The Myth of Israel as ‘US Aircraft Carrier’ in Middle East If Israeli apartheid were to disappear, oil and trade would still flow from the Middle East towards the West, write Jean Bricmont and Diana Johnstone. Why does the United States give total support to Israel? In answer, there is a common myth shared by both champions and radical critics of the Zionist state which needs to be dispelled. The myth is that Israel is a major U.S. strategic asset, described as a sort of unsinkable American aircraft carrier vital to Washington’s interests in the Middle East. The line of argument of those who share this myth is to show that the United States has economic and strategic interests in the oil-rich Middle East (which nobody denies) and to quote American (and, of course, Israeli) political figures who claim that Israel is the best or even the sole U.S. ally in the region. For example U.S. President Joe Biden has gone so far as to say that if Israel didn’t exist the U.S. should have invented it. But the crucial evidence, totally missing from their analysis, is the slightest example of Israel actually serving American interests in the region. If no examples are given, it’s simply because there are none. Israel has never fired a shot on behalf of the United States or brought a drop of oil under U.S. control. We can start with a common sense argument: If the U.S. is interested in Middle East oil, why would it support a country that is hated (for whatever reasons) by all the populations of the oil producing countries? In the 1950s, such was the reasoning of most U.S. experts, who put good relations with Arab countries ahead of support to Israel. This no doubt helps explain why AIPAC, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, was founded in 1963, to align U.S. policy with that of Israel. ... “The public must realize that far from being an asset, Israel is a chronic liability that squanders billions of American dollars, drags the United States into wars and whose genocidal treatment of the Palestinians is radically destroying America’s moral pretensions in most of the world.”

By their and Anera's reports they've been responsible for like 2/3rds of the food aid in Gaza over the past five months, it does not appear that they've only just now showed up to do this stupid port thing.

Source: Times of Occupied Palestine https://www.timesofisrael.com/idf-soldier-killed-12-wounded-in-battles-with-hamas-in-southern-gaza/ IDF soldier killed, 13 wounded in battles with Hamas in southern Gaza By EMANUEL FABIAN Today, 4:02 am An Israeli soldier was killed and another 13 were wounded on Wednesday during fighting in the southern Gaza Strip, bringing the toll of slain troops in the ground offensive against Hamas since late October to 247. The soldier was named as Staff Sgt. David Sasson, 21, of the Oketz canine unit, from Ganot Hadar. Among the 12 wounded in the same battle against Hamas operatives, five sustained serious injuries, according to the Israel Defense Forces. The troops, of the Oketz unit and Commando Brigade, had raided a multi-story building in the Hamad Town residential complex in Khan Younis, when several Hamas operatives ambushed them. The soldiers were hit by gunfire, RPGs, and an explosive device, according to an IDF probe. Several of the Hamas gunmen were killed by the troops and in airstrikes in the area... ... In a separate incident on Wednesday, another soldier of the Commando Brigade was seriously wounded during fighting in southern Gaza.

DJJIB-DJDCT posted:The Myth of Israel as ‘US Aircraft Carrier’ in Middle East quote:Unfortunately, many on the left cling to an ostensibly “Marxist” view that U.S. support for Israel must be motivated by economic interests, by capitalist profits, by control of the flow of Middle Eastern oil. This belief is not only unsupported factually, it amounts to an invitation to U.S. rulers to keep it up. this is what I've been saying for a while. People act like there's a practical argument for Israel support when its entirely ideological. America supporting Israel isn't about continuing the American empire but the sick beliefs of the American ruling class. There's a sort of ontological argument for American foreign policy even from critics where practical reasoning is assumed to be behind decision making at some level because otherwise the policies wouldn't endure. However, we know of too many definitively irrational American political decisions even from within the unelected blob for that to be the case.

So do lots of countries including nearly everyone else in the region who isn't a direct US opponent. America also gives Israel the money to buy our weapons so it's just another complicated way to hand money to our defense companies. We can do that in an infinite number of ways that don't involve violent ethnostates that cause disruptions to other US allies. These are extremely minor benefits considering the vast expense of money and political capital that Israel costs.

They were but their MIC, reasoned, correctly, that it was more profitable to sell high margin items on the export market. So, rather than producing bombs to replace the ones America provided or small arms and ammunition, the Israeli military industrial complex produces some of the most big ticket items in the world of defence, in terms of sensors, autonomous systems, and other high technology items that bring in huge amounts of money - and of course that R&D is also funded by the United States, either directly or indirectly and they can be spares to only produce “luxury goods” because America give them “staples” for free.

DJJIB-DJDCT posted:The Myth of Israel as ‘US Aircraft Carrier’ in Middle East 9/11 happened in part because of US support of Israel specifically. It's not even worth it on its own terms because you can't even use Israel as a forward base, and the US doesn't even try. They were not launching strikes into Iraq, any of the times the US has does so, from Israel, because it would massively piss everyone in the region off. Same with Syria and Libya, the US didn't use the aircraft carrier of Israel because to do so is far more trouble than its worth. Oh and also we have actual aircraft carriers, and Turkey, and Cypress. If you can't base out of your client state because to do so is to invite huge political repercussions, you don't actually have a base there.
