The US-Israel Alliance Pays for Itself
by Jack Wolfsohn + comments
It’s a common refrain among some on the right that the US-Israel relationship is a one-way street - that it may not be worth the cost of the annual military aid the US grants to Israel.
From real-time intelligence that protects American forces, to improvements in US weapons systems, to medical and agricultural innovations that benefit Americans, Israel consistently delivers capabilities that are materially advantageous to the US.
Not only this, but the US defense industry employs tens of thousands of Americans. When we give $$ to Israel, they purchase the weapons systems that Americans construct and build. At the same time, the US gets to see how US weapons systems work IN COMBAT. That is also quite valuable!
Few seem to remember that the origins of this alliance really come from the 1978 Camp David Accords, and for the $3 Billion in aid we give to Israel, the US gives a corresponding $1.3 Billion to Egypt (and gets nothing in return from Egypt).
The US also used to give nearly $1 Billion a year to the Palestinian Authority, during the Oslo process.
Besides the obvious material benefits to the US-Israel alliance there are others. American Christians - as well as most Westerners, and most African and Asians Christians - have almost unlimited access to the Christian Holy Sites in the Land of Israel. You think that would be the case under one of the Iranian proxies like Hezbollah and Hamas?
Food for Thought: by Steven Shamrak
It is all in the word; manipulation! To avoid any international criticism, Israel needs to start using American terminology - “lethal kinetic” strikes - against terrorists in Gaza. This is how the US describes its war against “narco-terrorists” in international waters of the Caribbean Sea. And there is NO condemnation from the UN! There are still some 150 Hamas terrorists hiding in a tunnel in Israel’s controlled part of Gaza, who are not surrendering. Israel is not destroying the tunnel to avoid the usual accusation of ‘genocide’ from the ‘Ugly Nazi’. Israel is not allowed to freely conduct the defensive war against its enemies. All countries of the world are, but not Israel!
Zionism is the Jewish

BBC Staff - Compulsory Antisemitism Training
The BBC has announced compulsory anti-discrimination training for all staff, beginning with modules on antisemitism and Islamophobia. This move follows mounting pressure after more than 200 Jewish staff, contractors, suppliers, and contributors accused the BBC Board of ignoring pleas for an investigation into alleged antisemitism. (There is not much Islamophobia in BBC.)
A senior Hamas official, Khalil al-Hayya, one of five members of Hamas’ top leadership in Gaza, laid out the terrorist group’s conditions for the next phase of US President Donald Trump’s Gaza ceasefire plan, insisting the Islamist movement will not disarm before the creation of a Palestinian state and rejecting any deployment of an international stabilization force inside the Gaza Strip. Israel has insisted that Hamas must be fully disarmed as a main condition to move to the second phase of the ceasefire deal.
Israel was cleared to enter next year’s Eurovision song contest, prompting Spain, the Netherlands, Ireland, and Slovenia to follow through on their threats to withdraw from the competition in protest. The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) decided not to call a vote on Israel’s participation, and said it had instead passed rules aimed at discouraging governments from influencing the contest.
Hezbollah Disarms or Israel will Act
One year after a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with US President Donald Trump’s envoy for Lebanon affairs, Morgan Ortagus, in Israel as border tensions with Lebanon intensify. Senior Israeli officials said Lebanon’s government and army are not taking sufficient steps to disarm Hezbollah, warning that the group has grown its ranks and replenished missiles and rockets smuggled from Syria.
Another 'Friendly Advice' from Trump
Days after deadly Israeli operation in southern Syria, the US President Donald Trump warned Israel via social media against destabilizing Syria and its new leadership. Trump said he was “very satisfied” with Syria’s current performance under former Islamist rebel President Ahmed al-Sharaa. He also invited PM Netanyahu for year’s fifth White House visit! (Trump needs to learn two Islamist concepts: "Taqiyya" and "Kitman" - lying in order to advance Islam.)
Argentina Launched Isaac Accords
With the official launch of the Isaac Accords by Argentina’s President Javier Milei, Israel aims to expand its diplomatic and security ties across Latin America, with the initiative designed to promote government cooperation, fight antisemitism, and to fight terrorism. The first phase of the Isaac Accords will focus on Uruguay, Panama, and Costa Rica, where potential projects in technology, security, and economic development are already taking shape.
UAE Playing Deceitful Political Game
While Hezbollah is facing a financial crunch as it tries to rebuild and rearm after last year’s conflict with Israel, Iran has transferred hundreds of millions of dollars to Hezbollah over the past year through money exchanges and other businesses in Dubai, UAE. The traditional smuggling routes through Syria were disrupted after the fall of the Iran-aligned Assad regime, and Lebanese authorities have stepped up enforcement against couriers moving cash through Beirut’s Rafic Hariri International Airport. (It looks like UAE is playing a two-sided game - Israel and Iran.)
US Drone Strike Killed Al-Qaeda Terrorists in Yemen
A US drone strike in Yemen’s Marib province eliminated two alleged Al-Qaeda terrorists riding a motorcycle. The strike comes amid ongoing counter-terrorism operations. The US has also targeted the Iranian-backed Houthis in strikes. Neither the United States nor the internationally recognized Yemeni government has issued an official statement regarding the incident. (No coverage by international news, or condemnation by the UN - it was not Israel.)
Quote of the Week:
“The Pope, President Trump, the European Union and the Palestinian Arabs must demand that Arab countries absorb Palestinian Arabs. Countries like Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt, et al. have huge, unused territories. They share the Islamic religion with Palestinian Arabs, and could share a peaceful co-existence with their brotherly and sisterly Arabs. Saudi Arabia, for example, could carve out a “New Palestine” in a small portion of its vast lands. New 'Palestine' within Saudi Arabia could be located away from Saudi Arabian population centers in order to give the Palestinian Arabs freedom to create their own government and national culture. It would be a humane, practical, and least contentious solution for not only the Palestinian Arabs but also for the world. This is the solution that the Pope, President Trump, and the European Union should be insisting upon.” – FaceBook comment.
Ethnicity of so-Called Palestinians
Extracts from: “Bosnia - Motherland of "Palestinians" by Manfred R. Lehmann
and “Palestinians ‘Peoplehood’ Based on a Big Lie” by Eli E. Hertz.
Arab Palestinian nationality (which was officially forged in 1964) is an entity defined by its opposition to Zionism (the Jewish national liberation movement) and not by its national aspirations.
Like a mantra, Arabs repeatedly claim that the Palestinians are a native people of Israel. The concept of a ‘Stateless Palestinian people’ is not based on fact. It is a fabrication! The following is a chronology of an ethnic makeup of so-called Palestinians and their origin.
During the Ottoman Empire:
Until the Jews began returning to the Land of Israel in increasing numbers from the late 19th century, the area called Palestine was a God-forsaken backwash that was controlled by the Ottoman Empire.
In 1878, an Ottoman law granted lands in Palestine to the Moslem refugees from Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Carmel region, in the Galilee and in the Plain of Sharon and in Caesarea. The refugees were further attracted by 12-year tax exemptions and exemption from military service.
The same colonization policy was also directed toward Moslem refugees from Russia. From 1880-84, the Turkish government settled Muslims from the Crimea and the Caucasus. They were Cherkesians and Turkmens - leading to their settling in Abu Gosh, near Jerusalem, and in the Golan Heights, to ward off Bedouin robbers. Refugees from Algeria and Egypt were also settled in Jaffa, Gaza, Jericho, and the Golan.
Other settlers in the area include Sudanese, Algerians, Kurds, Persians, Afghans, Iraqis, Egyptians, Lebanese, and Syrians.
British Mandate: 1917-1947
1923: Having discovered the Golan lacks oil but that the Mosul area in northern Syria is rich in oil, the British cede the Golan to France in exchange for Mosul. At the same time the Trans-Jordan was ceded from the Palestinian mandate, as well and Egypt being given control of Sinai, Britian and France gained control of the Suez Canal. (82% of Jewish land was sacrificed in the process!)
In 1934 alone, 30,000 Syrian Arabs from the Hauran moved across the northern frontier into Mandate Palestine, attracted by work in and around the newly built British port and the construction of other infrastructure projects. They even dubbed Haifa Um el-Amal (‘the city of work’).
The Ottoman Turks’ census (1882) recorded only 141,000 Muslims in Palestine. The British census in 1922 reported 650,000 Muslims.
