      That’s a reasonable question calling for a reasonable discussion. However, I’ve given up trying to find one on this chat board.

      The first question I would have, though, is use of the word enabling. Do you honestly think Isreal could not pursue this war without the US?

      Clausewitz wrote that “war is politics by other means.”

        Could Israel not pursue this war without the US?

        They could get weapons from other people or build them themselves, but the real question is could Bibi keep his coalition together with various international pressures applied. As soon as an election is called - if the hostages are not back … well everyone knows what happened to Jimmy Carter.
