Ambassador, your job is to represent American interests in Israel. With that in mind, please explain what we receive in return for our investment in Israel.
How have Israel’s actions in Iran, Gaza, or Lebanon, to name a few, made America safer & more prosperous?
The arms sales argument is flawed logic. We give Israel money so they can buy American weapons—why not just spend our money on weapons for our own inventories?
The intelligence we get from the Israelis can be useful, but our increasing over-reliance on it has caused our own capabilities to atrophy. We are a sovereign nation. We cannot outsource components of our national security to nations that do not share our interests— of course they will put their own interests first. No other nation prioritizes the needs of a different country before its own, because that would be foolish.
Israel can still be a decent partner, so long as we are clear-eyed about the differences between our two countries, and act accordingly. We have to put America’s needs first.
