford and figure out bulldozers without us.

our greatest contribution to their war is propaganda statements repeated ad nauseum like "every country should be allowed to defend themselves from attacks" in response to them killing thousands of people after bottle rockets were fired for months on end resulting in 1 house being destroyed.

Iran and Iraq are major oil states in the region

Oil is the #1 reason why Western powers are messing with the Middle East

Israel "not needing" the funding means nothing. The US is just making double sure Israel dominates the region for the above mentioned reason.

Why do you think the US was involved in the Iran Iraq war hmm? https://www.brookings.edu/articles/lessons-from-americas-first-war-with-iran/#:~:text=America%20had%20no%20natural%20partners,choice%20but%20to%20support%20Iraq.

I was talking about airstrikes against terrorists in Syria or Lebanon, or commando operations against nuclear facilities in Iran, not about what they're doing to the Palestinians. For these operations, they might need modern military technology from the US, but surely not their funding.

how exactly is Israel "dominating the region"? please define what you mean.



20 or surely 50 years ago i think this was entirely true. but its not as if Hamas has been gifted blackhawk helicopters or tactical nukes. Israel now does employ a lot more drone strikes tho, so on that aspect it's still true in a way. im not knowledgeable enough on drone systems to know how proprietary they are, as in how likely it would be that Israel could have figured them out without us.

You’d think they could get the technology themselves after ~40 years of constant funding.

I posted examples above already. I thought this was well known stuff

you should check it

israel is liek ukranian, without help of other country there are nothing. this is just the truth.

Israel is not like Ukraine

But Russia/Ukraine is going to be like Israel/Palestine in the sense that it's going to be a never ending conflict

i think it's more accurate to refer to them as an "anti iranian force in the region" than "dominating the region". they don't dominate 90% of the region, and in fact work with all of the other anti-Iranian members of the middle east.

explain why it isnt the same?
