The Significance of American Support in Israel's Conflict with Hamas
In 1990, President George H.W. Bush was torn between the necessity of pushing Saddam out of Kuwait and avoiding conflict. A phone call from Margaret Thatcher convinced him to take action. Fast forward to today, America's enemies are betting on our weakness. Israel's offensive into the Gaza Strip is crucial for stopping the terrorist group Hamas from gaining more power. If Israel leaves Hamas in place, it will create a bigger terror threat for Israel and may lead to a massive offensive from Hezbollah in the north. Iran, with potential backing from Russia and China, could enter the conflict, leading to nuclear conflict and dragging America into war. On the other hand, if America stands tall and supports Israel, it can help destroy Hamas and prevent further escalation. This can be achieved through providing material and moral support to Israel and using diplomatic power to alleviate the situation in the Arab world.
