Israel is surrounded by enemies looking to take advantage of a moment of Israeli vulnerability. Simply moving aircraft carriers gives those enemies pause.
Getting involved in this way prevents conflicts from spiraling.
You're not at all wrong my friend. The US should have moved the carriers there, but they should not have allowed this situation to develop as it has in the first place.
Because it's presumably cheaper to park an aircraft carrier in the area than to take the economic impact at home that an escalation would lead to (due to rising oil prices etc.)
Why does the U.S. military think they need to get involved in every conflict in the world?
$$$$$$
How are the defense contractors, and politicians going to get PAID if we aren’t constantly at war somewhere.
You don't maintain the trillion dollar funding of a war machine by avoiding conflict now do you? That would be silly…
Israel is a US client state - and it's obvious to the US that Israel is not as capable of dealing with the situation as they had hoped.

That tends to happen when you displace a bunch of people from where they live and say this is mine now.

It's not cheaper for the country, but it is more profitable to the private military contractors
