With the US having given so much hardware to Ukraine, I imagine that Israel is on its own. If this effort is sustained, I wonder what the US will do, especially if Israel asks for help. Intervention by the US could trigger other countries into action. Or they wouldn’t do shit,iunno.

Hopefully Palestine is able to get out from under the boot with this one.

The US has given plenty of hardware to Israel over the years, and they do a fair bit of domestic production too. I don't think they are hurting for hardware.

And assuming this doesn't explode into a war with neighbouring countries, I don't think this is a situation where hardware is the limiting factor. Both sides are basically relying on guys with guns going in and shooting the people they think need to be shot. That doesn't depend much on fancy high-tech hardware.

Never. Israel is the 51st state.
