Haaretz, Gideon Levy: A Toxic Israel-U.S. Relationship Nears Its Breaking Point Amid War
‘'After years of Israel doing whatever it wants, the war in Iran may become a watershed of the relations between the United States and Israel. Severing the unconditional link between the two means Israel will have to decide between creating a different Israel – or having no Israel at all'
'The unhealthy underpinnings of the ties between the United States and Israel should have been uprooted years ago. Without a logical base of common interests, it couldn't have lasted. The role-playing between them became increasingly blurred over the years, to the point that it was unclear which one was the superpower. Israel did whatever it pleased, and immense amounts of aid flowed its way unconditionally.'
'..Israel won't wake up one morning and tell itself that the occupation, the apartheid and its endless wars must stop and that it must also listen to the world. Only severing the link to the United States could bring this about..'
'It's difficult to imagine Israel maneuvering without the United States. It's true that prattlers on the right are certain that Israel doesn't need America, but they'll have to face reality. Suddenly, there won't be arms and money and a veto at the UN Security Council. What then? Will settler leader Daniella Weiss protect us? Will National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir prevent a UN resolution? Will the settlers' Ford Rangers travel to Tehran? That day is closer than all the participants in Israel's march of folly think. Israel will then finally have to decide between a different Israel, or no Israel at all.’
