The Basics
Many of the most serious dangers facing Americans today stem from our highly unusual relationship with Israel.
Our uniquely massive support for Israel has cost trillions of dollars and multitudes of lives. It has diminished our moral standing in the world, lessened our domestic freedoms, and exposed us to unnecessary and growing peril.

Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence... the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake..."
