No. Israel can take on Hamas without any problems. It might help a bit. If other countries became involved, then it could get dicey, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen, and they're okay as things stand.

However, supporting Israel is pretty popular with American voters, so I expect that some form of aid will happen.

It's because most people view Israel as a bulwark against Middle Eastern nations full of 'evil terrorists and Muslims' (or so they're told). There's also the powerful Jewish lobby and rich donors who can make or break a politician.
