Israel Gets a Wake Up Call About Its Relationship with USA

 Remember what the God said about blessing those nations who bless the Jews/Israel and cursing those nations who curse her?  We realize that's an OT verse but we also understand that the nations who HAVE come against Israel have ended up in the dust bin of history or are currently so impoverished that no one wants to really live there.

So what the heck is up with these Democrats and their starry-eyed love for the Arabs of Palestine?  Why would they favor these terrorist led folks who pay pensions to those Arabs brave enough to kill Jews?  Why would they not favor Israel which is the freest, most technically advanced nation in the Middle East?

The answer is pretty simple.  They are suffering from delusion which is the result of godlessness.

The same answer can be arrived at when asking, "how can they NOT know what a woman is?"  Or how can they not see that a murderer is found guilty of two counts of homicide when killing a pregnant woman but the woman is NOT GUILTY of murder if she kills her own baby? 

Today we read that the relationship between Israel and USA is not quite as cozy as we would hope because the Democrats are leading the country and they don't like Israel.

Israel was rocked by the news on Thursday that the U.S. State Department had ordered NASA scientist Dr. Amber Straughn to cancel her participation in the Israel Physical Society's annual meeting. The news came following Straughn's posting on Twitter that her "travel authorization was revoked" on Wednesday.

The State Department's move, which gives the appearance of an official boycott, would be stunning under any circumstance. But it is all the more alarming coming on the heels of U.S. President Joe Biden's shocking remarks in relation to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his government's efforts to place minimal limits on the Supreme Court's currently limitless powers.

In apparently off-the-cuff remarks to reporters on Tuesday, Biden said curtly: "Like many strong supporters of Israel I am very concerned, and I'm concerned that they get this [judicial reform] straight. They cannot continue down this road. Hopefully, the prime minister will act in a way that he's going to try to work out some genuine compromise. But that remains to be seen."

Then, after interfering in Israel's domestic affairs, Biden added: "We're not interfering. They know my position. They know America's position. They know the American Jewish position."

When in a follow-up a reporter asked Biden if he would invite Netanyahu to the White House, the president's response was immediate and unhesitating.

"No, not in the near term."

Even before the State Department ordered Straughn to cancel her trip, it was abundantly clear that Biden's statement wasn't a fluke. And it wasn't about Netanyahu. Despite the occasional compliments that Biden and his advisers showered on Yair Lapid and Naftali Bennett, the administration's policies were not more pro-Israel when they were in power. 

Notwithstanding the failure of the administration's nuclear diplomacy with Iran last year, the Biden administration remained committed to its policy of appeasing Iran and facilitating its nuclear advancement, despite the previous government's expressed opposition.

The Biden administration's single-minded commitment to its pro-Iran policy was most unmistakable in the strong-arm tactics it used to force Lapid to agree to a gas deal with Hezbollah-controlled Lebanon on the eve of the Nov. 1 elections. Under the terms of the deal, in exchange for absolutely nothing, Israel was required to cede its sovereign waters and economic waters, and a natural-gas deposit to Lebanon.

The deal gave Iran's Lebanese proxy a cash windfall and a foothold in the Eastern Mediterranean. When Israel tried to draw out negotiations, Biden publicly hectored Lapid to close a deal. He refused to speak with Lapid on the phone for months and only did so after Lapid capitulated to Hezbollah demands--transmitted by the U.S. interlocutors.

Then there are the Palestinians. Throughout the previous government's time in office, the Biden administration was open about its rejection of Israel's national and legal rights in Judea and Samaria, and Jerusalem. They sided with illegal Arab squatters and their supporters as they rioted against their Jewish landlords and Jewish neighbors in Shimon HaTzaddik neighborhood in Jerusalem. They opposed Israel's counterterror operations and opened an FBI investigation against soldiers and officers in the Israel Defense Forces.

The administration subverted the Abraham Accords by compelling Israel to accept the Palestinians in the Abraham Accord summits. Palestinian participation transformed what had been a working alliance against Iran into a pile-on against Israel--orchestrated and led by the State Department.

As for Democrats in Congress, they drew out the approval process of supplemental Iron Dome missiles following "Operation Guardian of the Walls," making clear that Democrat-controlled congresses cannot be expected to automatically approve military aid to Israel.

All of this happened while the Israeli left was in power.

This brings us to the second difference between the new phase we have entered in U.S.-Israel ties and de Gaulle's breach of Franco-Israeli ties in the 1960s. When the French leader turned on Israel, Israel had the United States more or less at the ready, willing to replace France as Israel's superpower ally. Today, Israel has no alternative waiting in the wings.

But it may not need one. Israel is much more powerful today than it was in the 1960s. It doesn't need a protector; it needs partners. Beginning in 2013, Netanyahu began a process of building interest-based partnerships with nations across the region and across the world. These relationships with states in the region and worldwide already form the nucleus of a strategic posture that can secure Israel's position.

Biden's statement on Tuesday was roundly applauded by Israeli leftists hell-bent on overthrowing Netanyahu's government. They would do well to think this through. Sure, Biden has issues with Netanyahu. But the policies Biden pursues vis-à-vis Iran and the Palestinians work to Israel's strategic disadvantage regardless of who is in power, as his strong-arming of Lapid on the Hezbollah gas deal made clear.

Biden is not de Gaulle, in stature or in influence. American support for Israel is diminishing in some quarters. Still, it remains strong overall. Much can be done to change the situation for the better. And Israel is a powerful, wealthy nation with viable alternatives to strategic dependence on the United States.

This has been a bad week for Israel-U.S. relations, but it isn't cause for despair. Rather, it is cause for a sober-minded reassessment and rearrangement of Israel's relations with America to bring them in line with current realities.

Israel will never be destroyed once God brings her back into the land promised to Abraham.  That's a promise from God.  The same can't be said for America.  If we keep ignoring Israel while making nice with her mortal enemies, I would bet that cursing is in our future.
