“Would the U.S. respond?” ABC News Chief White House Correspondent Mary Bruce asked repeatedly as the president walked away after the end of an unrelated event. He paused, thought for a moment and then returned to the lectern.

“We are devoted to the defense of Israel. We will support Israel. We will help defend Israel and Iran will not succeed,” he said.

According to one U.S. defense official, the assets being moved to the region include both “ships and aircraft.”

    I’m fixated on the suffering and expansion because it’s currently happening

    I’m not ascribing the sins of a past generation onto a new one, I’m pointing to the sins of the current generation

      Ok. You’re getting lost in the sauce and you’re doing it on purpose at this point. In talking about the significant contingent of Israeli people that oppose settlements.

        What is the point of opposing settlements when what little territory Palestinians have is being actively occupied and being subjected to an apartheid regime?

        The majority of Israelis support the continuation of that situation, and a third support the annexation of occupied territory under Israeli rule.

        Opposition to settlements is a little impotent when their government is actively undermining the security of Palestinians behind a blockade. I don’t get the relevance.
