Blood for Israel?

[Erastothenes]

ADS-B tracks aerial traffic around the world. As long as an airplane has its transponder on you can see wheres its going. Wheres its been. Its altitude, speed, angle etc. Saturday evening/Sunday morning the military traffic consisted of just about nothing but C17s and KC135s with the odd C5 thrown in for good measure. The amount of traffic was staggering. As an aviation buff I have never seen this many cargo planes over the US and Europe. War is imminent. So my question is this. Does America have a responsibility to protect Israel? If you believe so then do you support your sons and grandsons getting drafted to die for the Khazarians?

The U.S. has given non-combat support to Israel's military forces for years without committing its armed forces, except for possible clandestine ops not generally known. The U.S. Constitution 1.8.11 requires a declaration of war by Congress for commitment of armed forces to ant combat role.

As for the U.S. providing armaments to any other country, that, to me, constitutes foreign aid, which I believe is unconstitutional.

The United States of America have multiple congressionally approved treaties concerning the allyship and defense of Israel. Essentially an attack on one is an attack on both. The United States of America and Israel have a legal responsibility to one another to ensure the defense of the national interests of both nations. Now we can debate whether or not we should revoke or maintain these treaties, but as it stands right now Israel is an official ally of the United States of America and therefore has a responsibility to uphold our mutual defense agreement. The president of the United States of America cannot pick and choose which treaties and international declarations that have been ratified by congress to uphold. Aside from this, Israel is the only nation in the middle east, other than Saudi Arabia that we have such agreements with and therefore it is pivotal to protect their interests in the region. If you do not like this then you can of course contact your representative and senators to vote on breaking or renogotiating current treaties and agreements.

"The United States and Israel have signed multiple bilateral defense cooperation agreements, to include: a Mutual Defense Assistance Agreement (1952); a General Security of Information Agreement (1982); a Mutual Logistics Support Agreement (1991); and a Status of Forces Agreement (1994)."
