Tucker Carlson and John Mearsheimer claimed they couldn't think of a single time in the last 40 years when the United States chose its own interests over Israel's — so Rabbi Daniel Rowe decided to jog their memory. In this episode of Rabbi Reacts, we walk through the full historical record, chronologically and calmly: 📅 1985 — U.S. pressures Israel to withdraw from Lebanon despite security concerns 📅 Late 1980s–90s — Arms sales to Saudi Arabia (AWACS, F-15s) over Israeli objections 📅 1991 — Gulf War: U.S. blocks Israel from retaliating against Iraqi Scud attacks 📅 1991–92 — Bush Sr. withholds loan guarantees to pressure Israel on settlements 📅 2000 — U.S. forces Israel to cancel Phalcon radar deal with China 📅 2008–2012 — Obama administration works to stop an Israeli strike on Iran 📅 2015 — JCPoA nuclear deal opposed by virtually all of Israel 📅 2016 — U.S. abstains on UN Security Council Resolution 2334 📅 2021 — U.S. presses for ceasefire during Hamas rocket attacks 📅 2023 — Biden administration opposes Israel's internal judicial reforms 📅 2023–24 — Arms transfer delays during the Gaza conflict The relationship between the U.S. and Israel is deep, genuine, and built on shared values — but the idea that America has never once acted in its own interest at Israel's expense simply doesn't hold up to scrutiny. Rabbi Rowe closes with a reflection from Jeremiah 17 on the limits of relying on human alliances, and a prayer for the day, as Isaiah prophesies, when the whole world comes together in peace.

What was Jerusalem like under Jordanian rule? Today is Yom Yerushalayim- marking 59 years since the liberation of Jerusalem People say Jerusalem was "better before 1967." Let me tell you what it was actually like. Under Jordanian rule, Jews were completely banned. Not less access. Zero access. All 58 synagogues in the Jewish Quarter were systematically destroyed. Every single one. Mount of Olives gravestones were ripped up and used for roads and latrines. This wasn't apartheid, it was worse. At least under apartheid people could physically live in the country. Christians weren't spared either. Church land ownership was restricted. Christian schools were controlled by the Jordanian government. And this happened despite a signed armistice agreement guaranteeing freedom of access. Jordan simply ignored it. Then came June 7th, 1967. Israeli paratroopers entered the Old City. Three words came over the radio that stopped a nation: "The Temple Mount is in our hands." Since that day, Muslims, Christians and Jews all worship freely here. All their populations have grown. The Waqf still administers the Temple Mount. Every church has remained open. Today I'm standing where the last Jews were expelled in 1948. Elderly people sitting in the squares. Children playing in the streets. Exactly as Zechariah prophesied. The city is alive. And it's open to everyone.
