This Week In Palestine: Walter Hixson explores Israel’s "special relationship" with the US

As is so evident, Israel has a very special relationship to the US, unparalleled by any other country. We pour more foreign aid to Israel than any other country, largely for weapons built in the US, even though Israel’s largest exports are military and police weapons. They do not lack for money. They have the fifth largest GDP in the world. So why do we give these resources that they really do not need when resources are needed is so many other places? That is the question explored today by one of our favorite speakers, historian and author Walter Hixson. Here he is speaking at a forum sponsored by the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs. If your jaw is dropping over Hixson’s exploration of Israel’s special relationship with the US, you are not the only one. Israel owns the White House and The Congress, and therefore owns us.
