Do you think increasing the relative strength of Iran and her proxies in the region will be an improvement in the situation in the Middle East?
As a scientist by training I am used to try things and observe the effects. So far the US tried a lot to strenghten Israel and this never lead to peace, just remember that Rabin was killed by a ultranationalist Israeli that opposed the peace plan.
It is for Israel like fiighting with an armour, because you know tha US will act as an armour. If they know that they will not receive help from the US they will be way more supportive of finding a peace deal with a 2 state solution (the only solution that will bring if not peace but at least something close to it).
Israel is shooting at the UNIFIL force on Lebanon for example. If there were a UN peace corp in Donbass and Putin would shoot the UN peace force, what would you think of Russia?
Having this double standard is reducing the moral authority of the global West worldwide
