There has been a 40% increase in illegal settlements in 2016 at the same time the United States government is handing Israel $10.1 million military aid each single calendar day. Obviously its clear what is going on here, 54% of American foreign aid goes to Israel, 26% of that allows Israelis to buy weapons from Israeli suppliers and the list just goes on and on,&#8221;\u00a0Dankof said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\n\tDankof said a recent article by Philip Giraldi, a former CIA case officer and Army intelligence officer, titled <em>America\u2019s Jews Are Driving America\u2019s Wars<\/em> reveals how and why American Jews are dragging Washington into war in the Middle East. American Jews are faking the threat and dragging US politicians and the media towards war, according to Giraldi, who argues in his article that American Jews with an attachment to Israel should not be allowed anywhere near positions where they might deal with Middle East policy because it would be a \u201cconflict of interest\u201d between the US and Israel.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cAs long as the US government is controlled by Israeli interests\u00a0 &#8230; [Israel first]\u00a0 is not only going to continue, but it will also have more tragic consequences&#8230; the US will get involved in a wider war in the Middle East,&#8221; he stated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>madaresharghi US President Donald Trump is in pursuit of an \u201cIsrael first\u201d policy which can be seen in the recent telltale remarks of the US ambassador to Israel, a former US Senate candidate says.
