America’s Costly Loyalty: Why Trump Must Reassess Blind Support for Israel

For decades, the United States has poured billions of dollars, military hardware, and diplomatic capital into Israel. Washington has shielded Israel at the United Nations, bankrolled its defense systems, and tolerated its defiance of international norms. And what has America received in return? Repeated slights, open defiance, and a partner that acts more like a master than an ally.

History of Disrespect This is not conjecture—it’s history. In 1967, Israeli forces attacked the USS Liberty, killing 34 American sailors. Washington buried the outrage to preserve the “special relationship.” In the 1980s, Israel’s Jonathan Pollard was caught spying on the United States, handing over troves of classified intelligence. Again, America looked the other way. In 2015, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu bypassed the White House entirely, addressing Congress to undermine U.S. negotiations with Iran. That was not partnership—it was humiliation.

Trump’s Unequal Exchange Donald Trump gave Israel more than any U.S. president before him. He moved the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem, recognized the Golan Heights as Israeli territory, and delivered normalization deals with Arab states. These were historic concessions. Yet Israel continued settlement expansion, ignored U.S. calls for restraint, and leaked sensitive intelligence that embarrassed American agencies. Trump gave, Israel took—and America was left weaker.

The Religious Trap Why did Trump tolerate this imbalance? Because his spiritual advisors convinced him that supporting Israel was not just policy, but salvation. They told him his personal standing with God depended on it. But this is a distortion of scripture. The Bible does not command blind allegiance to any modern state. It commands justice, truth, and humility. By allowing religious manipulation to dictate foreign policy, Trump has tied America’s strength to a theological misreading—and Israel has exploited it.

The Price of Blind Loyalty This is not alliance. This is dependency. America bankrolls Israel’s security, absorbs the diplomatic fallout of its actions, and tolerates open disrespect—all while being told it is “God’s will.” That is not leadership. That is weakness. And it is staining the legacy Trump promised his supporters: an America that is strong, independent, and respected.

A Call to President Trump

President Donald Trump must wake up. He must see that blind loyalty to Israel, under the guise of religious obligation, is making America vulnerable. True allies respect each other. True leaders put their nation first. If Trump continues down this path, history will not remember him as the president who made America great again, but as the one who allowed false prophets and foreign interests to tarnish its strength.
