has never been bleaker. Some may believe that the United States has been too friendly with Israel, and too hostile and dismissive towards the Palestinians. On one level, that is valid. On another level, the U.S. has ceased being a true friend to both Israel and Palestine.
But, one may ask, didn’t the U.S. support relocating the American Embassy to Israel from Tel Aviv to “contested” Jerusalem? Wasn’t Prime Minister Netanyahu invited to address the U.S. Congress? Yes, that’s all true. But a true American friend to Israel would have opposed that
embassy relocation, and wouldn’t have permitted a hyper-partisan like Netanyahu such a platform. As well, a true American friend to Israel would oppose continued settlement construction and intrusion into Palestinian territory.

Administration have been pandering to AIPAC, Likud, Netanyahu, annexation-supporting donors, and the American Evangelical movement. Concerning being a true friend to Israel, they have abdicated that role in full. Bowing to every right-wing party whim in Israel is antithetical
to being a true friend to Israel herself.
That’s a position many in Israel and many Jewish communities around the world would agree with, whom believe in the human dignity of the Palestinians and the need for a two-state solution.
