    I know people don’t like to hear this but Iran has been funding terrorism forever now. Hezbolah, Houtis, Hamas - are all funded by Iran. They also been clearly working on nuclear weapons so you don’t need to do complex math to see why Iran is a threat to Israel. If Iran ever gets nukes 100% they’d be aiming them at Israel or cover conventional attacks behind nuclear weapons.

    As for US, Israel literally exists because it gives US an in to middle east. It’s only real US ally that aligns with west’s freedoms in the region and is capable of executing military and security operations in the region so obviously is a very important subject.

        Sure if you have very limited understanding of geopolitics. Otherwise its much more complex than that but clearly it’s too difficult to understand for some people here cause nuance is scary.

        Not entirely. Their leaders certainly don’t want to continue under the threat of eventual annihilation by Iran. They’re not exactly doing this under duress.
