You can't really say we aren't considering alternatives when I've provided a list of alternatives we did consider all while providing absolutley none of your own.
Tell me what to look at, we'll consider it.
Ideally:
A surprising amount of the film was actually shot on location. The screengrabs here don't do it justice.
That won't stop the genocide though. Israel doesn't need us when they are using snipers to kill little kids.

Jobs will be lost short term, but in 5 to 7 years we'll all be like "Hey, remember AI? LOL!"

"A 2017 LifeWay poll conducted in United States found that 80% of evangelical Christians believed that the creation of Israel in 1948 was a fulfillment of biblical prophecy that would bring about Christ's return and more than 50% of Evangelical Christians believed that they support Israel because it is important for fulfilling the prophecy.[112]
According to the Pew Research survey in 2003, more than 60% of the Evangelical Christians and about 50% of Blacks agreed that the existence of Israel fulfilled biblical prophecy. About 55% of poll respondents said that the Bible was the biggest influence for supporting Israel which is 11 times the people who said church was the biggest influence.[112]"
We would, because the stated purpose for our support is so that Israel can defend against a potential attack.
No US politician is going to argue Israel can't defend itself.
The problem is Bibi and Likud re-directing that support for defense into offense.
