I’m also not advocating going to war with Iran. Just trying to get the isolationist to realize that completely pulling out of the Middle East would be a bad idea and would have long term repercussions for the entire world.

Absolutely, without a doubt, all these stupid wars. Even the just ones. Will have repracution beyond what anyone can predict. Thats why, despite our mistakes in the past, we should stand for what is right.

You provide a logical fallacy as the basis for your support of Israel as a means to counter Iranian dominance in the region. Opposition of Iranian influence does not necessitate a bolstering of Israeli defense or making Israel's success a foundational principle of American interests in the region.
Put another way, bolstering Israel because they are the enemy of an enemy is a narrow approach to a complex region. There are numerous liabilities that come along with blanket approval and support of a partner who often acts unilaterally in ways that are detrimental to the interests of other countries who are necessary partners in countering Iranian influence.
If you support Israel because of the Scofield Bible and your personal approach to Zionism, say so. Making an arguement that Israel is the best means to counter Iran is disingenuous and false.
