Why would Israel want a war with a non-contiguous country?I'm so sick of these two countries always itching to take the whole world into a nuclear holocaust!
I hope cool heads will prevail on both sides.

IDF: Iranian Forces Fire Rockets at Israel | Breitbart
Israel has been poking them, they are desperate to start a Shit Storm with Iran, a Shit Storm that they will expect America and other Western nations to fight for them. The situation should be if Israel wants war with Iran, then EVERY nation on this planet should sit back and let Israel do its own fighting, nobody else wants a war with Iran, only Israel wants shit with Iran.
Why did America start a war in Iraq when America has no border with Iraq? Muqtada al-Sadr and his alliance win the Iraqi election, he HATES America,
Why would America start a war with Germany and Hitler? Japan? Vietnam? North Korea? Taken to that extent, perhaps the only moral wars are with Canada and Mexico? But this is a "borderless" world now. Actions around the world can affect a nation strategically, politically, militarily, technologically, socially and economically. Saddam and Iraq may not have directly launched the 9/11 attack, but then, no individual country directly sponsored it, so then, would it have been right not to respond at all? Surely Saddam was in general facilitating terrorism at the time. The new leader in Iraq hates America? Can we know what leader would be in Iraq today had Saddam been left alone? Might he be even worse? That is something we cannot know, so such arguments are futile.
Truth is that no leader in the M.E. "likes" America, we saved Kuwait and do they "like" us? The one true ally we have there is Israel. We may look back at the Middle East and say with perfect 20/20 hindsight that we made mistakes, that things did not turn out as we had hoped, that we had ulterior motives, but ALL nations have ulterior motives. There are NO altruistic world powers. Every nation acts in its own self interest. Israel helps us and befriends us out of self-interest. We help them out of self-interest. I'm not sure why anyone could be surprised by this or hold it against America like we are so wrong or bad. I only wish that Trump would try to keep more of his promise he ran on to be more concerned about what goes on at home and less involved in other nations, but I guess when you become president, you find the realities of the world are different from your ideals.
Meantime, the Jews and Palestinians continue to fight. They've never stopped. You can lay the blame at either side's foot, but the truth is that region, the greater Jordan region, Canaan, whatever you want to call it, Palestine, etc., 9,000 years ago was the place first civilization rose. Before there was writing. While the Mastodon and Mammoth still roamed the Earth. It has been controlled and ruled by maybe 20 different nations and powers we know since. Now all but a small area is resolved, Both the Jews and Palestinians have different claims to the region, both have religious interests and motivations in the region, and Trump neither caused nor rekindled a conflict that has never stopped, and is long from resolved. His actions merely produced a new excuse for the fighting to resume. Little else can be said for sure other than its outcome. Palestine is going to lose and had they the sense to settle many years ago, they'd be much further ahead today.
