Phillip: If a Democrat had said anything like what Vance said, they would be called an anti-semite, period.
LoPresti: Well, I don't know if there's anything anti-semitic about what was said right.
Phillip: I am not saying that it is anti-semitic, but I am saying that for at least the last several years, any critique of Israel, its conduct in wars in gaza, in Lebanon, how it conducts itself in the region in general, Republicans have accused Democrats of being anti-semitic for pointing any of those things out.

Yes, if Iran can be a normal country that does trade and has missiles then maybe Cuba can import oil and medical supplies? Just a thought.

So dealing with Iran like a normal country has been an option this entire time? Maybe we could also lift the strangulation blockade on Cuba without the world ending.

Who cares that the United States of Qatar capitulated to the Islamic Republic of Iran?

Amazing how many people opposed this because they don’t understand the concept of the passage of time.

People are understandably skeptical and even dismissive of the latest spat between the US and Israel.
It is after all no more than a war of words, with no serious indication it has or will result in a change of policy by Washington towards Israel. Certainly not as of today.
This notwithstanding, what we are witnessing this week is fundamentally different than yet another article by Barak Ravid that the US leadership is furious with Israel. This time, the message is coming straight from the horse’s mouth, most prominently from none other than Trump and Vance.
This is already politically significant for an important reason. It may not directly affect US policy towards Israel, but for decades Israel has very successfully traded on the image that it is all-powerful in Washington, that the road to the White House runs through Tel Aviv.
Many governments accordingly make nice with Israel and acquiesce to its every demand not out of any loyalty to or affinity with Israel, but because they have successfully been persuaded by Israel that if they disobey it, they will incur the wrath of Washington and get nothing from it.
When such governments witness not only the various statements critical of Israel by the most senior US officials, but just as importantly the hysteria of Israeli leaders that they have been abandoned by Washington and that the US has become a Saudi-Qatari colony, they will factor this into their foreign policies.
If, in the coming weeks, the US forces Israel to withdraw from Lebanon, for example, and engages seriously with Iran over persistently loud Israeli objections, it sends a very clear message. That message is that relations with the US can be pursued bilaterally, or even via other governments, and Israel can be safely ignored.
Israel’s leadership seems to have become delusional to the point of believing that it is the senior partner in the relationship with the US. If it continues to act this way, it will ultimately reveal itself to be a paper tiger, with the consequences this entails.

These are the words of a man who is about to drop a nuke. Or release blackmail.
Just look at how ugly and genocidal he looks.

Posturing is easy. Facts are more challenging.
The US shut down Israel's Lavi fighter program for two very simple reasons:
1. It was an extraordinarily expensive program and the US was expected to pay for it.
2. It relied on key US components and technologies. It literally couldn't taxi out of a hangar without these US inputs. Yet it would have directly competed with US aircraft, inflicting yet further losses on the US economy.
Short version: The US shut down the Lavi because it was basically a US program.
Next time also have the integrity to tell your readers how Israel sold key technologies involved in the cancelled Lavi program, including US technologies, to China.
For further details see Dov Zakheim, Flight of The Lavi (1996). Zakheim was a senior Pentagon official during the Reagan administration tasked with investigating this program and played a key role in shutting it down.

JD Vance likes to threaten Israel by pointing out how much of our weapons come from the US, but he completely ignores history. This dependency was manufactured by Washington. What does he want us to do, buy our jets from China? Or maybe he wants Israel to build its own? Let's remind him that back in the 1980s, Israel was developing the Lavi, a fighter jet that would easily be one of the best in the world today. It was the US that pressured and forced Israel to cancel the project because American defense contractors didn't want the competition. You can't force us to shut down our independent fighter jet program to protect US corporate profits, and then turn around and complain that we rely on US jets. If Israel has to fully decouple and build its own platforms again, we can. But don't pretend this dependency wasn't your choice.
