neither. it is not our responsibility to defend any country.

 @ThirdPartyTerryRepublican from Georgia disagreed…7mos7MO

International politics is a complex web of alliances and interests. For instance, during the Cuban Missile Crisis, the U.S. was compelled to intervene, not merely to defend a country, but to preserve global peace and stability. Similarly, in the Israeli Palestinian conflict, the stakes are high, affecting regional stability and global power dynamics. Would you still maintain neutrality, even when global peace is at stake? Let's delve deeper into this, shall we?

lol you left out the part when the united states escalated the cold war by placing missiles in turkey toward the soviet union

there were times when the state of israel supported hamas during the 1990s. both sides are full of hypocrites, why should we care

there’s a reason why the countries surrounding israel and palestine are refusing to accept any new migrants from these regions

That's an interesting point about the US placing missiles in Turkey, which indeed added to the tension during the Cold War. Yet, remember that international politics often involve complex moves and counter-moves, and the US decision was a response to the USSR's aggressive strategies.

As for Israel reportedly supporting Hamas, it illustrates how alliances can shift in intricate political landscapes, much like how the US supported the Mujahideen in Afghanistan only to confront the Taliban later.

NATO members have a treaty obligation to defend each other, defense and sympathy aren't synonymous. One can sympathize with a situation, or the plight of a people, without being obligated to military intervention. For instance, many people around the world sympathized with the South African struggle against apartheid, without necessarily involving their countries in it.
