Smaller threats like Al-Qaeda we simply find out who in the neighborhood also hates them, slip them a suitcase of cash and a gun and maybe a car ride to take care of the issue.
And we'll find that out.....how? Even if we assume you can knock out a large organization like that with a few assassinations (you can't, BTW, we escalated to a full on war with military hunter-killer teams and still didn't manage it), finding both the people we want dead and the people who want them dead is the sort of thing you need really good intel for, intel we don't have and have historically struggled to obtain.
Israel is not our concern, it is an Anti-Semitic Apartheid State holding two territories full of indigenous Palestinians in open air prison camps with routine collective punishment. And last I checked Palestinians are Semites which makes the Israeli Actions even worse.
The perhaps the Palestinians shouldn't have voted terrorists into power and adopted a foreign policy of "kill jews first, do anything else never". Because their present situation is the logical conclusion of that behavior.
We as a nation can't tolerate or be part of that shit.
We can and have tolerated that and so much more. We buy piles of stuff made with Chinese slave labor, butter up the saudis despite their own horrific human rights record, stay allies with Pakistan despite them actively aiding and sheltering Bin Laden, etc.
It's very strange that intolerance for alliances with allegedly inhumane regimes only seems to apply to Isreal, and none of our other morally dubious allies catch near as much flak.
closing our missions in Israel, closing all but their UN mission in the US,
Those are both
massive diplomatic insults, and are basically only done to countries we're outright at war with.
revoking the non-profit status of their advocacy groups and enforcing applicable laws,
It's unconstitutional to just arbitrarily revoke non-profit status like that.
In which case we aren't the ones getting the ire of the downtrodden masses in the MENA region
It's been pointed out several times that our alliance with Isreal is not really the root issue of our problems in the middle east.
In return all the money we wasted on Israel, and all the knock on effects that follow it, can instead be invested right here in America to fix our infrastructure.
1. We just spent like a trillion dollars on infrastructure, and arguably didn't need it to, because our infrastructure is
fine.
2. It's hilarious that you think merely because we spent money on something else already, that the government would be deterred from spending even more money on something else.
3. US aid to Israel is only a small amount, a couple of billion dollars, and it's not actually "aid" as in no strings attached money they can do whatever they want with it. They are obligated to spend most of it buying weapons and equipment from US defense contractors.
It's corporate welfare for US defense contractors.
