Amerikas Schulden gegenüber Israel

Writing in *The* *Wall Street Journal,* Reuel Marc Gerecht, contributor to Hoover’s [Middle East and the Islamic World Working Group](https://www.hoover.org/research-teams/middle-east-and-islamic-world-working-group), and coauthor Ray Takeyh argue that the US should be grateful to Israel for their efforts since the attacks of October 7 in eliminating or degrading so many groups and states that were hostile to American interests. They write that Israel has removed Hamas’s ability to maneuver as a guerilla force, neutered the capacity of Hezbollah in Beirut, overseen the toppling of Bashar Assad in Syria, and completely decimated the military leadership and air power of Iran, all in the span of the past two years. “Not all of Israel’s enemies are America’s,” they write, “but enough of them are to do more than wish it well.” 

How about Israel give back a ton of money to the u.s.

One of the main reasons these enemies are America’s enemies is Israel. Furthermore, not only did they not help overthrow Assad in Syria, but they also bombed Syria hundreds of times, a country America was trying to stabilize, thus contradicting American policy. Israel is also the one who bombed Qatar, damaging the US’s prestige among Arabs.

Moreover, Israel has committed so many war crimes that, with the protection of the USA, it has destroyed USA’s human rights arguments against Russia and China. No one talks about what China is doing to the Uyghurs or what the Russians are doing in Ukraine because Israel (with the protection of the USA) is doing much worse.
