United States is rapidly increasing support to Israel. This assistance includes the deployment of warships and aircraft to the region, with a second carrier strike group dispatched from Virginia.

Special operations forces are aiding Israel in planning and intelligence, with the initial shipment of munitions already delivered.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin is set to meet with Israeli leaders to discuss further aid. The U.S. is primarily focused on deterring potential regional conflicts, with a particular emphasis on Hezbollah and Iran.

The U.S. is also sending Navy ships, including aircraft carriers, which provide various capabilities, and has ordered additional warplanes for Middle East bases.

When was the last time USA sent that much support during which Israel was bombing Gaza, anyone? anyone?

I don't know about you, but I'm now starting to consider something is being cooked.

When was the last time the US had issues with supporting an entity that violates human rights and commits war crimes.

Plenty of examples of the US arming those up. Only to later start a war against them.
