remember that no matter who you vote for your tax dollars are still going to israel
Your tax money goes to American companies that manufacture the weapons and then sends them yo Israel, so you are basically donating the money to the American weapons sector.
Oh, and it is mich cheaper than maintaining a base in Qatar.
@zeromarker US base in Qatar is paid by Qatari government! And so for any other country hosting US military bases.
@@4kwalkingtravel576
No. Countries housing US bases do pay for them but the do not cover all the cost.
The US still puts hundreds of millions into these bases.

Israel is second but you can see a lot of muslim and arab countries.
10 countries that receive the most U.S. foreign aid:
Afghanistan ($4.89 billion)
Israel ($3.3 billion)
Jordan ($1.72 billion)
Egypt ($1.46 billion)
Iraq ($960 million)
Ethiopia ($922 million)
Yemen ($809 million)
Colombia ($800 million)
Nigeria ($793 million)
Lebanon ($790 million)
@zeromarker nothing is for free. That aid money is a bribe for the dictatorship in these countries.
Afghanistan-taliban: futur plan to be platform to attack us enemies since Afghanistan have borders with, China silk road, Iran, and turkic countries allies of Russia.
Egypt: 90 million population controlled by dictatorship military regime , strongest ally of Israel apartheid state, and its terrorism.
Jordan: buffer state and ally of Israel apartheid state, protecting Israel borders.
Lebanon: one of the most corrupt and chaotic countries, the government is Israel terrorist state ally, and US aid money is to compete with Hezbollah strong popularity and influence over the country
Yemen: This was historically the strongest country in the Arabian peninsula, now its Gulf countries ( allies of terrorist state of Israel ) backyard. The US aid money is also a bribe for the dictatorship to counter the Shia Yemeni allies of Iran.
Remember, this huge amounts of money are sent every year, I am Muslim, and it makes me fcking angry. This corrupt US government is stealing American tax money to bribe foreign countries.
80% of that Aid is indirect strategic aid for Israel. If the US helped establish democracies in those countries just by not intervening using CIA and other filthy methods.
Those countries' economies will flourish. They might help Palestinians attack Israel , but that will put pressure on Israel , the only terrorist state in the world who directly target civilians, negotiations will be between the arabs and Israel, and they will be peace and 2 state solution with minimum damage and Americans tax money spent on American infrastructure.
But the western elite warmongers, 3rd world dictatorship, secret societies who want to build the solomon temple, they are evil and corrupt people who use us and our money to fight their wars.
The US position has not changed, however, Ted Koppel asked some tough questions here. There is no one in US media today who will ask these questions without being fired or ostracized!
US position will change.

It's so sad how the media has been degraded
@@lucasw7178All mainstream media is owned by just a few conglomerates. What did we expect?
USA general: we need to support Israel as it is our only friend in the middle east.
USA historian: before the founding of Israel, we had no enemies in the middle east.
DIG THAT! 👏🏼👏🏼
That historian would be wrong. Even out founding fathers had zero respect for Arab Muslim terrorist. That's a historian who doesn't know his history.
We need to protect US because that can cause us a lot of issues
"USA historian" should probably look up the first war America fought after gaining its independence.
Quite the opposite, Arabs have captured over 4 million (!!!) Europeans and Americans into slavery, which caused the US to fight the Berber wars. The Arab Khalif told president Jefferson at the time that the Quran compells Muslims to fight Jihad against Kafirs (infidels). Before the founding of Israel, the Jews and the Muslims kind of coexisted (kind of, because the Quran also calls for annihalation of Jews but there's a Fatwa of Dawha which is a temporary truce (Hudna) if the "Kaffir" pays heavy taxes. After the founding of Israel, it was considered as a representative of the west and America in Ard el Islam ( Muslim land) and therefore the little satan, while the US has always been the big satan. So, I'd say it's quite the opposite. Israell has all the enemies in the middle east because it is seen as the 51st state and a US offshoot.
We should ask the survivors of the USS Liberty if the United States should support Israel.
Now your talking !! Israel tried to sink her , and i think i know why
LBJ Knows ! Why
And they would agree because Israel publicly apologized and paid reparations for this mistake
Yea this should be in our history books
Bingo!!!!!!!!!!

The politicians ability to lie to the camera in a straight face never ceases to amaze. It's an ability that most people don't have and can't learn.

The key is sincerity. Once you can fake that, you've got it made.
"moral commitment" LOL
*"No one who becomes President will ever abandon the very entity that placed him in that position" is what Nixon desperately wanted to say.*
He legit repeats the same propaganda they repeat to this day
How did Israel make Nixon president??
@@Extra_050Jewish money did. The same money they now withdraw from the universities that do not support Israel.

Where was Israel’s “moral commitment” during USS Liberty?
It was a mistake and both sides discussed it thoroughly afterwards. How many friendly ships and air planes were shot down by the Allies during the war due to sheer amount of confusion and panic? This is just like that. US stands united with Israel.

Nixon was a decent man, Watergate was a scam, Biden does things a thousand times worse on a daily basis.
It is more Political wealth control muscle, President Tate complained about having to submit. Same as Rothschilds had a big influence on Brits giving Palestine to "hebrews" / "Israelites".
You show your ignorance. Nixon saved Israel when all guns were aimed at them. Everyone is more than one action like Watergate. He opened up our relationship with China. Read more.
Did he literally said it’s a moral issue, a moral commitment! Did he literally said that😂😂😂
Of course , just like IDF calls itself the most moral army in the world
The grip that Israel lobby has over US lawmakers are amazing and astounding. It could make any thriller movie pale in comparison.
An AIPAC official once caught bragging that he could get US Congressmen signatures on a piece of napkin on any issues.
Because Israel is western in nature and is in the middle east. Thry say it has little strategic value but Israeli is the only land where Americans are welcome. Islamist despite economic ties don't like non Islamic people. I'm fact thry hate and want them to not exist.
@osamabinladenssecondgirlfr4241 oh you mean like Jeffrey epstein, the rosenbergs, or the uss liberty? Oh wait that's all real.

"If there isn't significant strategic value, why do you continue to support Israel?"
"Because there is still significant strategic value really, we're just lying about it."
Huh? Why would an American politician lie about that? If anything, he would lie in the opposite direction.
@@sc9881 because then they're admitting exactly what Iran, Russia, China etc are accusing them of. It would render complete rubbish half of what they try to claim at the UN.

@@XhoowieX I don’t see why it’d hurt anything to say the support benefits us as well.
@@sc9881 you don't see why the American Government think it would undermine their positions on Russian/Chinese/Iranian, Iraqi in the past, etc expansions to admit that they have a satellite state in the Middle East? Come on now.
Petro dollar and international waters so that the interest
It's all about money not morals
The fact that it’s the only democracy in that area, that sounds like strategic value to me
Nope, that ain't strategic at all, as democracy and all of that bs are just silly things, because in reality, state agencies are ruling and they know how to get around elections and all that.
How can someone call an Apartheid state Democratic. Doesn't make sense.
I would add that the moral commitment is based on the Judeo part of the Judeo-Chrisitan foundation of the USA. That is the root.
How come these moral commitments were never felt towards South Africa, and many other African countries!
They don't have money
South Africa?South Africa is ruled by a corrupt family by name of Mandela.
South Africans don’t have the moral fortitude to create something like Epstein Island in order to blackmail our politicians
Never for south africa and african countries, dude the usa donate billions of aids every year to africa
And south africa' apartheid government was sanctioned and pressured by mostly the U.S to end its regime
@kevin Western governments are racist regimes. Look at how they dealt with Ukraine and the Palestinians. Weapons to Ukraine to defend themselves, weapons to Israel to kill Palestinians.
It would be almost politically suicidal for members of Congress to espouse a balanced position between Israel and Palestine, to suggest that Israel comply with international law or to speak in defense of justice or human rights for Palestinians. If they did so, they couldn't be reelected." ~ Jimmy Carter
So they decide to shut their mouth and ignore the truth and also to support injustice and oppression and give power to the wrongdoer. They sell their hereafter for election.
Don't like carter but he's a real one for this. If you say the Israel lobby is extremely powerful in our government your antisemetic when its laughably provable
Jimmy Carter? seriously? you quote the worst president in history, the man who handed Iran to crazy islamic clergy? Thanks God Reagan was at hand to save the USA from the carter awful presidency.
To be fair Cater had a bad economy and made bad geopolitical decisions.
Israel being a country is violating Palestinian’s human rights? Because that’s why they keep attacking them.
Evil supports evil... No surprise there.
The American people are entitled to the 4 billion we give Israel. Imagine larger tax refunds, lower taxes, cheaper healthcare, more affordable housing, better education, cheaper colleges and universities, etc... All that we could do with this money. And inflation would decrease.
It could be...
But the commitment is NOT to American citizens...
From 4 billion? 😂😂😂😂
Thats about $12 per Americsn citizen......
Youre a dimwit
Well said. Americans need to march the streets to get this money back.
10 dollar larger tax refund and none of the rest lol.
And Israel is a wealthy country that doesn’t need our aide.
Great talk when there was no social media ! 😂
I am surprised he did not mention AIPAC's money 😂
But are you really?
@@kermitfrog593 no. I was just joking
It’s implied lol
Just remember, Ashkinazi jews are not the original real jews of the Bible! Hence Jew-ish
When I was a kid Aipac emphasized publishing: Near East Report and Myths & Facts. I read them regularly growing up. That's the Aipac of Nixon's time.
Political campaigns were much less expensive then.
It was the campaign finance reform in response to Nixon's scandals that gave clout to aipac.
There was plenty of oil money (Middle Eastern oil money) in Washington DC and that motivated Aipac to become more active.
Cynicism is a fine first stance dealing with the unknown, but follow up with fact seeking before you impose a contemporary framework to understand events of half a century ago when things were very different. Nixon was a politician from southern California which was very conservative back then and a center of his financial support.
I ended my financial support for Aipac when then actively created a campaign finance entity favoring candidates who for other reasons I didn't want to support. It's only in recent years that Aipac got into campaign financial donations. That's when it changed to no longer be bipartisan. My own experience was this was membership led: fewer and fewer attendees I knew were voting for Democrats as the national political divide became more stark. That's when I stopped renewing my membership.
Read "The making of the president, 1968" by T H White to reorient to how different the times were and shake up your preconceptions.
Moral commitment 😂😂😂
The AIPAC moral😂😂😂😂😂
USA: Israel only democracy in the middle east, morally from one democracy to another, never will abandon it.
Also USA: topples Iranian democracy for a theocracy, coz they didn’t like the idea of nationalising their resources.
This is the most mind-blowing degree of honesty about the Israeli issue from the media that I have ever seen. Notice how Dick never says the relationship is a good thing, but it is inevitable.
Repeating the same marketing that Israel used to fool its own heads of cattle to fill their pens? "must support israel or another holocaust!!". Moronic.
Nixon isn't the moron here, Nixon was doing exactly as Israel told him to do and pushing the agenda exactly like Biden is doing to this day, that's how long Israel has held the president of the united state's balls in their grip.
❤Precisely. Well said and well OBSERVED.
Honesty?? ...since when are these people ever honest??

He never mentioned the Jewish lobby in the USA and their money. Or did I miss something.😂😂😂
Nixon knew the truth he just can't say it publicly like he did in his private tapes because of massive public outrage.
The public would accept Jewish lobby at anytime than a cent from an Arab. After all Jewish don't hate US nor have they ever killed our civilians unlike Muslims have.

Ever read Ecclesiastes by any chance?
The demonrats make him look like a choirboy
And Isreal has corrupted and taken advantage of that one sided relationship.
someone must have paid him a great deal of money to say this because in his private and recorded conversation, he held a very different point of view.
or maybe he meant what he said. we Jews dont care one way or another about his private antisemitic views, because we know that when push came to shove, he saved Israel from total destruction in the 1973 Yom Kippur War
Read Ben Stein's recent book. He absolutely refutes the claim that Richard Nixon was antisemitic.
nixon has his own loyal jews. Ben Stein and Kissinger are among them.
i was not aware of Ben Stein's new book, but i do agree with his assessment. back in 1973 when President Nixon was saving Israel in the Yom Kippur War, he not only overrode the wishes of the State Department, but did it in such a strong, ernest, insistent way that simply could not come from the mouth of somebody who doesn't like Jews. and even if he was recorded as swearing profanities against Jews, who hasn't on occasion gotten upset with one's friends? Even Donald Trump, who is such a wonderfully fantastic friend of the Jews, had some criticisms for his long-time friend Benjamin Netanyahu several weeks ago. one has to weigh things in their full context before rushing to judgment on such matters
That’s actually a sign of a good politician, to be able to say one thing in public and to absolutely detest it in private lol
He could hardly say it's the only way to get campaign financing past AIPAC, now could he. Instead he quoted AIPAC propaganda exactly.
I think America should support only and nothing more than what is rational to do, not because America has "moral" or I should say false emotional commitment with Israel. America must be just with any conflict and not get involved in some emotional commitment with Israel. America has its own nation with its own values and commitments.
I think Israel does have ‘strategic’ value but mostly for American war supply companies who know they are virtually assured of ongoing business as long as Israel and any of its Arab neighbours don’t see eye to eye.
There is no strategic interest that Israel bring to US. Nothing strategic about supporting an oppressor regime when US claims to be champion of human rights.
Unless US considers the following as strategic
1. Needs to constantly protect Israel at UN due to its transgression of Inernational law
2. Needs to give USD 4 billion annually minimum as rewards for AIPAC grip on lawmakers
3. Show US hypocrite for its unequivocal support of Israel despite its apartheid, collective pumishment, injustice, land theft, killing of Palestinian on regular basis.
He’s right about Israel not having strategic value to the USA. But he’s lying when he says the USA will never abandon Israel because of a moral commitment, thats ridiculous.
Um, it does now, Israel is a MAJOR technology partner to the USA. Again, this interview was 31 years ago, the world has changed A LOT.
@@rsr789 Israel is a high tech center but that doesn’t mean it’s strategically valuable to the USA unless the USA actually controls that technology, and benefits from it, which it doesn’t. I think that Israel has power over the USA, not vice versa. The USA has strategic value to Israel.
I can’t even begin to argue with this retardation. You win.
Israel has made sure to influence and support our Lawmakers to lobby for Their interests! It has worked but I see the Cracks! You can not hide the Oppression, brutality, and Apartheid with today’s technology available to us. Governments hide their bad deeds but the Internet and UA-cam let’s us see behind their walls. That is how I found out about Israel, not from the Veil of our own government. I think we have been brainwashed or influenced not to see the Apartheid in Israel, but it seems the rest of the world has known this. I finally opened my eyes to what Israel is and why we should not be on their side. I firmly believe that when more of my fellow Americans see past the Jewish influence and open their eyes to what Israel has become, they will also abandon Israel!
Going forward, for my part, I will not knowingly vote for any candidate or politicians who pledges support for Israel! I don’t want our bombs or missiles to bury innocent Civilians or little Children!!! I don’t want any part of their GENOCIDE!!
I look forward to see Israel face charges in the international community!
Israel has strategic value today.
I have yet to hear an Israeli leader fawning over us like this.
Gee its almost like one is owned by the other or something haha
And why should they?
It's only US christian fundamentalists who have these "special" (some would say doomsday cultist) views on Israel.
Israelis don't take that seriously, so why would they fawn over us. Most of them think we're silly or even slightly stupid, but they are happy to exploit that.
90% of Israelis say they love America. Look at Netanyahu's speeches for evidence.
All top US officials are jewish with dual citizenship with Israel including Blinken! US is a hijacked state, Kennedy tried to warn you but they got him!
we are slaves and chumps to them
A Democracy?
A joke.
Now it becomes clear why the media and opposing parties push so hard to disgrace him.
The safety of Americans, and American soldiers, is paramount to ANY involvement, and any war. If a nation cannot sustain itself, without involving America's money, or manpower, then they shouldn't exist. The American taxpayer is not an ATM, or suicide soldier, for the rest of the world, no matter how many false flags.
the Zionists control America
Shouldn't exist is extreme though and a rather poor choice of words, considering that's exactly what most of Israel's neighbours want.
Amen
@@bradavonremind me why u ppl were being kicked out of every country before u had to steal someone elses land?

Moral ? What were you doing in Vietnam? Why do you still support and perpetuate many dictatorships in that region like Egypt? How come everyone brings up the Holocaust, which is definitely an abomination! But never equates it with the 20 million Russians killed in WW2 , the massacre of Armenians? Who is pulling the strings and why are we being selective? I think the answer lies behind the entourage of the US presidents like Stuart Seldowitz
His questions are penetrating, but fair for the most part. Now, while journalists are far less polished and courteous in challenging politicians, they are only trying to change the narrative to their liking.

Thank you!
Despite the outsized role elite Jews play in U.S. society, it is taboo to say so. For example, a telling moment in the epic Tucker Carlson/Vladimir Putin interview (February 8, 2024) was when Tucker asked Putin who he thinks actually makes the decisions in the United States. Putin's inscrutable response was "I don't know."
Putin's answer hits like a ton of bricks because a mere five days earlier, Libertarian Dave Smith asked Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. essentially the same question: "Do you have concerns about the level of Israeli influence in our politics here in the United States of America?" After a long, awkward, pregnant pause, RFK, Jr. likewise responded, "I don't know."
Be it mainstream or alternative, left or right, no one dares mention THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM. Statesmen, journalists, politicians, analysts, podcasters, opinionators--everyone probes the world's problems, yet few identify Jewish Power as a main source of those problems.
All these men are thoughtful and well-informed on their subjects; so why, then, do they refuse to directly address the Jewish Question? It is the central aspect of the matters at hand. Without the Jewish angle, nothing really makes sense. At best, we have half the story. Where is the full story? Are they ignorant of it? Do they know, and yet willfully avoid it? Either way, the results are not good.
Actually its the opposite: they are only concerned about the strategic issue & geopolitics, they have nothing to do with morality.
There’s also a third reason why America won’t abandon Israel, and that has to do with Israel’s nukes that could potentially be lost or sold in the event they collapse.
Look up the *Vela* *incident*
U mean the uranium they stole from us? Right before Kennedy was killed? Their PM had to resign....
What a coincidence, a year later they open fire on an American vessel
They will never collapse but will be saved at the end of days. Remember from lsrael to be a Nation still existing today is a huge marcle itself.
But the 2 most important reasons are the Evangelicals who want the Rapture to happen, and all the money they and AIPAC and other lobbies bribe most of congress with.

Great president . Iranian people will never forget his support
Agree or not, but he expresses his argument very clearly.
Unlike "today's" presidents
As an American citizen and taxpayer, it appears that Israel and its citizens, particularly the Zionists, benefit significantly from these funds. Meanwhile, our middle-class and poor citizens face challenges in obtaining sufficient medical coverage and encounter daily difficulties in meeting basic needs.
This raises a question of justice when it seems that Israel, especially the Zionists, enjoys privileges, including unemployment support, more easily compared to our citizens, making us feel as if we are working to support the well-being of the Israeli citizen while facing our own challenges.
They get military aid, not unemployment assistance.
@@jamesr8584I think you need to read more little bit before you answer without knowledge.
The United States provides both military and economic aid to Israel. The economic aid, often in the form of grants, has been around $3.3 billion annually. This includes support for various programs and initiatives. For the most current and precise figures, I recommend checking the latest information from official government sources. Which is taxpayers money and American citizens funds. As the government should spend this money for us.
The illegals coming over here seem to get all the food, housing and health care they need.
The reason is discussed thoroughly in John J. Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt’s The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy.
It’s the Israel lobby.
Yep
Agree.
Freemasons work for yews look
how you sold out America and all the freemasons before you for the yews money

*•••Thank you for the reference. Will borrow from library and read to my high EQ (from 50% Arab genes) 10 & 8 year old sons. Quran made my kids 6 grade levels above normal US school kids. US education is brain numbingly idiotic! (& shamelessly brainwash own innocent US kids. That is CHILD ABUSE!*
Nixon would have never believed that we could have a president like Obama or Biden !
I think things have changed in 2024. The israelis have treated the Palestinians very badly for at least the last decade.
If America stopped supporting Israel unconditionally it might force the Israeli government to become more conciliatory and willing to negotiate.
Having said that, Hamas is an outrageous terrorist group.
Nixon's private conversations were a little different.
Supposedly he was a racist and an antisemite
Yeah, you're right. Especially with Spiro Agnew.
😂😂😂
what did he say?
@@birdwife589yes what did he say?
Why does it feel that they are unseen actors working behind the scenes, that what we see today was already planned to achieve secret objectives through the chaos
How times have changed
Thank you
Nixon and moral values?!!! Such a joke!
An oxymoron
"There is no doubt about American peoples commitment to Israel". Well he got that wrong as these mass demonstrations and rallies show. Politicians views are very time limited and dated interviews like this are useless to modern audiences. Nixon was a President of his time, and his time is gone.
Thanks goodness for that. Even in his day, they called him "Tricky Dick" and considered him a crook.
That AIPAC money must be so good.
Moral commitment: code for deferring to a higher entity's edicts which is not God/divine. Otherwise, he''d say it clearly.
I remember the Nickel Grass airlift operation from USA to Israel between october 1973 to november 1973.
Not moral commitments but RACIAL COMMITMENTS.
Nixon got better on this at the end of his presidency 👍
USS Liberty, Jonathon Pollard and Presidential phone calls.
Moral commitment 😂😂😂 very funny
Anybody else notice the intense blinking when he states the two reasons?
