USA: The Path To Peace Requires Ending ‘Special Alliance’ With Israel

As long as Washington maintains a “special alliance” with the Jews, they will always seek to use our military to do their dirty work. They have proved it for decades, continuing to demand more U.S. troops die on their behalf

By Tucker Carlson: We hope the president’s ceasefire creates a lasting peace and puts an end to America fighting Mark Levin’s wars for him. Unfortunately, such an outcome is no guarantee.

As long as Washington maintains a “special alliance” with the Israeli government, the latter’s leaders will always seek to use our military to do their dirty work. They have proved it for decades, pitching every president since Ronald Reagan on invading Iran and continuing to demand more U.S. troops die on their behalf even after America took out Saddam Hussein and Ali Khamenei. Our bending over backward for them has never been, and will never be, enough.

It only took Israel a few months after Operation Midnight Hammer to swoop back into the White House and aggressively lobby for more acts of war against their enemy. The same thing will happen again unless President Trump gets ahead of it and tells the Israelis that enough is enough. The American people have endured enormous amounts of pain because of Israel, and the thankless torment must stop now. That means ending the U.S.-Israeli “special partnership,” and instead treating Israel like any other country. If their interests align with ours, that’s great. But if they don’t, we must never compromise what is best for us in order to help them. They are not our priority.

This shift would lead to a foreign policy that exists to benefit the United States. Perhaps we could improve relations with Iran, developing an actual partnership that reduces the threat of terrorism and increases our access to Middle Eastern natural resources. Maybe we would no longer need to have tens of thousands of troops stationed in the Gulf, and could finally bring our boys home. Thirdly, and this one is definite, America’s decades-long humiliation exercise of treating Israel like a 51st state would end, allowing our government to justly serve us. 

This plan might not create peace for Israel, but that is not America’s concern. For once this century, it is time for our leaders to legitimately, without exception, put the United States First. Yesterday’s ceasefire creates a legitimate opportunity for them to do so. Whether they dare to follow through could determine the Republican Party’s fate.
