Does the US really want to play this game? 90% of Israel’s water comes from desalination plants, and now we’ve given Iran the justification to strike back in a similar manner.

In response to OPs question. I am really wondering if this the point at which the US, especially under Trump, plays the “blame the Jews” card.
We’ve been watching the right wing shift towards anti Israel views. The tucker Carlson crowd etc.
Maybe Trump is too demented. But, I feel like his defining characteristic is to be good at “reading the room”.
I just don’t know where it goes with the evangelical Christians that think this needs to happen to bring back Jesus. That’s literally the 20% of people that always agree with Trump. But, honestly, at this point. I think they will follow Trump and the pastors will give them a reason to hate the “the Jews”.
I just don’t see how Trump gets out of this otherwise.
They (bipartisan USA plus UK, Germany and so on) have zero scruples right now about persecuting the antizionist Jews for opposition against Israel, so when the cannibalising of vassals finally hits Israel they will immediately drop all the pretense and go openly antisemitic.
they will 100% turn against Jews, even all those “I love Israel apartheid and genocide, if you’re against it, you’re antisemitic and hate jews”
I think he risks being returned to the Earth if he turns on Israel.
Israel is a piece. If this war ends up threatening the one true ruler of the US, Capital, it won’t matter what Israel wants.
I think this is the part that a lot of people will eventually be shocked by. Because they are following the wrong “leader”.
Israeli interest and Israeli leaders are absolutely interwoven in American foreign policy. But, if the interest of capital see it within their best interest to drop Israel, they will.
Now, I think this will be mostly symbolic, I don’t think US military support would ever drop. Or even much in terms of capital investments in Israel. But, I can definitely see them using Israel, specifically Benjamin Netanyahu, as a scapegoat for the failures that have already occurred because of the war with Iran.
And, this would bring support in from a lot of Trump’s base that he has lost to the Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes, and Candace Owen narratives. If Trump played it well enough to capture their antisemitism, while at the same time, not entirely alienating his Christian Zionist base by using Netanyahu as “the problem” instead of directly blaming it on Israel.
It’s just my though. My brain is rotted at this point though. I hate all of these people but am way too aware of how they shift and manipulate their narrative when things don’t go as planned. It’s a path forward I could see him taking.
