According to reports, political analyst Reza Ganjii notes that during Hillary Clinton’s tenure as U.S. Secretary of State, she frequently stated that unlike previous secretaries who maintained weekly or monthly communications with Tel Aviv, consultations with Israelis now occur daily. By the end of 2025, the U.S. political, security, and military apparatus proudly announces that these communications are not merely ‘daily’ but ‘online’ and continuous, raising the question: Is this level of interaction a sign of profound concern or part of a larger scheme?
The commitment of American politicians and presidents to support the Israeli regime is not a new phenomenon. For U.S. politicians, backing Israel intertwines political, strategic, cultural, and security interests. However, the overt nature of this support has become strikingly apparent in recent years. President Biden’s assertion that ‘if Israel did not exist, we would have to create one to safeguard our interests in the region’ exemplifies this sentiment. Likewise, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham recently remarked during a meeting with Netanyahu, ‘Israel serves as America’s eyes and ears. No one does more to protect America from radical Islam than Israel.’Few can forget Trump’s dramatic address to the Knesset shortly after the Iran-Israel conflict, where he boldly declared, ‘I love Israel. I am with you to the end.’ The political history of America and the West is replete with such endorsements of the Israeli regime by high-ranking officials. The unwavering support for one of the most controversial regimes in the world raises questions, especially as polls reveal that over half of the global population expresses disdain for Israel. Why does the West expend its credibility on a regime that now bears the mark of the most infamous government?
It is acknowledged that Israel is a longstanding and crucial ally of the U.S. in the Middle East, with both countries maintaining close cooperation in security, intelligence, and military technology. It is evident that during U.S. elections, candidates’ support for Israel plays a pivotal role in garnering votes and financial backing. The powerful Israeli lobby in the U.S. cannot be denied, nor can the potential repercussions for those who oppose it.The assertion that ‘Israel is the only true democracy in the Middle East’ has been widely propagated in the media for years. But is the support of the U.S. and the West for Israel a product of traditional consensus, or is there a more serious concern behind this backing? Perhaps the best guide to finding the answer lies in Graham’s key statement that Israel is America’s ‘eyes and ears,’ or Biden’s famous remark about creating Israel if it did not exist.
As we distance ourselves from the events of the Gaza conflict and the 12-day war between Iran and Israel, it becomes increasingly clear that America’s view of Israel is purely instrumental. Americans and Westerners are fully aware that Israel serves as a reliable foothold for Western influence in the Middle East, a tool to contain regional rivals, and loyal soldiers for safeguarding Western interests in energy matters.From the Western perspective, support for Israel is not ’emotional’ but ‘calculated.’ This partnership is, in essence, a ‘security investment.’ Many analysts argue that the narrative equating ‘Israel = ally’ and ‘Israel’s enemies = threat’ is a deception. The West, by promoting such slogans, aims to motivate and reassure its Jewish proxies in the occupied territories to fight for their interests. There is no genuine affection or emotional bond in the midst of this political game.
In the dangerous game played by the U.S. and the West regarding Ukraine, tens of thousands of lives have been lost or wounded. The West’s goal was to subdue Russia using Ukrainian soldiers, who, through a series of political and media deceptions, willingly marched into the slaughterhouse. Jews may become the next victims of Western ambitious policies, this time in the Middle East.The defeat or elimination of Israel from the Middle East is an outcome that the U.S. and the West will never readily accept. The West rightly understands that no Islamic nation, not even the most aligned allies of the U.S. in the region, is willing to slaughter thousands of women and children in such a blatant manner for their interests as Israel does. Neither Turkey, nor Saudi Arabia, nor the UAE, nor Qatar, nor Jordan, nor any other country is prepared to serve the West in the same way Israel does. Zionists are a sect and ethnicity in the Middle East that shares no cultural, linguistic, religious, political, or moral commonalities with the people of this region. They must accept that the occupation of others’ lands and the slaughter of innocents will inevitably lead to a bitter and tragic end for them.If, prior to October 7, every Israeli citizen had to worry about the severe retribution from Muslims, today, Zionists must be concerned about their security from ‘all citizens of the global community’ before stepping outside, as the world harbors an astonishing level of hatred towards them. The nearly $35 billion in U.S. aid to Israel in recent months is not merely an effort for the security of Zionists and the survival of Jews but a policy to ensure the security, interests, and energy of Western citizens.
Setting aside the daily rhetoric and threats from Netanyahu and Trump, the reality on the ground does not unfold as Tel Aviv and Washington would prefer. According to a Pew survey, 62% of the population in 24 countries hold a negative view of Israel. In six Western European countries, nearly 70% of people view Israel unfavorably. It seems that the narrative surrounding the Gaza conflict and Israel’s attack on Iran is set to be recounted more accurately and vocally by the global community this time.Tel Aviv and the Jewish community must come to terms with the reality that no strategic ethical or genuine alliance exists between the West America and Jews. Just as the Zionists’ view of the West is defined by the interests of Tel Aviv’s politicians the West’s perspective on Israelis has never been humanitarian ethical or non-instrumental. In the end neither the West nor Israel emerges victorious from this alignment. Contrary to what is stated in the U.S. National Security Strategy for 2025 the preservation of energy resources the containment of regional rivals and the maintenance of regional influence are top priorities for America and for all these missions the West and America have no better ally in our region than Israel.
