"Is Israel A US Ally?" Philip Giraldi, a former CIA counter-terrorism specialist and military intelligence officer, delivers a thought-provoking speech at the National Summit to Reassess the US-Israel "Special Relationship." Giraldi contends that Israel is not merely an unworthy ally, but it is not even a genuine friend, as it actively harms the United States through its influence on Congress and the media.
Giraldi underscores the hazardous role Israel played in the Iraq war and its potential influence on a future conflict with Iran.
He also sheds light on Israel's interference in American politics, including its support for Mitt Romney in the 2012 election.
Giraldi argues that Israel's persistent espionage against the United States is a significant reason why it should not receive billions of dollars in military assistance annually.
In this compelling speech, Giraldi questions the true nature of the U.S.-Israel relationship and calls for a reassessment of the so-called "Special Relationship."
