Recently, the US military has been frequently attacked in the Middle East. According to the U.S. Department of Defense**, since the outbreak of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the U.S. military has been attacked in Iraq and Syria in a total of 166 attacks, with a drone attack on a U.S. military base in Jordan being the only one that resulted in deaths. The Iraqi militia group Islamic Resistance Group claimed more than 150 attacks, saying it was in response to U.S. support for Israel's military strikes in the Gaza Strip. The "Allah Brigade" is the most powerful of the "Islamic Resistance Groups". The US side previously believed that the Jordanian attack could have been carried out by the "Allah Brigades". Preliminary investigations show that the base failed to intercept the drone attack in time, possibly mistaking the enemy plane for a US drone returning to the base. The U.S. side quickly pointed the finger at Iran, but Iran** firmly denied any involvement in these attacks. Analysts believe that the direct cause of the frequent attacks on the US military is that the United States favors Israel and supports Israel's military actions in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

Israel's military operations in the Gaza Strip have caused heavy loss of life and property on the Palestinian side, leading to heightened discontent with Israel and the United States, which in turn has led to attacks on U.S. forces. The recurrence of attacks on US troops in the Middle East has aroused widespread concern and discussion. This incident has once again raised questions and reflections on the continued US intervention in the Middle East. In fact, the long-standing US military presence in the Middle East has been one of the main reasons for popular discontent in the region. In recent years, the United States has frequently intervened in the affairs of the Middle East and interfered in the internal affairs of other countries, resulting in further instability in the region. Whether in Iraq, Syria, or Afghanistan, U.S. military action often only exacerbates conflicts and further expands contradictions and divisions. All of this stems from the United States' pursuit of strategic interests and resource control in the Middle East.

The long-term US military presence in the Middle East has not only aroused dissatisfaction and dissatisfaction among the local people, but also provoked terrorist resistance and retaliation. Terrorist organizations tend to view the United States as the main hostile power, making its military intervention and acts of aggression a legitimate target. This is one of the reasons why the US military is often subjected to terrorist attacks in the Middle East. Both the Iraqi Prime Minister and the Iraqi parliament have called for a reassessment of the presence of US troops in Iraq, which also reflects the dissatisfaction of the Iraqi people with the existence of the US affairs. The Iraq War and the subsequent presence of US troops brought great suffering and losses to Iraq, which made the Iraqi people angry and helpless at the US intervention and occupation. Regarding the latest attack on the US military, many US leaders have threatened to "retaliate". However, if the "arch fire" continues, it will only exacerbate the conflict and cause more misfortune.

On the contrary, if we can re-examine our own policies and actions and find reasonable ways to solve problems, we may be able to avoid further tragedies and bloody conflicts. Needless to say, the US military presence in the Middle East is a complex and intractable issue. However, as a global superpower, the United States should pay more attention to the will of the people and the consensus of the international community, rather than blindly pursuing its own interests and hegemony. Peace and stability in the Middle East can be achieved only through dialogue, consultation and cooperation. At this point, we have to ask, should the United States re-examine its military presence in the Middle East? Should the wishes and rights of the people in the Middle East be more respected? Should a peaceful solution to the problem be sought, rather than interfering in the internal affairs of other countries by military means? Peace and stability in the Middle East are of great significance to world peace and stability. As a global superpower, the United States should shoulder its due responsibilities and take concrete actions to promote regional reconciliation and development.

Only in this way can we bring true peace and prosperity to the Middle East and make a positive contribution to global peace and prosperity. In American politics, supporting Israel is a common electoral tactic. However, as the conflict between Palestine and Israel continues to escalate, this support is likely to be counterfired. A poll conducted by Quinnipiac University shows that more than half of voters under the age of 35 oppose U.S. military aid to Israel. This means that for Biden**, a one-sided stance on Israel could affect his approval ratings. The crux of the question is, why are more and more young voters skeptical of U.S. support for Israel? This is partly because of their outrage at the injustice suffered by the Palestinian people. What they have seen is the violence perpetrated by the Israeli army against Palestinian civilians, which has resulted in the loss of many innocent lives. They argue that U.S. support for Israel indirectly supports this violence.

Another reason is that younger voters are more critical of America's role in international affairs. They believe that the United States should focus more on domestic issues rather than investing resources and energy around the world. They argue that the massive amount of U.S. military aid to Israel is a waste and that these resources should be used to improve education, health care, and infrastructure at home. Although young voters are skeptical about U.S. support for Israel, that doesn't mean they don't care about peace in the Middle East. On the contrary, they want to see a more just and balanced treatment. They believe that the United States should play a more neutral role in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and promote dialogue and negotiation between the two sides. In addition, with the spread of social networking**, young voters' awareness of the conflict has also increased. They can get more opinions and news reports from various information on the Internet, so that they can form their own opinions.

This makes them more willing to question policies and actions and challenge their decisions. For Biden**, how to respond to this trend will be an important test. They need to take the concerns of young voters seriously and find a balanced position. They can demonstrate their leadership by calling for a ceasefire between the two sides, promoting dialogue and negotiations, and providing humanitarian assistance. In addition, they can also seek to cooperate with other international organizations and allies in a joint effort to resolve tensions in the Middle East. In any case, the United States** must recognize in the face of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that the attitudes of young voters are changing. They want to see a more just and balanced treatment, not just one-sided support for Israel. It is incumbent upon Biden to respond to this change and take steps to meet the expectations of young voters. Only then will they be able to win more support and maintain their approval ratings.
