It’s great that Sen. Lee compared Kiev and Tel Aviv. After all, both are welfare queens with unstable borders, and both have major problems with their respective ethno-nationalists.
Republican Senator Mike Lee of Utah had a very interesting post on X recently.
The lawmaker, who is opposed to sending more aid to Ukraine, asked whether Americans wanted the country to become “the next Israel,” noting that Kiev expects the United States to provide “long-term” (read “indefinite”) security assistance.
The statement is so interesting because it is an acknowledgement that Tel Aviv is heavily dependent on Washington – first and foremost for weapons and military aid, but also diplomatic cover for its violent, decades-long military occupation of Palestinian lands and property.
For years, top lawmakers have repeated a version of Joe Biden’s “If Israel did not exist, the US would have to invent it” line, suggesting Israel is crucial to US security, with some American lawmakers even asserting that Israel’s defense is more important than protecting the “homeland.”
