The US is doing a lousy job of preventing attacks on Israel. Who are they protecting? Political posturing!

Earth to EK, and pardon me, for asking, why is it the job of the USA to prevent Terrorist attack on Israel?
Maybe Ek, you could make a case, that when the Arabs screamed NIMBY in 1948, some of it was based on antisemitism.
Since then, Israel has become the mid-east neighbor from hell, that becomes a terrorism magnet. As Israel refuses every chance to make any mid-east friends and now the main issue is when Israel will give up lands it can never own.
But we have been there and done that in debating this matter on thread after thread. Why have just another pissing contest?
We can't solve this on Anand Tech. But Israel is losing the support of the international community at the most rapid rate in Israeli history. Right now the USA support is the whole ball game for Israel, and the question now, is how much longer can the USA keep extending Israel a blank check with no matching Israeli moral collateral to back it?
EK, I don't think its all that produce to have a pissing contest over the Israeli past and its ever continuing unjust repression of 3 + million Palestinians, when I want to talk about the future and ask how much longer Israeli bullshit can last.**
** Why should we rule out Israel changing policy and becoming a valuable asset to the mid-east neighborhood? The win win solution.
