Does defending America’s independence make you an enemy of Israel?
Paul Craig Roberts
Likud lawmaker Dan Illouz declares Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens enemies of Israel who are selling poison to the American people disguised as patriotism.
The Israel lobby has succeeded in classifying any criticism of Israeli policies, such as the destruction of Gaza and assassinations of foreign leaders, as anti-Semitic, thus preventing Israel from ever being held accountable for its crimes. In order to enforce its policy of discrediting all criticism of Israel, Israel has acquired tremendous power in the United States, as is proven by the lobby’s power to deep-six the First Amendment and have people who criticize Israel removed from their jobs and from universities. To please Israel, President Trump win after his two strongest supporters Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massey.
The power that Israel exercises over the United States has gone to their heads. Illouz says: “We are the people of eternity. We will be here long after your YouTube channels are forgotten dust.”
Israel describes its relationship with the United States as an alliance. But with many Americans proclaiming that you cannot be an American unless you love Israel, the indication is that the relationship is one of master and servant. A people concerned about their sovereignty and the independence of their policies are correct to question, as Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens do, the influence Israel has.
