Some in the US are currently arguing that President Donald Trump’s support has declined, arguing that the US prioritized Israel over itself.
Comedians like Dave Smith and journalist Tucker Carlson claim that Trump’s shift from “America First” to “Israel First” has alienated him from the public.
However, a person named Yehoram Uziel is misinforming them. He says this argument is neither based on truth nor supported by evidence.
Uziel argues that support for Israel is not against “America First,” but rather its true meaning.
Foreign aid is provided by Congress, not the president.
Yehoram Uziel clearly states that aiding Israel is not the president’s sole decision.
The US Constitution clearly states that the authority for foreign aid rests with Congress, not the President.
Aid to Israel has always been passed with the support of both parties in CongressβRepublican and Democratic.
This means this isn’t a separate policy of Trump or his administration; it’s a bipartisan policy that has been in place for decades.
The Israel-US Relationship is Old and Strong
America’s relationship with Israel is not new. The US has stood firmly with Israel since the 1967 war.
Yehoram Uziel reminds us that this relationship strengthened when Henry Kissinger (a renowned American foreign policy expert) recognized the need for military ties between the US and Israel.
Since then, the US has believed that supporting Israel is beneficial for its own security.
America benefits from Israel’s technology
Uziel also says that America will benefit greatly from Israel, especially in the defense sector.
Israel’s Iron Dome missile technology is famous in the world today.
This system will also be useful in America’s own defense system and will help in protecting against dangerous missiles of Russia and China.
America’s security strengthened with AISAN technology, Jay shows the true spirit of βAmerica Firstβ.
America also got a lot of help from Israel’s research, cyber security and intelligence.
Israel friend, no burden
Uziel says that Israel is an βassetβ for America β a beneficial friend.
Some remaining countries or organizations, such as NATO, Vietnam, Korea, Iraq, and Afghanistan β caused huge losses to America.
Oh everyone, America’s money and lives were lost in the war.
The rest of the money returns to Israel as βinvestmentβ β whether in defense technology, or in maintaining political balance in the Middle East.
In this way the relationship with Israel became not a burden but a blessing.
Answers on Libertarian Thinking
Some people, especially libertarian-minded people, say that America’s debt has increased due to foreign wars and military aid.
Uziel believes that yes, America’s spending has gone in the wrong direction in many places, but not all foreign spending is bad.
Many times foreign investment has been compromised in the interests of America’s security.
The money invested in Israel will help in the defense of America itself, thus becoming an example of βAmerica Firstβ.
The real reasons for Trump’s support decline
According to Yehoram Uziel, Trump’s lack of support is due to lack of support for Israel.
But the real reason is that Donald Trump gradually deviated from the original principles of MAGA (Make America Great Again) in his lust for power.
He has now become more of a “power-hungry” person than a “leader of the people.”
People’s trust is shattered when leaders abandon their principles.
These people are turning away from Trump, not because of Israel’s support.
Conclusion
Yehoram Uziel clearly states that the allegations made by Tucker Carlson and comic Dave Smith are false.
America’s strong relationship with Israel is not a contradiction to “America First,” but rather its true essence.
Israel is a trusted partner of America, strengthening its security, technology, and strategic power.
The benefits America derives from Israel far outweigh any other country combined.
Israel’s expenditures are not a “foreign burden,” but a “national investment.”
The reason for Donald Trump’s declining support is not foreign policy, but he himself β who has deviated from the original MAGA philosophy for power.
