Whenever people tell me that Israel can’t do X, Y, or Z because America won’t “let it,” I always respond, “What do you think America will do - physically stop Israel by force of arms?” Until now, the question was rhetorical. Obviously, America was not going to fly troops to Israel to stop the IDF from defeating the Arabs of Gaza or Judea and Samaria (aka 'West Bank'). At worst, it would punish Israel financially or diplomatically.
But if a news report from the website Shomrim is true, America is now considering building a $500-million base on the border of Gaza that will house thousands of American troops. If this base is built, that spells the end of Israeli independence on any matter relating to Gaza (and even possibly the 'West Bank'). It means that if a (truly) right-wing government one day want to fight Arab terror with crushing force, the American army may literally intervene on behalf of the Arabs.
Giving any American government - even the most friendly - that kind of power is dangerous. But in a few years’ time, America may very well have a Democrat president or a young Republican president in the mold of Tucker Carlson. In other words, the most powerful country in the world may soon again be governed by someone who dislikes - perhaps even detests - Israel. We would have to be insane to allow such a person to have thousands of troops at his disposal to force his will on Israel by means of arms. (Read More)
