As with any ally, you tend to rely on their support. We have been an ally of Israel since 1948. Horse is right, they do want our help, they need to be able to refuel in flight to get to Iran's nuke sites and because they are about the size of Rhode Island, and are now surrounded by their enemies. If I was surrounded by my enemies I would call my friends for help too.
Those "enemies" were once welcome in Israel and lived in harmony with the Jews until Israel was invaded. Those Muslims in Israel, were forewarned about the invasion and told to get out of Israel. After Israel won that war, they invited their enemies to return to their homes in Israel and live in peace with them again. Instead, the Muslim countries took those Muslims that left Israel, and stuck them in Gaza.
Israel wants to live in peace. Egypt is actually protesting the fact that Israel is lobbing rockets right back! What gall. Israel wants peace but is prepared for war. They will give as good as the get, and we would do well to support them if we want to stay in God's good grace.
As for God not hearing the Jews wailing, Horse is right again. After all God has done for them, only to be dismissed by them, God will let them rely on themselves until only a parcel of them are left.
And then enters God's friend Abraham. God made promises to Abraham and He keeps His promises. Every tribe of Judah will have members survive the next and final holocaust.
God himself will defeat Israel's enemies with confusion and hail the size of horses and will leave NO doubt in Israel's obstinate mind (or their enemies < which will include the U.S.), that God is the protector Abraham's family.
He has put scales on their eyes during the age of the Gentile, as a blessing to the fullness of the time of the Gentiles. That is why they wail and God ignores. But that Gentile era is now at an end.
When Christ touches down on the Mount of Olives, the Jews will recognize Him as their Messiah, and will run to His protection. And God will judge the nations on their treatment of Israel. We are transitioning from a sheep nation to a goat nation, and God is going to kick our ass for turning our backs on our ally, Israel.
