    If the US put a carrier group in the med and said either you stop or we stop you, Israel would stop.

      Oh really? Hasn’t worked on the Houthis and they’ve been actively striking them for months.

      Aside from that nuclear powers don’t have direct conflicts for obvious reasons. If the US even thought about it Israel would remind them of the Samson protocol.

        The Houthis are a rebel group used to hiding in caves while bombs fall. Apples and Oranges.

        And anyone who is using nukes to cover for genocidal actions needs to lose those nukes ASAP. We don’t let Iran have nukes because we consider them unstable. If Israel is really willing to bomb the entire middle east just to keep killing civilians then they are demonstrably less stable.
