We don't care about Israel. Anyone who threatens the petrodollar will be bombed by the USA. If the USA can't guarantee safe shipping of oil, the dollar stops being the world's reserve currency and every dollar you have will only buy about 10 cents worth of whatever you want to buy. This is all about the petrodollar, not Israel and not religion.
The petrodollar is even the real reason we care about nukes: it's about nukes around the petrodollar. No one cares about North Korean nukes because they don't threaten the petrodollar.
When Iran tried to make oil pay a toll in Chinese Yuan/RMB (attempt at creating a petroyuan) USA immediately deployed battleships to blockade any ship who paid the petroyuan toll because oil must be sold in petrodollars any who oppose this will know war. The second the strait was open the blockade of anyone who paid the yuan toll was blockaded by the US Navy.
