Can EY rely on U.S. committments of support if there was an Arab attack?

can EY really assume that the U.S. will respond with military force if it is attacked?

Of course not. Who has ever assumed that?

The obvious answer to your question is NO.
Honestly? They would be better off relying on the tooth fairy.
Was that even a serious question?

FIrst, as others have said, the US has never promised to fight for Israel, and nobody has ever expected it to. The most we can expect is that It will stand on the sidelines and resupply, as it did in the Yom Kippur War.

The sad truth, however, is that even if the USA had made such a promise, Israel would not be so foolish as to rely on it. The USA has a long and shameful history of abandoning its friends and allies whenever it gets tired or distracted or sees some other opportunity, or whenever some domestic political advantage can be squeezed from it, or whatever.

One of the most dishonorable episodes in US history was when South Vietnam successfully fought off a massive invasion and then turned to the USA to fulfill our solemn commitment to resupply its depleted arms and to provide air support, and the Democrats in Congress refused to fund it, KNOWING AND INTENDING that this would mean our allies would fall to the next attack and would be slaughtered and enslaved. This was unforgivable.

There is no doubt that trump isn’t the “warmonger” that those on the left want you to believe

That being said, this is a stupid decision

And

“Hopefully, EY has today and By’h will continue to have overwhelming military superiority to defend itself but I question the assumption among some Israelis that U.S. support is a given over the longer term.“

אין לנו להשאיר אלא על אבינו שבשמים

Ein lanu lehishoen elo al Avinu shebashomayim…. The sooner we realize this, the faster our Geulah.

Hashem will support israel, whether through america or other venues, as of now it seems like its going to happen through america

אין לנו להשען אלא על אבינו שבשמים

We can only rely on HKB”H. We cannot rely on the Israelis, the Israeli government, the Israeli army or anyone else.

We need to daven to the RBS”O.

אין לנו להשען אלא על אבינו שבשמים

אין לנו להשאיר – Joseph, coffee addict where do you find this expression?

You can say on the president כל הפוסל במומו פוסל Whoever denigrades does it with his own faults. I am rubber you are glue, whatever you say bounces off me and sticks on you.

When one sets a fire, he does not get credit when putting it out with a cease fire.

Joe,

I think you hit the nail on its head

The whole reason trump is doing this (along with his North Korea policy among others) is because of his promise to bring the troops home

Cry me a river for giving a hoot that Turkey is violating Syria’s Hafez Al Assad’s sovereignty.

Were you so worried when Bill Clinton violated Serbia’s sovereignty when he sent troops into Serbia’s Kosovo? That action by Clinton paved the way for Putin to do the same thing in the Crimea.

President Trump, may the RBS”O protect him, grant him health and long life and reign in power for many years as President, has been the Jews best friend in the Oval Office since George Washington.

Joseph, איזהו חכם הרואה את הנולד. you praise Trump who does not look ahead at the consequences of his actions by only caring for himself and not taking advice from others. Our allies are disgusted with the US that it cannot be trusted as Rechavom who did not listen to the advice of the elders, so his rule was diminished.

Ey=eretz yisroel which is a geographical region including parts of Lebanon, gaza,Egypt so pls stop referring tk the state of Israel as “eretz yisroel”

KJ is, of course correct.

Regarding your reference to the United States, the OP’s question would be like asking if the continent of North America can count on British support. But that doesn’t make any sense. Do you mean Canada? The US? Mexico? All of the above? Two of the above? Parts of all three countries?

So if you mean to ask if, say, the United States can count on British support, it would be silly to write that as regarding the continent of North America rather than the United States.

Similarly, but liHavdil, Eretz Yisrael is a geographic area, not a political entity.

The State of Israel happens to be located on a large portion of the landmass of Eretz Yisrael, just as the United States happens to be located on a large portion of, liHavdil, the landmass of North America. That is, as you wrote, the reality “on the ground”.

So the OP’s title should obviously, read, “Can the Sate of Israel rely on..”, and not “Can E”Y rely on…”

The State of Israel not only doesn’t include all of Eretz Yisroel, of course, as parts of Eretz Yisroel is in Lebanon, Jordan, Syria and Egypt, but the State of Israel also includes part of chutz la’aretz, for example Eilat.

What this all amounts to is that the State of Israel, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and the Lebanese Republic all have the same status and category. All three have some parts of Eretz Yisroel and all three have some parts of chutz la’aretz.

People can live in Eretz Yisroel in Lebanon or Jordan and other people can live in chutz la’aretz in the State of Israel.
