    The Gaza invasion will be very dirty urban combat, and urban combat always involves heavy losses on both sides. I highly doubt the US is willing to send men to their deaths for this cause so I’m sceptical to what extent the US will be able to help. And as Palestine doesn’t have an air force or navy I don’t suspect Israel needs help on those fronts.
