At a time when the United States is grappling with economic strains, political division, and a shifting global order, one alliance continues to drain its resources and credibility: the unwavering support for Israel.

What was once framed as a strategic partnership is increasingly viewed as a burden — economically costly, morally compromising, and diplomatically .isolating

This report investigates the depth of Israeli influence on U.S. decision-making and asks a fundamental question:

?Has Israel become a liability America can no longer afford

?Section One: Is Israel Becoming a Strategic Liability for the U.S

The U.S. grants Israel $3.8 billion annually in direct military aid. Since World War II, total American aid to Israel has exceeded $150 billion.

Meanwhile, the U.S. faces a mounting economic crisis: national debt over $34 trillion, a federal deficit over 6% of GDP, and political division over spending.

Despite these issues, Congress approved over $14 billion in additional aid during the 2023 Gaza war, sparking backlash, especially among younger Americans.

This alliance is no longer purely strategic — it is politically, economically, and morally costly.

Section Two: Israel’s Influence Over U.S. Decision-Making

The Israeli lobby, particularly AIPAC, has evolved into a political force spending over $40 million to influence U.S. elections.

This reach extends to executive decisions, media, think tanks, and even military alignment. Despite high costs, America remains unconditionally aligned with Israel.

The merging of U.S. policy with Israel’s agenda makes it hard to distinguish between American interests and Israeli pressure.

Sometimes, Netanyahu appears to influence U.S. policy more than members of its own government.
