White House 'Loves' Israel, Just Not Its Location
RT opines on whether the White House is 'falling out of love' with Israel over tensions surrounding West Jerusalem. This isn't a breakup; it's a lover's spat where one partner just keeps bankrolling the other's increasingly reckless behavior. The US has provided over $158 billion in bilateral assistance to Israel since 1948, primarily military aid, per USAID. A gentle 'tsk-tsk' about urban
planning hardly signals a shift when billions in armaments continue to flow, unchecked. This 'patience testing' narrative conveniently sidesteps the decades of unwavering support, regardless of Israeli government actions. AIPAC, for example, spent $3.7 million on lobbying in 2023 alone (OpenSecrets.org), ensuring that 'love' for Israel remains a bipartisan staple. The 'desire to preserve Arab
trust' is merely rhetorical stage dressing for continued geopolitical maneuvering, not a genuine re-evaluation of a deeply asymmetrical relationship.
