Unmasking the Illusion: A Critical Examination of the US-Israel Alliance

By: Mahmoud El-Yousseph   Source: iViews Jul 30, 2024 No Comments


Having lived in the US for nearly 50 years, nothing upsets me more than when I hear some Americans say that Israel is our ally and shares our values.

I find this to be pure poppycock because Israel is a liability and not an asset to the US. There is only one thing America and Israel don’t have in common: Israelis get free national healthcare and free education subsidized by U.S. taxpayers in the amount of $4.5 billion per year. While 40,000 of our veterans are homeless and 45,000 Americans die yearly from lack of access to healthcare because they can’t afford it.

However, here is a short list of what America and Israel have in common:

1. Both countries were built on stolen land.
2. Both countries are controlled by Zionists.
3. Both have stripes and stars in their flags.
4. Both hate Iran.
5. Both bombed and occupied Arab and Muslim countries.
6. Soldiers of both countries desecrated the Quran.
7. Soldiers from both countries urinated on corpses.
8. Both countries attacked funerals and weddings.
9. Both countries bombed schools, hospitals, churches, and mosques.
10. Both Israel and the US kidnapped foreign nationals from other countries.
11. Both countries referred to the native indigenous as savages and terrorists.
12. Both use police brutality against peaceful protesters.
13. Both countries possess nuclear bombs.
14. Both repeatedly violated international laws.
15. Neither the US nor Israel recognizes or respects the International Court of Justice.
16. Both engaged in stealing other countries' oil and other natural resources.
17. Both countries treat minorities as second-class citizens.
18. Both nations are very advanced militarily.
19. Same-sex marriage is legal in both countries.
20. Both fought against the British in the past.
21. Both are colonizing nations.
22. Both claim to represent democracy and value human rights.
23. Both are immigrant societies.
24. Both countries are currently dealing with legal and moral issues.
25. Both the US and Israel committed war crimes and crimes against humanity.
