Former U.S. President Donald Trump, once a staunch supporter of Israel, has joined a growing anti-Israel sentiment in the United States, according to the article. Trump reportedly stated that "because of us" he lost the midterm elections, attributing the loss to "disgust" and the war in Iran, which Israel is perceived to have drawn the White House into. The article warns that Israel has become a "toxic brand" even among Republicans, a situation requiring urgent action. This threat, the author argues, is more severe and dangerous to Israel's existence than Iran, Hezbollah, or Hamas.
The piece asserts that this trend goes beyond a mere political maneuver and represents a fundamental erosion of current and future American support for Israel, impacting political backing, public opinion, and core values like justice and partnership. The article calls for an immediate change in Israeli policy, advocating for a new government that presents a strategic plan for regional stability through agreements with neighbors. It also emphasizes the need for Israel to champion democracy and values, and to cease "unrestrained expansion" in other territories.
Furthermore, the article urges an end to the "rampant behavior of violent settlers" in the territories and calls for a new, healthy, honest, and fair dialogue with the United States. The ultimate goal, it states, should be to restore bipartisan support in the U.S. by relinquishing certain aspirations to preserve the crucial alliance, without which Israel's freedom would be severely jeopardized.
