The US seriously needs to halt all export of weapons to Israel. They're enabling them to start a massive war and painting a target on themselves in the process.
I’m assuming the US wants to have some proxy wars in the Middle East though.
why? this is literally only bad for America, both economically and foreign policy wise.

A large portion of the us economy functions most effectively during a war effort.
the last time this was true, it was only true because the America government had gone into a planned economy for WW2
Im failing to see how its bad to sell old stockpiles for big bucks and replenish with more advanced weaponry.
we already did that, that's where the Ukraine aid came from, we don't got much more to sell off
Foreign policy is also questionable considering nearly every direct ally of the US is selling weapons to israel in one form or the other.
not to such a degree, also Israel is one of the big arms producers, if you exclude military aid from the US, they have been selling more than they have bought
The west benefits heavily from a destabilized Middle East.
how? higher oil prices? that's a detriment to the "western" economies and a boon to nations like SA, RU, etc... that's why Russia has been trying to increase the oil prices, because they know it will harm western economies
I've said this before, but I believe Israel is eager to use their nukes and the US is appeasing them. It's the only way I can wrap my head around this.
I'm probably wrong, and am not professionally informed.
Either that or the risk of extremist terrorism from their far-right.
Israël has nukes?
Yes.
Great, just another mentally unstable world leader that can start nuclear war at any given moment when they finally completely lose their sanity.
Yep, it's one of the many reasons Iran and others are so interested in uranium enrichment... To be able to have regional MAD or similar.
MAD?
Mutually assured destruction.
Its a nuclear arms concept check it out
I know the term but I didn't know the abbreviation, thx
They don't deny having them is the official stance.
