Haviv Rettig Gur: Ro Khanna Is LYING About His Israel Detainment
"America has made itself unreliable to just about every ally it has. As American politics change, as Israel's position in America changes, that'll be a very different relationship. Israel fought all of its major existential wars in 48, 67, 73, almost entirely without American help. We're not going to fall if we lose American support and we have to prepare for it because it might happen whether we like it or not."
Haviv Rettig Gur predicts that Israel will eventually lose unconditional American support due to domestic US political polarization, with both progressive Democrats and some Republicans turning away from the traditional alliance. He argues Israel is already expanding indigenous military production and must prepare for greater independence, noting that American foreign policy has been consumed by domestic culture wars since the late Clinton administration, making the US an unreliable partner for allies from Ukraine to Saudi Arabia.
