Entangled in the Holy Land: How the U.S.-Israel Alliance Violates Founding Principles and Biblical Truth

One of the most critical and controversial questions in modern geopolitics—one that few dare to touch honestly: Is the U.S.-Israel alliance healthy, balanced, or morally sound? George Washington warned against entangling alliances, and yet, the U.S.-Israel relationship has become not just an alliance—but in many ways, an ideological, financial, and political dependency.

Let’s examine this through a clear lens of how the alliance functions, why it formed and persists, and what can be done to return to a principle-centered foreign policy—one that serves liberty, not lobbyists or ideology.

How the U.S.-Israel Alliance Became Unhealthy

1. Disproportionate Financial Aid

• Israel receives $3.8+ billion per year in U.S. foreign aid—more than any other nation, despite being a developed country.
• Much of this is military aid, directly tied to the U.S. defense industry via the Foreign Military Financing (FMF) program.
• This includes ironclad 10-year memorandums of understanding (MOUs)—binding the U.S. to aid regardless of Israeli actions or context.

No other nation receives this kind of guaranteed, unconditional financial loyalty.

---

2. Policy Lockstep and Veto Diplomacy

• The U.S. consistently uses its UN Security Council veto to shield Israel from international accountability—on issues like settlements, war conduct, or occupation.
• Congress often passes pro-Israel resolutions by overwhelming bipartisan majorities, while dissent is politically suicidal.
• Presidents, even when mildly critical of Israel, still enforce overwhelming support through policy and aid.

---

3. Lopsided Political Influence (AIPAC & Lobby Power)

• Groups like AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) wield enormous influence on U.S. politicians—often writing legislation and punishing dissenters.
• Many American lawmakers place loyalty to Israel above American sovereignty, sometimes even declaring it a “moral duty” to do so.
• Criticizing Israeli policy is frequently equated with antisemitism, shutting down open debate.

---

4. Proxy Wars and Blowback

• America’s alliance with Israel has made it the enemy of many in the Middle East, including groups and states that once had no hostility toward the U.S.
• The Iraq War, Syria destabilization, and tensions with Iran are tied directly or indirectly to Israeli regional strategy.
• This has cost American blood, treasure, and global goodwill.

---

5. Moral Compromise and Double Standards

• The U.S. routinely condemns authoritarian regimes or human rights abuses—except when Israel is the accused.
• American foreign policy is compromised by ideological exceptionalism: Israel is treated as morally infallible, regardless of evidence.

This violates moral consistency, principled diplomacy, and even biblical justice.

Why Did This Alliance Form and Persist?

1. Shared Ideological Narrative

• Post-WWII guilt and evangelical Zionism fused into a quasi-theological mandate: support for Israel became a religious or moral necessity.
• Many Christians see modern Israel as a fulfillment of prophecy, ignoring that supporting a state does not equal supporting God’s covenant (which is based on righteousness, not borders).

2. Cold War Strategy

• Israel was a strategic ally in the Middle East against Soviet influence during the Cold War.
• This practical alignment hardened into a permanent alliance, even after the Cold War ended.

---

3. Bipartisan Lobby Pressure

• AIPAC and affiliated organizations donate heavily to both parties.
• Criticism of Israel ends careers, stalls bills, and invites media backlash.
• Many political figures take trips, receive funding, or echo talking points crafted by Israeli-aligned interest groups.

What Can Be Done to Restore a Principle-Centered Foreign Policy?

1. Return to Washingtonian Neutrality

“Observe good faith and justice toward all nations; cultivate peace and harmony with all.” — George Washington

• Shift from special alliance to fair diplomacy
• End memorandums of aid that are not tied to accountability or mutual interest
• Remove ideological dogma from foreign policy

---

2. Audit and Reform Foreign Aid

• Make all foreign aid conditional, reviewed annually, and aligned with constitutional priorities
• Cease funding nations (including Israel) who act contrary to American values, international law, or peace

---

3. Reclaim Moral and Biblical Consistency

• Supporting Israel must not mean enabling injustice, whether toward Palestinians, journalists, or dissenters
• American Christians must separate biblical Israel (the covenant people) from political Israel (the nation-state)

---

4. End Lobby Control of U.S. Policy

• Enforce foreign agent registration requirements
• Place limits on foreign lobbying and dual loyalty interference
• Empower open debate without smears or cancelation

---

5. Focus on America First—but Morally

• Secure American borders before financing others’
• Stop sacrificing American lives for regional strategies that don’t serve liberty
• Restore a foreign policy based on:
  • Justice
  • Peace
  • Sovereignty
  • Mutual respect

---

Final Reflection: Entangling Alliances Cost Liberty

The U.S.-Israel alliance, in its current form, violates nearly every tenet the Founding Fathers warned against:

• It is permanent, ideological, and unconditional
• It serves lobbyists and elites, not American citizens
• It sacrifices truth, justice, and peace for power and profit

To speak this truth is not antisemitism—it is patriotic responsibility.

America must be a friend to all, but a servant to none.
And no nation, no matter how revered or historic, should sit above accountability, justice, or liberty.
