Yeah and if they start attacking NATO countries it’s going to end badly for them. The US will drop support like a hot rock. They really won’t like it I’m sure, but they are not going to back Israel over NATO, it’s just not happening.
Do you mean that oopsie with the USS Liberty? That kind of thing happens occasionally but cooler heads prevail as long as everyone communicates. There was also an incident when a Turkish f-16 (Turkey being a NATO member) shot down a Russian su-24, but nobody went to war over it.
Yes I’m just saying that if the sides (even if they are enemies like Russia/NATO) are not interested in going to war, they will tolerate isolated incidents. even with casualties. This isn’t something unique to the america-israel relationship
Yeah, not a conflict. And so long ago that the current political situation is totally different.
The US wouldn’t have a choice, if Israel attacks a NATO country then it’s article 5 automatically. Then their only option would be to leave NATO and they’re not going to do that.
Okay man. Note that nowhere in the comment chain before you decided to chime in did anyone say conflict. And as far as I know, an attack is an attack and it usually warrants retaliation. But Israel gets unlimited oopsies, lord forbid that Egypt or Lebanon does this, it’s immediately casus belli if the current governments aren’t friendly.
They are in the mood to fight everybody. They no longer care about optics. Genocide without borders to be continued.
As long as the US backs them up they feel invincible. I’m sure the nukes help, too. They’re like Russia.

Point stands - Israel attacking a NATO nation wouldn’t cause american support to waver. Israel serves our colonial interests too much for that.

So just being a pedant then.
What do you mean Israel in the United States have never had a conflict between them

You are not arguing in good faith.
