The United States is certainly considered as an ally of Israel. However a most profound question is, are we really?
After more than a half century of financial aid to Israel, year after year after year and to what present day is an all things considered estimate of well over eight million dollars a day (day after day after day and without end) from the US to Israel, Israel still remains as a military state and is still unsecured.
The United States, in its support of Israel, has stood out in the United Nations from nearly always supporting Israel even when many others haven’t, all the way to not voting yes on the recent UN vote granting Palestine its recognition as a country (state) and nearly everything in between.
Yet Israel still remains an unsecured military state.
We even work with Israel on not only promoting “Democracy” at Israel’s location in the Middle East but also work with Israel on a Joint Defense Program.
This joint defense program also comes with the US support at over a billion dollars (well over another more than a half million dollars a day, day after day) over the last four years.
Yet Israel is still a military state and still unsecured.
So again, with insanity being defined as doing the same thing over and over (yes and over and over and over again) and expecting a different result, is it then more accurate to say that we are in reality not so much an ally to Israel but a co-dependent participant in insanity?
Not only does Israel not, or no longer, need such (significant amounts of) money from the US and not only does what appears to be no less than a growing plurality of Israelis no longer want such financial support from the US, but the US, we ourselves, can no longer afford to give it.
With what amounts to, based on an equivalency of a dollar every second being over 475,000 years in debt regarding the United States and with well-formed arguments that the US and Israel would both be better off without the continued failed policy presently of such financial giving and lending, why does it then continue?
Is it the minority of citizens here that are Congressman and Senators, who instead of leading (and on Israel’s side as well) in what is best for Israel and the United States, they behold themselves to the counter-productive two hundred and thirty political action committees lobbying for this money (to Israel) in seeking only what they believe is the path of least resistance to being reelected?
Is there something/anything we, individually or perhaps collectively, can do perhaps like petitioning our Congressmen, or do we really in the end, simply just ourselves take a path of least resistance and simply not care?
What do you think?
