They don't actually like Israel. They like Iran, which is why their mouthpieces in the GOP were trying to get the US not to attack. But, like all bullies, when it's time for them to stand up for their friends, they suddenly have this big explanation which no one needs to believe why it's not a big deal and they were actually always good friends with the other guy.

Besides, what would they be able to send even if they wanted to or cared what happens to the people of Iran? A gift card? They're fighting a country smaller than California and getting all fucked up, and they have nothing really to spare at this point anyway. Iran is the breadwinner in that relationship.
