Introduction

In this "Post Cold War Era" with the development of nuclear weapons by North Korea and Iran (with of course passive, if not active consent of the East – Russia and China) it comes into question what are the obligations of Israel as a Jewish State versus the United States of America.  For instance, if the United States of America finds it necessary to launch a missile attack on Syria after Syria purchased chemical weapons from Russia (and used these on their own citizens), what is Israel's responsibility to bear?  Should Syria's Causis Belli of a counter-missile-attack to the counter-attack from United States of America remain unanswered on the Israeli side?

The further question for a Jew is, "Where is best for me to live and place my allegiance to — it is in Israel or in the United States of America?  Another question is — in light of the outcome of the Second Lebanon War — "How can a Jew best help the United States and Israel?"

Introduction – Background

I, Stephen James Elliott, was born in the United States of America as a Jew in the relatively small seat of government of Santa Fe, New Mexico (the full name being "The Royal City of the Holy Faith of Saint Francis of Assisi" translated as follows.

From Wikipedia:

Santa Fe (/ˌsæntəˈfeɪ/; Tewa: Ogha Po'oge, Navajo: Yootó) is the capital of the state of New Mexico. It is the fourth-largest city in the state and the seat of Santa Fe County.

This area was occupied for at least several thousand years by indigenous peoples who built villages several hundred years ago on the current site of the city. It was known by the Tewa inhabitants as Ogha Po'oge ("White Shell Water Place").[4] The city of Santa Fe, founded by Spanish colonists in 1610, is the oldest state capital city in the United States and the oldest city in New Mexico. Santa Fe (meaning "holy faith" in Spanish) had a population of 69,204 in 2012. It is the principal city of a Metropolitan Statistical Area which encompasses all of Santa Fe County and is part of the larger Albuquerque–Santa Fe–Las Vegas combined statistical area. The city's full name as founded remains La Villa Real de la Santa Fe de San Francisco de Asís ("The Royal City of the Holy Faith of Saint Francis of Assisi").

My family tree is shown below from my father's side and my mohter's side, bless her memory.  When I was very young — perhaps four years old — I was diagnosed as being a genius, a condition that requires special exercise of the mind to prevent life-threatenining depressive breakdown.

Van Gough, for instance, was a genius, who would express himself with painting so as to not fall into life-threating depressiion.

Vincent Willem van Gogh (Dutch: [ˈvɪnsɛnt ˈʋɪləm vɑn ˈɣɔx] (About this sound listen);[note 1] 30 March 1853 – 29 July 1890) was a Dutch Post-Impressionist painter who is among the most famous and influential figures in the history of Western art. In just over a decade he created about 2,100 artworks, including around 860 oil paintings, most of them in the last two years of his life in France, where he died. They include landscapes, still lifes, portraits and self-portraits, and are characterised by bold colours and dramatic, impulsive and expressive brushwork that contributed to the foundations of modern art. His suicide at 37 followed years of mental illness and poverty.

And similarly the author of "The Old Man and the Sea" – Earnest Hemmingway was a genius who assasinated by not providing a medium for him to express himself.

rnest Miller Hemingway (July 21, 1899 – July 2, 1961) was an American novelist, short story writer, and journalist. His economical and understated style had a strong influence on 20th-century fiction, while his life of adventure and his public image influenced later generations. Hemingway produced most of his work between the mid-1920s and the mid-1950s, and won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954. He published seven novels, six short story collections, and two non-fiction works. Additional works, including three novels, four short story collections, and three non-fiction works, were published posthumously. Many of his works are considered classics of American literature.

And King Soloman as well as King David were geniuses.  My mother and father are geniuses, bless my mother's memory.  And certainly Moses is a genius to such a point that he wrote in the Torah of God that a Prophen (another genius) must truthfully give over his prophesy or die [1].

I currently live Isreal's North.  Given the importance of the alliance between the United States and Israel, a central question is if the intent and actualization of the Declaration of Indepndence [2] and the Constitution of the United Stes of America — is it Torah-bound?  For if it is so, Israel has no less obligation to respnd to a threat or attack against the United States of America as an attack on itself, and also the United States of America has equal burden of defending the Holy Land of the State of Israel, from the Jordan River westward — all of it.  This is because both countries have assumed upon themselvves the Yoke of Torah.  So the attack on one brother is just the same as an attack on the other, with either brother responsible to seek due revenge to remedy the ultimate outcome.

So it is because of the Torah Yoke that Israel placed upon herself — that she takes great pleasure to complete her duties and to save her sister from disasters the like of North Korea, Iran, Labanon, Quator, Syria and Iran and Quatar's Embassy in Gaza.
