Israel is our best ally? Let's look at the facts, Bill. Israel has never sent troops to fight alongside the United States. Not once. Not Vietnam. Not Korea. Not even Iraq, when they lobbied endlessly for it. Not Afghanistan. Not Lebanon. Not Grenada, Panama, Kosovo, Bosnia, Libya, Syria, Somalia. NOTHING. Even in this one, Netanyahu declared the IDF would not go into Iran, the same literal day he encouraged us to send our own troops. We have fought 5 nations **at their request** and they didn't help once. The U.S. doesn't have a base in Israel (because they won't let us). But we do have bases in Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, the UAE, Turkey, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Iraq, and Syria. Qatar even pays the United States for us to have a base there, spending over a billion to help us expand it. Israel only let us put a single radar station to help THEM from getting hit by missiles. Mossad gives us GREAT info. Whenever it's beneficial to Israel. That's not being an ally. That's them asking us to do stuff for them. Literally every nation gives us intelligence if it benefits them. Turns out though, Israel doesn't give us intelligence when it's *not* good for them. Israel had advanced notice of the Beirut barracks bombings in 1993. Israel had advanced notice of the TWA Flight 847 hijacking in 1987. The Achille Lauro hijacking in 1985. Operation Trojan in 1986. And the big one, the two Mossad agents who were arrested after celebrating the attack on the Twin Towers on 9/11 whilst watching it go down from a perch which they had pre-established for the show. They even withold intelligence on attacks coming on Israel when it benefits them, like they did in 1973 before the Yom Kippur War and worst of all, when Egypt warned them of the coming attacks on October 7. But worse than the info they don't give is the info they DO give, like the fabricated evidence THEY MADE UP about WMDs that led to the deaths of 4,431 American servicemen and one MILLION innocent Iraqis. They also didn't warn us before an attack on the U.S.S. Liberty, where they poured napalm on our sailors and then gunned the same men down they were waving at on previous fly-bys, while they tried to escape on lifeboats. And they didn't warn us before recruiting Egyptian Jews to plant explosives to murder American and British civilians in the Lavon Affair in 1957 to get us into war with Egypt. That was when the president of AIPAC, if I recall, announced the word "antisemite" would be used for those who criticized Israel during the trial. They were convicted, by the way. Neither did Israel warn us when they were paying Jonathan Pollard to spy on us. They didn't warn us when they were stealing uranium from the Pennsylvania lab to build their illegal nuclear arsenal. They didn't warn us when they had other spies stealing our secrets up to 13 times from 1981 to 2003. I'm pretty sure that's about the time we stopped caring. But by U.S. Law, Israel cannot even be our ally. That's right, it's against the law. We don't care about breaking the law when it's for Israel, granted, but it's called the Symington Amendment (1977) and the Glenn Amendment (1977) which says we cannot provide assistance to a nuclear power who hasn't signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, which Israel hasn't done, because it's enjoyed having a gun to our head ever since they pulled their nuclear arsenal out of its cave in 1973, called Nixon, and explained the Samson Protocols to end thee world any time they write a check we refuse to cash. Israel repeatedly defies American requests, announces settlement expansions during U.S. diplomatic visits as a deliberate insult, and has publicly humiliated multiple sitting American presidents, including Obama and Biden. They gave a literal freaking golden pager to Donald Trump right after their pager blew up babies in their fathers' arms, and if that isn't a Goyim Humiliation Induction, I don't know what is. Surely that's not a threat, is it? Of course, it is. And everyone knows it. Allies, Bill, do things like pay for military base expansions. They do things like go to war with you, even when it doesn't benefit them. They do things like get you out of wars instead of into them. Israel isn't an ally. Israel is what you call a liability. And it's time to cut our losses. The best thing we could do for the United States is pull our bases from the Middle East, disable the Iron Dome, and ring the region's dinner bell and let nature take its course.
