To the items listed by PM Netanyahu one should add a few more:
- The US exerted heavy pressure on Israel to give up the Sinai - for "peace". The Sinai today is a cauldron of jihadists that threaten both Israel and Egypt.
- The US made Israel give up Gaza - for "peace". Since then Gaza has relentlessly attacked Israel. Today it hosts the worst jihadist terror organizations, including ISIS.
- The US tried for years to make Israel give up the Golan Heights. Israel almost did, except that the Arab Spring got in the way.
- What's on the Syrian side of the Golan Heights now is a mix of jihadi groups. The Iranian military is organizing some of those groups to attack Israel.
- The Heights protect Israeli communities. Without them the whole country would be even more vulnerable to terror.
- And the White House has exerted brutal pressure on Israel to partition its land along the 1967 borders to create an Islamic terror Palestinian state on ancient Judea and Samaria (West Bank). In the name of "peace".
- Like a salesman without principles, the US government has for decades used the slogan of "peace" to sell policies that are meant to unleash terror on Israel, and even the destruction of the country and the massacre of its Jewish inhabitants.
The Weekly Standard - Israel prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu used a portion of his AIPAC speech today to list the times when Israel has defied U.S. warnings to act in its self defense.
(NOTE: On the following video there is a second-long audio glitch when the PM tells how the US government OPPOSED Israel's declaration of Independence in 1948. In spite of that opposition, says Netanyahu, David Ben Gurion went ahead and declared Israel's independence.)
"America and Israel have had some serious disagreements over the course of our nearly 70-year-old friendship," said Netanyahu from the annual AIPAC policy conference. "That started with the beginning.
"In 1948, Secretary of State George Marshall opposed David Ben-Gurion's intention to declare statehood. That's an understatement -- he vehemently opposed it. But, Ben-Gurion, understanding what was at stake, went ahead and declared Israel's independence.
"In 1967, as an Arab noose was tightening around Israel's neck, the United States warned [the prime minister] that if Israel acted alone, it would be alone. But Israel did act --acted alone -- to defend itself.
"In 1981, under the leadership of Prime Minister Menachem Begin, Israel destroyed a nuclear reactor at Osirak. The United States criticized Israel and suspended arms-transfers for three months.
"And in 2002, after the worst wave of Palestinian terror attacks in Israel's history, Prime Minister Sharon launched Operation Defensive Shield. The United States demanded that Israel withdraw its troops immediately but Sharon continued until the operation was completed.
"There's a reason I mention all of these. I mention them to make a point. Despite occasional disagreements, the friendship between America and Israel grew stronger and stronger, decade after decade. And our friendship will weather the current disagreements as well to grow even stronger in the future."
Netanyahu is scheduled to address a joint session of Congress tomorrow.

THE WHITE HOUSE BLOCKED ALL ARMS SHIPMENTS TO ISRAEL during the 2014 Gaza war - but sold $11 BILLION in weapons to QATAR, which arms HAMAS - thus the White House is indirectly arming Palestinian terrorists that kill Jews.

says latest Gallup poll.
March 2, 2015
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Ahead of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech to the U.S. Congress that has strained relations between Israel and the White House, nearly twice as many Americans view Israel's leader favorably (45%) as unfavorably (24%).
Netanyahu's favorable score is up from 35% in 2012. His current favorable rating ties his highest rating among the six times Gallup has measured it, spanning his three tenures as prime minister.
