America's longstanding special relationship was ill conceived from conception. On many issues mattering most, the Israeli tail wags the US dog. It's true whether or not Washington's interests are served.

Both countries threaten world peace. Together they endanger humanity. Freeman stopped short saying so. At the same time, he knows binding ties do more harm than good.

Reconsidering bad policy is long overdue. Israel is more liability than asset. It's true no matter who's prime minister.

Israel's government is its most belligerent and hardline in history. It menaces its neighbors. It threatens world peace. Washington prioritizes advancing its own imperium.

An alliance based on militarism, belligerence, racism, and human rights abuses is crucial to end, not support. Nothing in sight suggests it's likely. 

Freeman is rightly concerned. He understands impending perils. It's crucial to address them before it's too late. Few in Washington are frank enough to say so.
