Since you're not neutral, I decided to ask Google: "Did US aircraft carriers provide aid to Israel during the Arab-Israeli wars?"

And here's what it answered:

AI Review

Yes, US aircraft carriers and carrier strike groups (CSGs) played a vital role in supporting Israel during the Arab-Israeli conflicts, serving both as a deterrent to adversaries and as a means of ensuring supply security.
Key Facts:
Yom Kippur War (1973): During the conflict, the US deployed aircraft carriers to the Mediterranean, and ships of the 5th Fleet provided cover for supplies while the US began massive military aid to Israel. Deterrence: American aircraft carriers regularly deploy to Israel during periods of heightened conflict, such as in 2023-2024 (including the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower and USS Gerald R. Ford), to support Jerusalem in its standoff with Iran and Hezbollah.

Operational Support: In May 2021, American troops were also present in the region during the Gaza War, underscoring the defense alliance between the two countries.

Overall, the presence of American aircraft carriers serves not only as direct military support but also as a show of force, designed to prevent third parties from intervening in Arab-Israeli conflicts on the side of Arab states or Iran.

American carrier strike groups played a vital role in the Arab-Israeli wars!

"Deterrent" is nothing. For example right after 7 Oct Biden sent AC as "deterrent" force. Yet Hamas kept firing thousands of rockets at Israeli towns, Hezbollah also joined the war and fired thousands of rockets at Israeli towns. Houthis attacked ships sailing to Israel and later started firing ballitic missiles at Israeli towns. Then also Iran fired ballistic missiles.

Only when Israeli army beat Hamas and Hezbollah rockets stopped.

So what that "deterrence" did? - One big beautiful NOTHING.

This sort of thing is done too often by Israel. The people involved seem to be sociopaths yet other Israelis refuse to condemn their actions. Some even celebrate. I am certain Israelis would be outraged if similar murder were committed against them.

I see a lot of theoretic talks about US ceasing to aid Israel. I think it's important that people wake up and look at realities. Israel may have tarnished their reputation, but they still have the what it takes to brat up, invaded and hold what they want. Long run or short run doesn't matter. As long as US doesn't implode. No one will dare do anything to Israel. Look at Europe, not a single sanctions on Israel despite what has been going on. And economic sanctions is a tool to make somewhat dumb allies start behaving properly. All we see from some European countries are individual steps.
