...without Israel Iran will run roughshot over the middle east killing loads of people.

Israel is, as of 2024, running roughshot over the middle east, killing 40,000 people.

Then we can go back and forth, I'll ask two questions, you'll answer one of them with some bullshit.

This sounds oddly like the debate surrounding Vietnam during the war, and comprises a lot of debate on the United States of America being the "world police". As for me, the United States has failed to be any sort of world police. There is incredible polarization in its political parties, several territories that are governed yet cannot vote, the last two presidents both lying and suffering from old age, and a well-known problem of candidates being paid off. If the U.S. cannot be run well internally, it has no business meddling with foreign affairs, which includes giving weapons and troops to Israel. Despite the cruelty of Israel, there remains a bigger problem to solve--that being an incompetent nation having an excessively high military and an interventionist outlook.
