      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.

      Because war helps economy. Even tho it makes everyone suffer on both sides and last few wars didnt help economy at all unless you sell weapons.

      Also WW2 ended great depression right after unions were legalized and first minimum wage law was signed into law. But yeah it was totally the war that singlehandedly fixed everything.
