America isn't scared of Israel. The problem is that America is run by Jews.
Check out the religion of the members of congress. Then check out where the parties get their funding from.
To save you some time, the answer is The Jews.

The Israeli lobby in the US, AIPAC (American-Israel Public Affairs Committee), has helped exaggerate to the US media and public the importance of making the protection of Israel a key part of US foreign policy.
For the past several decade, and especially since the Six Day War in 1967, the centerpiece of US Middle East policy has been its relationship with Israel. The combination of unwavering US support for Israel and the related effort to invade the region has inflamed Arab and Islamic opinion and jeopardized US security.
This situation has no equal in American political history. Why has the United States been willing to set aside its own security in order to advance the interests of another state? One might assume that the bond between the two countries is based on shared strategic interests or compelling moral imperatives. As you will see below, however, neither of those explanations can account for the remarkable level of material and diplomatic support that the United States provides to Israel.
The overall thrust of US policy in the region is due almost entirely to US domestic politics, and especially to the activities of the 'Israel Lobby. While other special interest groups have skewed US policy in their favor, no group has been so successful at diverting the US national interest from what it should be as the Israel lobby, "while simultaneously convincing Americans that US and Israeli interests are essentially identical."
More important, saying that Israel and the US are united by a shared terrorist threat has the causal relationship backwards: the US has a terrorism problem in good part because it is so closely allied with Israel, not the other way around. Support for Israel is not the only source of anti-American terrorism, but it is an important one, and it makes winning the war on Islam more difficult.
As for so-called rogue states in the Middle East, they are not a dire threat to vital US interests, except inasmuch as they are a threat to Israel. Even if these states acquire nuclear weapons – which is obviously undesirable – neither America nor Israel could be blackmailed, because the blackmailer could not carry out the threat without suffering overwhelming retaliation. The danger of a nuclear handover to terrorists is equally remote, because a rogue state could not be sure the transfer would go undetected or that it would not be blamed and punished afterwards. The relationship with Israel actually makes it harder for the US to deal with these states. Israel’s nuclear arsenal is one reason some of its neighbors want nuclear weapons, and threatening them with regime change merely increases that desire.
You must be thinking this war is about a little insignificant dirty piglet zionist soldier, the dirty Zionists have been preparing for this attack months earlier and was constantly pushing for it, with the goal of destroying the Hamas infrastructure and its government. They are the one who initiated an escalation on 8 June when it assassinated Abu Samhadana, a senior appointee of the Hamas government, and intensified its shelling of civilians in the Gaza Strip. Governmental authorization for action on a larger scale was already given by 12 June, but it was postponed in the wake of the global reverberation caused by the killing of civilians in the air force bombing the next day.
The abduction of the Zionist pig soldier released the safety-catch, and the operation began on 28 June with the destruction of infrastructure in Gaza and the mass detention of the Hamas leadership in the West Bank, which was also planned weeks in advance.

How convenient is forgotten the capture of an Israeli soldier by Gaza citizens , and hundreds of Katusha rockets fired by Hezbollah into Northern Israel. Israel has a right to defend them selves. We have no fear of Israel, it's called "trust" and "loyalty",and it would be nice if other countries discovered what those words meant.I just have to add, people overseas don't realize how easy it is for us to take over two countries, Iraq and Afghanistan, and still project power around the world. I live in the American Midwest, and know of one person that went to Iraq. They came back fine. It is sad we've lost 2,000 people in the wars, but we lose 45,000 people a year on our nation's highways, which is equally sad. We have many troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, and are fighting wars, but it's still a tiny drain on our resources. If we had to focus 100% on a war, God forbid, the American economic and military juggernaut, would simply overwhelm anyone on the other side.By the way, our military spending of 504 Billion is 40%of the worlds, and our GDP of 12 Trillion a year, is one-third of the world's total. All that from one country, the US.To Elisio Lloyd The Arabs don't have lobbyists, Prince Bandar (former Saudi Ambassador to the US)used to be one of the only people in the world that could walk in and influence our President unannounced. Please! Oh and while you're at it google USS Cole, to see where "trust" and loyalty to the wrong persons gets us. At least our men and women fight and die honorably, not killing themselves dishonorably in suicidal "tantrums"!

America has always supported Israel of course and will always. I mean if they start bombing more Arab countries that means less work for the USA.

America hasn't even tried to stop Israel from defending themselves. But I think they will, if things go any farther.

Check the Lobbies.
AIPAC and who is shelling out money to U.S. politicians.
Check the Media, notice who owns a large chunk of U.S. Media and Movie Companies.
Media shapes perception.
Hint: They arent Arabs.
Someone here in another thread said it best when I asked why the U.S. media refers to Palestinians as "arrested" and Jews as "kidnapped".
Both were taken in nearly identical raids.
The difference is the messenger.
P.S.
Arab news sources always refer to Palestinians as "abducted" and IDF as "captured".
Interesting how opinions are molded isnt it?

Speaking of Trust and Loyalty, why dont you google "USS LIBERTY" for some examples of that.

Why would we stop them? Is "America" going to stop a country from fighting someone that "America" calls a terrorist group. If you don't like your neighbor and someone comes a long and starts a fight with your neighbor are you going to help your neighbor. I wouldn't.

Who wants to stop them? I don't. I could care less what Israel does.
I think they'd back off if Arabs would behave themselves and live and let live.
