"Grace James" an American journalist, whose analyzes and writings are used in many journals of the country, including the "New York Times" and his anti-war stance is known, has spent time on Israel's ties with American in internet magazine of "Truth dig" and believes that Israel is not viable without US support."
When Egypt crossed the Suez Canal with training and support of the Soviet Union in 1352 war and the Syrian stood on Golan Heights, Israel's existence was on the brink of destruction. In the midst of this confrontation, the US giant transport planes rushed to the help of Israel. US aircraft landed on the ground every half an hour to give services to broken army of Israel, which had lost much of their armor power. Over time that the war continued, US military aid to Israel was over $ 2 billion.
US involvement in the conflict angered Arabs on the one hand, and on the other hand, resulted in OPEC oil embargo which had a considerable economic damage for West. Probably the war should be known as the most amazing example of the United States dedicated support system of the Zionist state's existence.
Israel was born at midnight on 24 May 1327, and 11 minutes later, the United States recognized it. Since then the two countries have a close relationship with each other. Washington played the role of moderator in the relationship. After the occupation of Gaza in 1335 US' president, "Eisenhower", forced Israel to withdraw from the area. Israeli war planes bombed the US warship "USS Liberty" during the 6-day war that happened in 1346. The warship was stationed 15 miles off Israel's coast with the US flag and heard tactical and strategic communications of war parties. As a result of Israel's attack on the ship 34 US sailors were killed and 171 others were wounded. Following this deliberate aggression Washington attachment to Israel deteriorated for some time. However, it is proved that such tensions have been short-time and complex and seasoned Israeli lobby in the US, which is financially well-supported, always fixed the issues.
Bond with US has brought countless benefits for Israel that direct military-economy assistance worth US $ 140 billion is the most important part of it. Israel receives annually $ 3 billion financial assistance directly. This figure almost includes 20 percent of the US budget to foreign aid. US foreign aid is subject to recipients do military purchases from US firms; however, Israel is allowed to spend about 25 percent of the money received from the United States in the lucrative and growing arms industry.
Israel also unlike other governments is exempt from the way of spending financial assistance, and thus, the Israeli government funds are usually spent on building new Jewish settlements to continue occupation of Palestine by Israel and building a security wall that each mile costs like a million dollars with strength and power.
Separation wall through the middle of the West Bank creates outlying neighborhoods is for poor Palestinians residents. It is anticipated that when construction of the wall ends, 40 percent of traffic to the Palestinian territories will be impossible. This would be the largest speculation of Israel since the 1346 war. Meanwhile, on one hand, the United States officially opposes with expansion of Jewish settlements and the separation barrier, and on the other hand, it provides the cost of such measures.
The United States in addition to granting nearly $ 3 billion economic assistance to Israel to develop weapons systems, has provided access of it to a part of the most sensitive US military arsenal accumulation such as Blackhawk attack helicopters and fighter jets like the F-16. The United States also has given information to Israel which does not give to its allies.
When Israel refused to sign the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, the United States was silent so that Israelis provide and accomplish the first nuclear weapons of region program. The declining of role of US foreign policy, especially in the reign of George W. Bush has led strategies of this country to fall like annexes of foreign policy of Israel in world arena. The United States of America has vetoed 32 resolutions of Security Council issued in criticize of Israel. The number of times that the United States has resorted to veto UN resolutions is much more than veto of other Security Council's members. The United States claims to support the UN Security Council and its resolutions, but it refuses to put pressure to implement resolutions issued against Israel; resolutions that withdraw Israel from the occupied territories.
America's shameless advocate of Israel has provoked anger and hatred of Arabs. In this regard, few people can be found in the Middle East who discriminates between Israel and the US policies. However, when Muslims recall the issue of US support for Israel as the primary reason for their hatred of the United States, we should be listening to them. The consequences of this unfair and one-sided relationship are reflected in the disastrous Iraq war and increase of tensions with Iran, Lebanon and the political- humanitarian crisis in Gaza. US' Middle East policy which is influenced by Israel can make nightmares of flare of regional strife with the tragic dimensions. Many policy officials and the US State Department had long predicted such a situation.
Tying the fate of the US to Israel is an issue in the Middle East, which was not initially accepted by foreign policy scholars of US- figures such as Gen. "George Marshall", foreign minister of the president, "Harry Truman" and everyone warned about its consequences as they knew the cost that the United States should pay in this oil-rich region will be of the biggest strategic errors of the US in the aftermath of the war and of course they were right, as now, as a result of this decision, the security of the US and Israel was deteriorating and a situation for occurrence of a regional war has been prepared.
A link which has no geopolitical justification will be meaningful when it is viewed from indigenous perspective. The Israel lobby has become a powerful story in American political system that no Democratic or Republican candidate dares to challenge it. The lobby has been successful not clean up the US State Department of Department of Arab experts who did not agree the theory of "unity of Israeli and American interests". Friends of Israel have spent hundreds of millions of dollars to support those candidates of the United States who love Israel and those who have deviated from the path have been severely punished; As Bush the father was beaten with the argument that he was not serious enough to defend Israel, it became a lesson for Bush the son not to forget the issue. George W. Bush did not want to be president just for one period Like his father.
... US Middle East policy is designed by people who have close ties with Israel Lobby. Anyone who wants to fight with hostile positions of Israel will be oppressed cruelly such as former Secretary of State "Caolin Powell ". The continuity and communication also lasted faithfully during the Clinton administration by a team of Middle East experts I favor of Israel that figures such as "Dennis Ross" (former Coordinator of Middle East issues) and "Martin Indyk" (former Deputy of the most powerful Israeli lobby in Washington, known as AIPAC) among them. People like Ross and Indyk had at least moderate views and agreed with establishment of a Palestinian state- unstable or impossible- as far as Israel's opposition did not arise. But the Bush administration resorted to the extreme right wing of the Israel lobby. This branch of the Israel lobby does not want to make things up with Palestinians not even for a few moments, and on the other hand, it does not tolerate a word of criticism about Israel, and figures such as "Elliott Abrams", "John Bolton", "Doglos Feith", "Lewis Scooter Libby", notorious "Richard Perle", "Paul Wolfowitz". And "David Wurmser" are representatives of the same political flow.
... In any case the current administration of America has confirmed disastrous mistakes of Israel's from construction of the security wall in the West Bank and the Gaza blockade and start of a humanitarian crisis to the devastating invasion and massive bombing of Lebanon. In the meantime, some not so serious mobility of the White House to criticize Israeli military operations led to US government withdraws humiliatingly under pressure of Israel. When the Israeli army once again occupied the West Bank in 1381, President Bush asked Israeli Prime Minister (Ariel Sharon) to stop his operation and begin to withdraw. After a week of heavy pressure from the Israel lobby and its allies in Congress (which included almost all members of Congress!) made US president retreat from his position and called Sharon as "man of peace"! Thus, one of the most humiliating moments in US history happened, and it became clear that US control is on whose hands.
The United States future is expecting miserable events because not only Israel foreign policy goals are not same as the interests of US, but they seriously hurt them. Growth of militancy in the Middle East has led to whisper of attack on some countries in the region as well as failure of big projects of the United States in Iraq, and all these factors have created unprecedented opportunities for competitors of the USA.
Kindle of fire of regional conflicts is neither in favor of Israel, nor in favor of America, but it seems that those who are involved in steering the ship of the United States government have determined to smash it into rocks in front of us by life-threatening speed.
US claim to support the UN Security Council and its resolutions, but it refuses to put the pressure to implement resolutions issued against Israel. Resolutions that make Israel withdraw from the occupied territories.
"Grace James", an American journalist, says: US Middle East policy which is become clear that is affected by relationship with Israel can make nightmare of flare of regional conflicts come true by unfortunate dimensions. Many officials of policy area as well as US State Department have long predicted such a situation.
American journalist: shameless America's siding for Israel has provoked Arabs anger and hatred. However, we should be listening to Muslims when they recall the issue of US support for Israel as the primary reason for their hatred of the United States. The consequences of this unfair and one-sided relationship are reflecting their results in the disastrous Iraq war and increase of tensions with Iran, Lebanon and the humanitarian-political crisis in Gaza.
The Israel lobby has become a powerful side in American political system that no Democratic or Republican candidate dares to challenge it. The lobby has been successful to clean up US' State Department of those Arab experts who did not agree with the theory of "unity of Israeli and American interests".
US Middle East policy is designed by people who have close ties with Israel Lobby. Anyone who wants to fight with hostile positions of Israel will be oppressed cruelly such as former Secretary of State "Caolin Powell ".
The United States is expecting miserable future events because not only Israel foreign policy goals are not similar to US' interests, but they seriously hurt them. Growth of militancy in the Middle East has created whisper of attack to some countries in the region as well as failure of big projects of the United States in Iraq, and all these events have made unprecedented opportunities for USA's competitors.
