Hey if israel retaliates after it would mean israel attacked a NATO country

Not if Turkiye attacks first. NATO is only a mutual defense pact, it doesn't back first strikes

Edit: I felt like I need to point out that this is what's on paper. That hasn't always been the case historically.

I'm sure Israel would never attack first and never launch a retaliatory strike that is not proportional.

On the other hand I would remind Turkish citizens to not litter the streets of Israel or risk Turkey being bombed.

It's a bit risky, geopolitical situations and all

Maybe Syria, Iran, and India could join in? What fun! Ireland could bring the snacks

India is an Israel ally, unfortunately. They love to trade weaponry with each other among other things like that spyware the government sneaked into everyone's phone.
