Historically, the US has specifically asked, at times forcefully, Israel not to involve itself in US fights, even when they impacted Israel. This was especially true in the gulf war.
Not you but some just want to bad mouth the US. No matter what they do they will find a negative angle. I will call out that crap every time.

Definitely no source for that. You are trying to twist allowing US soldiers getting hit and not responding as something positive, and I am not.

Take out these sites as if the attacks were launched at Israel. That is what the US did for Israel.
Now read the part that you cut out of my post.

Removing ourselves from the vacuum of the war in Israel for a second, if our bases were attacked and the US didn't respond, wouldn't you have a problem with that? And if you didn't, for whatever reason (could be legitimate, strategy or whatever), why would you have a problem with another American calling out the government for not responding to attacks on our soldiers? Why is that bashing our country? How is that not an expression of patriotism? He may not be correct, and there may be very legitimate strategic  reasons for the US to not respond, but that doesn't mean he's coming from a place that needs to be called out.

Criticizing Trump's foreign policy was somehow not called "bad mouthing the US".

I don't know anything about the subject to even have an opinion about whether the US should have made these strikes weeks ago, if they are insufficient, or too much. But someone else having an opinion doesn't mean they are bad mouthing the US.

America has virtually always had Israel's back, infinitely more than any other country. For that I am extremely grateful. There are times when even that support comes with certain pressures I believe have been harmful to Israel. And there have been times I believe the US has not had Israel's back. Criticizing them then doesn't minimize or cancel out the gratitude.

Not really feasible. They have to let the families know, and then the media finds out anyway. Better the announcement comes from the military so people don't lose trust and think that they are being lied to.

So why publish it in the media for all to see and lament the almost daily casualties?  Surely the gov, media and bereaved families can come to an understanding to keep it as private as possible for the sake of welfare of the country and its morale etc...

When you say the US or Biden didn't respond when they did is bad mouthing the US and not being honest.

They have differences and that is fair game. I don't see Israel saying anything about the US response to these attacks. All I see from Israel is nothing but gratitude towards the US. Israel is not the problem.  ;)

@cv

Finally, although, not sure if striking a weapon warehouse cuts it for a proper response. If it was 2 warehouses per attack, maybe we would be talking.
Just read my post before adding another 2 pages to the thread.

Where does Israel come in here? US gets attacked, US should not allow that to go on.

Let me rephrase. Anything they say needs to be reported.
Why?? Who cares what they say? Rapists and murderers should be ignored, not quoted.
 
If it is false, it will be shown in a short order of time.
Says who? And if it does get revealed, it can be after great damage has been done, like the hospital lie.

We all know most of what they report is false, an exaggeration or a flat out lie.
So why give a mouthpiece to their lies? It only helps spread the propaganda.

Finally? No, they already did strike before this latest one.
I am not going to search for your other post where you claimed they did not strike.

This is the Israel/Hamas war. The US does not want it escalating and they especially don't want to be dragged into it. Anything they do takes that into the calculation.

Are you serious? When a two-year-old hits a 20-year-old should they hit them back every time?
There was a drone strike that hit a barracks where it didn't explode. It would have killed many US servicemen. If that would have exploded many of you would have got your wish.

There is an Israel/Hamas war going on. No need to worry about the US.

ETA: Start a thread about this in politics and we can go at it.
