Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has ordered a limited number of U.S. troops to prepare for deployment in support of Israel, as reported by multiple sources.
Approximately 2,000 troops have been selected to be on standby for advisory and medical assistance.
The troops will be drawn from various branches of the U.S. military, including those already stationed in the Middle East and nearby Europe.
While their specific units and deployment locations have not been disclosed, it has been emphasized that they will not have a combat role.
The U.S. is extending support to Israel, which is engaged in a conflict with Hamas, primarily focusing on intelligence and planning assistance for potential hostage rescue operations.
So this is what its like watching a powder keg get packed. I am not fighting in WW3 for sake of an apartheid state. They pushed these people to their breaking point. If you don’t want devils, stop forcing people to live in hell.
I read a very enlightening comment earlier, that explained how the Netanyahoo regime and Hamas were co-dependent. Because Hamas keeps being terrorists, Netanyahoo can stay in power, and because the IDF keeps killing Palestinians, Hamas keeps getting support.
USA fighting by proxy at the least. To combine parts of what two other commenters said, “I do not support this” “…apartheid state.”
BDS. Free Palestine 🇵🇸
Agree in general but the thought is that US involvement comes if Iran fucks around in the west bank.
Israel doesn’t need physical US help obliterating civilians in gaza
I sure as hell am not fighting for Israel either. Their government can rot for all I care.
