Israel doesn't do shit. It is run on US tax dollars. So that makes it quite easy for the Israeli government to be popular, which would make Israel too powerful. Attacks on Israeli citizens is always a sticking point. It is always #1 on the Israeli governments agenda. Because they don't have to worry about anything else like running water, health care, infastructure, military conflicts overseas.

No attacks = way too powerful Israel that the US can't control.

If you have noticed, the US supplies weapons to all of the nearby countries like Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Kuwait, previously Iraq, etc. This is to make sure that if Israel tries to invade any of them, they won't win, so they won't get too powerful.

And that is why the Clandestine Division of the CIA sends weapons to Hamas through Egypt. They want attacks to continue on Israeli citizens so that the Israeli government doesn't get too popular. Hamas/Hezbollah spend over $2 billion a year on weapons.

A cheap rocket costs around $80,000.00 (not including the launcher). And they are firing hundreds per day. Iran/Syria are broke, and they hate the Palestinians, who are Sunnis. And Bin Laden doesn't have the money. Egypt requires foreign aid from the US, so they couldn't do it on their own. And even though they have a peace treaty with Israel, they don't want them to get too powerful either.
