Episode notes
Blurred U.S.-Israel Lines Risk U.S. Interests
- Daniel Davis warns that U.S.-Israel alignment has blurred into near-identity, erasing objective U.S. interest analysis.
- He argues perpetual unconditional support risks forcing U.S. policy to serve Israeli domestic goals rather than American needs.
Reevaluate Permanent Alliances Regularly
- Reassess alliances and apply George Washington's advice: avoid permanent friends or enemies.
- Adjust support only when it aligns with clear, updated U.S. interests rather than default loyalty.
U.S. Strikes Benefit Israeli, Not American, Aims
- Davis contends U.S. strikes on Iran served Israeli interests more than American ones and violated legal war-powers norms.
- He frames that action as evidence of U.S. policy being used as a proxy for Israeli goals.
