Is Israel Really America's Friend?
Elsewhere on my website, I have collected many articles by Western journalists, Jews and Israelis, and human rights organizations all of whom condemn Israel's policies in Palestine. I believe that all of this should be sufficient reason for America to stop supporting Israel the way we do - we should stand up for justice. America's blind support of Israel undermines our credibility in the Muslim world and beyond.
But even if you don't find this a compelling argument, we can look at whether Israel has really been a loyal ally to the U.S., or whether the U.S.-Israeli relationship is costing America. Where does our national self-interest really lie? The two countries are not identical and our interests will sometimes diverge. When Israel acts contrary to our interests, should we just let them?
Below are articles that allege that Israel is acting contrary to American policies and interests by:
This is not "Muslim propaganda". All reports are taken from American or Israeli news sources and journalists.
