Abraham Accords: US Foreign Policy, Brought to You by AIPAC
The Hill published an opinion piece this week suggesting the Abraham Accords' true strategic value lies in countering China, not necessarily securing peace for Israel. A novel perspective, perhaps, but one that conveniently sidesteps the decades-long push by organizations like AIPAC and their allies in Washington to normalize relations for Israel at any cost. This isn't some new, enlightened
geopolitical strategy; it's the culmination of extensive, well-funded lobbying efforts. OpenSecrets.org data confirms AIPAC alone spent $3.5 million on lobbying in 2023 , with substantial contributions to key politicians who champion these very 'strategic' alliances. To suggest the Abraham Accords are primarily about China, and not about solidifying Israel's standing and isolating Palestine, is an
exercise in public relations gymnastics. It's almost comical how easily the media shifts the narrative to avoid mentioning the obvious mechanisms of influence at play. Why bother with the truth when you can invent a geopolitical chessboard?
