Opinion

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is often criticized for failing to produce a vision for the ‘next day’, meaning the day following the end of the Gaza war. 

Some of these criticisms emanate from Israel’s traditional western allies, who are wary of Netanyahu’s personal and political agendas, which are fixated on delaying his corruption trials and ensuring that his extremist allies remain committed to the current government coalition. 

The criticism however is loudest in Israel itself.

Back in September 2017 I wrote an article for the Unz Review site entitled “America’s Jews Are Driving America’s Wars” with the subtitle “Shouldn’t they recuse themselves when dealing with the Middle East?” The article focused on the fact that most of the individuals and groups in the US that were agitating for war with Iran in particular were Jewish and most did not hide their loyalty to Israel, headed then as now by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. I argued that it was a mistake to have Jews managing America’s relationships in the Middle East in particular as some of them certainly would experience a conflict of interest that would inevitably not be beneficial to the United States. And, one might add, that in spite of that tie that binds with a foreign government, no pro-Israel group has ever been compelled to register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act of 1938 which would provide some transparency on finances and concerning direct contacts with the Israeli government or its Embassy in Washington.

BANGKOK, Thailand -- China let loose their robot dogs of war -- shooting machine guns mounted on their backs -- during Beijing's biggest military exercise in Cambodia May 16-30, amid a smoldering rivalry along the Gulf of Thailand used by China's Navy and the U.S. 7th Fleet's nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

The 15-day Golden Dragon 2024 exercises were led by China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) Southern Theater Command guiding Beijing's closest ally in Southeast Asia, the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces.

The U.S. and China are taking turns wooing Cambodia's West Point-educated prime minister with guns, money and friendship, but the Chinese are scoring most of the rewards.

Just as Beijing's biggest military exercise in Cambodia ended, U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin arrived in Phnom Penh to offer military assistance and mend the often rough diplomatic relations between the two former wartime enemies.

Mr. Austin met Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Manet and Defense Minister Tea Seiha during his one-day stop on June 4, after attending a Singapore defense forum where he met his Chinese counterpart Adm. Dong Jun.
