How is the US able to instantly stop an attack from Iran but powerless when Israel attacks hospitals? - eviltoast

I’m missing something here. Admittedly, I’m making the assumption that blowing up hospitals is a bad thing to do.

    Alliances like NATO or the EU come with non-aggression stipulations. You can’t engage in warfare with an ally. If that ally happens to be bombing their own people, that would only allow for intervention if it was written into the accords signed by the nations in the alliance (hint: it’s not).

    Now, if Israel started bombing Italy, for example, that would not only allow for an intervention; it would require one.
