Moshe Arens : Pressure from fantasy land
Talkback
Title:Brave little Israel
Name:RedStarYeast
City: State: USA
Could brave little Israel go it alone against a hostile US administration? Imagine a United States that:
- halted annual cash gifts to Israel,
- suspended loan guarantees,
- blocked financial transfers from US charitable organizations,
- cancelled US travel visas for Israeli government officials and businessmen,
- suspended military/technological/scientific cooperation between the two countries, including the supply of military equipment,
- suspended El Al landings at US airports,
- urged allied nations to follow suit.
These are merely typical measures taken against regimes that have fallen out of US favor. How long would brave little Israel last? A week?
