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.

    Politics. US is ally with Israel but notxwith Iran, US isn’t the world police but a country defending their interests which includes their allies.

    I somehow hope, that this slow drone attack is also some political theatre like, we shoot some drones to protest our embassy bombing, but we won’t go further

      US politicians are unfortunate hostages to their bigger sponsors / financiers. Most of the players on both sides of the US political spectrum have been funded by israeli or pro-israeli contributors. We call Israel an ally, and that’s a nice coat of shiny paint to hide the Stockholm syndrome.
