At first sight the presence of US troops in Syria doesn’t seem to have anything do with Isreal. But recent history shows it has everything to do with it. There is no question that the US stoked the civil war in Syria to destabilize it, most likely at Isreal’s request, since this is helping Isreal’s illegal occupation of the Golan Heights. Both the USA and Isreal provided support to IS with weapons and medical assistance. Also, Isreal has conducted several unprovoked attacks against Syria in recent months, on the pretext that they’re preventing Iranian military forces from operating in the area.
We said it died there.
Military expansion.
Everybody remembers John McCain and all that crazy stuff right? That includes the same Saudi Arabia that Dr. Assad has personally said has not troubled his country in years. They quit doing that, and, while assaulting Yemen, normalized other relationships, including Iran.
Well and good enough until it comes to Israel and it turns out there is something wrong with that.

Yemeni Armed Forces issued on Saturday a statement which affirms that the Yemeni navy will prevent all the vessels from crossing into the Israeli-held ports if Gaza food and medicine needs are not provided.
“After the successful efforts of the Yemeni Armed Forces, with the help of Allah, in imposing its decision to prevent Israeli vessels from navigating in the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea, and due to the ongoing Zionist enemy’s heinous massacres, genocidal war, and blockade against our brothers in Gaza, the Yemeni Armed Forces declare the prohibition of passage for any vessels heading to the Zionist entity of any nationality unless they bring Gaza’s needed food and medicine. Otherwise, they will become legitimate targets for our armed forces.”
In our commitment to the safety of maritime navigation, we warn all vessels and companies against dealing with “Israeli” ports, according to the statement.
The Yemeni Armed Forces affirm their complete commitment to the continuity of international trade through the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea for all vessels and all countries, except those vessels associated with “Israel” or those transporting goods to “Israeli” ports, the statement added.
Ok, perhaps most of the military and political shenanigans are backed by some theories like a New Suez Canal and a bunch of offshore drilling. Israel would continue to do this growth and expansion with no regard for others. Almost like calling an exterminator for some rats in a barn you want to buy. Seems to be the sort of mentality I find around these places.
Notice those industrial projects have gone nowhere and would have difficulty attracting investors.
Unfortunately, yes, the opposite, destruction, is what Israel is pretty good at giving Gaza and yes, obliterating the infrastructure is far more broad reaching than a number of casualties.
As to the, eh, partnership:

Only about a third of Americans polled approve of the Biden administration’s response to the Israel-Hamas war, according to a Pew Research Center survey published Friday.
Among Republican respondents, 51 percent disapprove of the administration’s response, while 28 percent approve. Democrats polled are more split: 44 percent approve, 33 percent disapprove and 22 percent are not sure, POLITICO reported.
That’s an ominous sign for President Joe Biden heading into the election year. The conflict, which began in early October after the Hamas group mounted a deadly surprise attack on Israeli soil, has quickly emerged as one of the biggest foreign policy challenges for the Biden administration.
Divisions on the war are also generational, with younger people expressing deep skepticism of Biden’s response. Respondents under 30 years old were most critical of Biden of all groups: Just 19 percent approved of the White House’s response, while 46 percent disapproved. Older generations were generally less negative in the poll.
That tracks with an increasingly sympathetic sentiment toward Palestinians among young people.
I mean, great. There's no way you could really approve of it. That means on average it is about one third Zionist which means something like 100 million of them. How do you fix that. They are Fundamentalists.
