What if the USA quit arming Israel?

Does that iron dome get Palestinian people killed or prevent peace?

If nothing else, the US's decision to continue arming Israel enables it to continue the settlement building & occupation. The iron dome doesn't actually kill anyone, to my understanding.

The United States tried that once. Was it '67 or '72? I forget. The result was that Israel fought with what was available and defeated their enemies anyway. They also managed to build the worlds best battle tank without any outside help, and somewhere along the way developed their own nuclear weapons.

Which do you suppose would get the most Palestinians killed, Israel using the Iron Dome to block their rockets from being fired into Israel, or Israel having to use other means to stop rockets from being lobbed at civilians? Seems like a no brainer.

And this is assuming they couldn't build their own version of the Iron Dome which most likely they could, so realistically you put the Americans out of work who were building the military hardware being sent to Israel, Israel builds their own missile defense system anyway, and probably more dead people on both sides while Israel is getting their system up and working.

Israel has no choice, they will remain armed, If not the US then someone else, or they will build what they need themselves. If all that is left is their nuclear weapons they will use them. Never Again will they sit back and do nothing. Never Again.
