POLITICO reports that Rahm Emanuel is coming to Israel this week to deliver what is being framed as a major warning: unconditional U.S. support for Israel is over unless Israel returns to the old “two-state solution” track.
Good.
Let’s have this conversation clearly.
Israel is a sovereign state. Not a project of Washington consultants. Not a branch office of the Democratic Party. Not a client state waiting for Obama-era officials to fly in and lecture us about our own survival.
Israelis already tested the fantasy they are trying to revive.
We gave land. We left Gaza. We empowered “moderates.” We were told peace was around the corner.
Then came rockets, tunnels, terror armies, and October 7.
The Israeli public has moved on because reality forced us to move on. The far-left diplomatic worldview Rahm Emanuel is bringing with him barely exists here anymore, because Israelis are the ones who paid the price for it in blood.
America is a great ally. But Jewish sovereignty is not conditional. Israel does not need lectures from former officials who helped build the foreign policy illusions that collapsed in our faces. We need allies who understand the Middle East as it is, not as they wish it still was in a 1990s peace-process seminar.
Israel will decide Israel’s future. Not Rahm Emanuel. Not Obama nostalgia. Not anyone who thinks the Jewish state must trade security for applause.
