Memo to Rahm: you’re treating a genocidal state as a PR problem. It’s a moral problem. One that helped cost Democrats the last election. Continuing to avoid the immorality of that position will risk costing the next one too.Rahm Emanuel (@RahmEmanuel)Prime Minister Netanyahu and his government have led Israel into a dead end.
For too long, the United States has confused being a strong ally with being a silent one. A blank check has come without expectations, accountability, or consequences.
That approach has allowed Prime Minister Netanyahu to ignore America’s concerns over settlements, expand a regional war, and believe there would be no strategic cost. It has also allowed the denial of food and medical relief to innocent Palestinians in Gaza, fueling a perception around the world that Israel is indifferent to the suffering of civilians.
That is not good for Israel. It is not good for America. And it is not a path to peace.
The strongest alliances are built on honesty, shared values, and the willingness to tell each other hard truths. It’s time for a fundamentally new approach to the U.S.-Israel relationship—one that advances Israel’s security, Palestinian’s right to self-determination, and the Arab world’s desire for regional stability.
