When Did Israel Become More Important Than NATO?

from The Lonely Liberal · host Nick Zenkin

The U.S. is tariffing Canada, threatening NATO allies, and freezing foreign aid worldwide — but Israel gets exempted from every rule, $16 billion in arms since October 2023, and total unconditional support. Why? We break down the three engines powering America's most lopsided alliance: the Cold War logic that outlived the Cold War, a lobby machine that's made it politically career-ending to ask questions, and 44 million evangelical Christians who support Israel because they believe it'll trigger the apocalypse and the second coming of Christ. Plus: the Democratic Party did an internal autopsy proving Gaza cost them the 2024 election — and then buried it. And for the voters who stayed home to 'send a message': how's that working out?
