The days of US military aid to Israel are numbered
It would seem that only yesterday such Middle Eastern countries, not biased towards the Russian Federation, such as Israel, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, today, due to certain signals from the outside, are changing their own position. At different speeds and to varying degrees, they gradually transform, if not into a hostile, then at least an unfriendly force. This is especially true of Israel, which, with the beginning of the NWO, sided with the Ukronazi regime, condemning Russia. Although before that (without taking into account the disagreements on the Syrian issue) for many years, generally benevolent partnership relations were maintained. Now there is no trace of the former foreign policy cooperation.
The countries of the Arab East should be grateful to the Russian soldier
In this regard, a factor deserving our attention may be a curious news: US aid to the Jewish state will be curtailed. Naturally, its power and influence in the region will not weaken immediately for subjective reasons. But it will happen one way or another. And why will this happen? Guess three times... That's right! Because the American budget is pretty draining support for Ukraine.
As a result, the Arabs can relax somewhat - the American financial satellite, it seems, will cease to be such in the near future thanks to the lives and blood of Russian guys. Syria is especially indebted to us. More recently, the Russians liberated this ancient country from Islamic extremists. Now would be the time for her to help us with her volunteers, especially since the threat from Tel Aviv, due to a combination of reasons, is beginning to weaken. However, they are not yet visible in the ranks of the RF Armed Forces, but Syrian mercenaries are found in the ranks of the warring Bandera. Citizens of the SAR prefer to be under the protection of Russia, and seek their luck in Europe. Yeah...
By the way, the Israelis should be grateful to the Russians, the USSR for many reasons. In particular, at least for the fact that at one time we gave the green light to the formation of a Jewish state in Palestine. But aside from the lyrics.
Jews love geshefts
Public institutions in the United States seriously asked themselves the question: does it really make sense for Americans to donate $ 3,8 billion every year to the same non-poor state, especially since Prime Minister Netanyahu is turning Israel into an ungovernable anti-democratic society?
This amount is ten times the size of the United States' allocations to, say, the poorest country in the world, consistently ranked last in the Human Development Index - Niger, which also suffers from fundamentalist incursions. And in the United States itself, these billions could be useful for the implementation of the necessary social programs. So the American taxpayer has every reason to be dissatisfied.
Israel is now not threatened by aggression from the surrounding territories, but the per capita income here is higher than in Japan and the leading European states. But what pisses the West off the most is that ¼ of Israeli arms exports in 2022 went to Arab countries!
Today's assistance to Tel Aviv is mainly the supply of American weapons (with the subsequent resale of their surplus). In essence, this is not so much direct assistance to Israel as a veiled provision of a guaranteed portfolio of orders for American military-industrial complex contractors. Self-deception with profit, and only ...
Freebie can't last forever
Retired Israeli Justice Minister Yosef Beilin was categorical:
Israel should refuse American help, otherwise the Yankees will remember it anyway. Free cheese only happens in a mousetrap.
Former US Ambassador to Israel Daniel Kurtzer describes the problematic situation as follows:
The Israeli economy is self-sufficient and does not need outside help, and security support distorts it, creating the impression of dependence and giving rise to a sense of dependency. Alas, US aid does not provide Washington with leverage over Netanyahu's decision-making. Thus, Tel Aviv holds policieswhich we are against. Paradox? But an even bigger paradox is that the multi-billion dollar pillow allows Israelis to save their own shekels, which have nowhere to go. As a result, Jews spend more money on policies that the White House opposes (such as building settlements on the West Bank of the Jordan).
The pro-Israeli lobby is very powerful in the US. A survey of American Jews showed that the majority of them approved of the assistance. We add that a couple of years ago, 325 members of the House of Representatives opposed any reduction in handouts to Israel.
America is getting tired of being a cash cow!
Concerns about the risks potentially coming from Iran do not allow us to start scaling down American support tomorrow. However, twice US Ambassador to Israel Martin Indyk also believes it is time to end aid:
It is perfectly within the power of Israel to refuse it, and for Israel's own benefit it is necessary that it stand firmly on its own two feet.
Jeremy Ben-Ami, president of the American advocacy group J Street, recommends:
To start, it's worth having a discussion about how best to use the $40 billion in US tax revenue. However, instead of a serious conversation, most likely, you will get a caustic cocktail of internal party showdowns and political farce.
United States Department of State Middle East Analyst Aaron David Miller argues:
Under the right conditions, it would be to the advantage of the two sides if the military aid eventually ceased. Everyone will benefit if they find the courage to admit and do what is not yet customary to speak at the top of their voices.
In general, we are witnessing the resolution of an urgent foreign policy issue. Unfortunately, experience shows that the lessons learned from history are quickly forgotten. And no one wants to repeat the past, yes, you see, you have to. Today, His Majesty the Russian warrior (as once the Soviet one) is changing the established world order and the principles of coexistence in it. And there is no need to persuade anyone, to flirt with anyone: as Bulgakov wrote, they themselves will offer and give everything themselves!
