שגריר ארה״ב בישראל מייק האקבי, אחד האנשים המקורבים לטראמפ, אומר היום בכנס JNS שהוא בדק את הרשתות של הנשיא לפני שעלה לנאום כדי לוודא שהוא עדיין בתפקיד.
קונטקסט: האקבי הביע תמיכה בעמדה הישראלית בעניין ההסכם עם איראן, ויש מי שראה בדבריו סתירה עם עמדת הממשל שלו, בעיקר נגד ואנס.

The Letter Israel’s Prime Minister Cannot Write
Mr. President of the United States,
There are things the Prime Minister of Israel cannot say to you.
He’s bound by diplomacy.
He’s committed to alliances.
He must measure every word.
I, on the other hand, am not restricted by these things.
I write to you as an Israeli citizen who happens to also be an American.
As a former soldier whose friends have children who are also active soldiers.
As a someone with strong roots in the north.
As a person who lived in a country that has buried soldiers, children, families, neighbors, and friends, and still stands tall.
And therefore, Mr. President, when you speak about Israel as if it owes you its very existence, perhaps it is time to bring you back down to earth.
Israel did not begin with Donald Trump.
Israel was not born in the White House.
Israel was not established because of a tweet, a speech, a deal, or a press conference.
Israel was built from the blood of generations.
From pioneers who buried children and kept plowing.
From fighters who fell so others could live.
From mothers who waited for sons who never returned.
From families who were burned, slaughtered, expelled, returned, and built a home here.
So, thank you for your support.
Thank you for your friendship.
Thank you for the moments when you stood beside us.
But do not be confused.
You did not save Israel.
Israel is saved every day by the soldiers of the IDF, the intelligence services, the security forces, the citizens who remain dedicated to living on the borders, and this people that refuses to disappear.
And then you tell the world that a Syrian rebel leader turned president can deal with Hezbollah better than Israel.
Really?
If what you mean is that he can do what Israel will never do, slaughter without warning, erase without checking, turn an entire village into a “security solution,” then yes, he is probably faster. Barbarians always work quickly. They do not pause for morality, for children, for uninvolved civilians, or for conscience.
But do not call that victory. And do not compare that to the IDF.
Because the Israel Defense Forces does not need a lesson in security from someone who mainly knows the language of blood & violence.
The Jewish people do not need permission to exist from any leader in the world.
Mr. President,
In the north of Israel, there is no “theoretical”.
No committees.
No PR headlines.
There are empty homes.
There are children who have not returned to their childhoods.
There are communities that have lived for years under threat.
There are families who received a knock at the door.
There are soldiers who fell so Northern towns can live.
And when you say “enough,” when you speak as though this can be wrapped up because it interferes with your agenda, you are not talking about some place on a map.
You are talking about our home.
Israel values alliances.
Israel knows how to say thank you.
Israel does not forget who stood by its side.
But Israel is not a puppet state.
It does not wait for permission to defend its children.
It will not abandon its border because it is convenient for Washington.
And it will not apologize for refusing to die quietly.
Mr. President,
Perhaps you have grown accustomed to thinking that everything begins and ends with
you.
It does not.
The people of Israel were here before you.
The State of Israel will be here after you.
And our north will not be a playing card in your game.
If you think you can explain to us who will guard our home better than our own children, then perhaps you truly have lost your north.
We have not.
And we do not intend to leave or lose the north no matter what you say!
JD Vance said Israel was “built with American money.”
That sounds great to people who learned Middle Eastern history from campaign slogans.
But it is not history. It is political theater from someone who discovered Israel yesterday morning.
Israel was not built by an American check.
Israel was built by Jewish money, Jewish labor, Israeli taxes, Zionist institutions, loans, diaspora donations, Israel Bonds, German reparations, austerity, immigration, sacrifice, industry, agriculture, and people who did not wait for Washington.
Long before Israel existed as a state, Jews in the land were already building towns, farms, kibbutzim, schools, universities, banks, defense groups, factories, hospitals, roads, and national institutions.
Before “American aid,” Jews put coins into blue JNF boxes.
Before billion-dollar defense packages, Holocaust survivors built a country from tents, ration cards, sweat, and trauma.
In 1948, when Israel declared independence and five Arab armies invaded, America did not “build” Israel’s army. America recognized Israel, which mattered, but the U.S. also supported an arms embargo.
Israel survived its first war not because America built it, but because Jews fought for their lives with too little money, too little ammunition.
So where did the money come from?
From Jews in the diaspora.
From Keren Hayesod.
From the Jewish National Fund.
From Israel Bonds.
From Israeli taxpayers.
From loans.
From German reparations.
From austerity.
From exports, agriculture, factories, innovation, and people working like their lives depended on it.
In 1951, Israel launched Israel Bonds to raise money from Jewish communities and investors abroad. That was not foreign aid. That was a young state borrowing money, building infrastructure, and paying it back.
In 1952, Israel signed reparations with West Germany. That money helped the young state absorb hundreds of thousands of Holocaust survivors and immigrants while recovering from severe shortages.
And Israelis themselves paid the real price.
The austerity years were not a slogan. Israel absorbed mass immigration, built housing, roads, ports, schools, hospitals, factories, and an army — while citizens lived under rationing, taxes, shortages, and a controlled economy.
Israel was not born because America clicked “send payment.”
Yes, America later became a crucial ally.
Yes, American military aid is important.
Yes, real friendship deserves gratitude.
But there is a massive difference between helping an ally become stronger and claiming you built that ally.
American aid helped strengthen Israel.
It did not create Israel.
By the time U.S. aid became central to Israel’s defense, Israel had already been founded, survived wars, built institutions, absorbed millions of immigrants, and turned itself from a poor country under rationing into a serious economy.
That is the part Vance wants to erase.
Israel was not a Washington real estate project.
Israel was not a startup that got seed funding from America.
Israel was not a charity case with a flag.
Israel was a nation that came home, built before it had sovereignty, fought before it had enough weapons, absorbed refugees before it had enough houses, built an economy before it had enough foreign currency, and became strong before American politicians started taking credit.
Today, Israel is one of the world’s most advanced economies. Its high-tech, cyber, defense, medical, agricultural, and AI innovation help the United States and the free world.
That did not come from foreign aid. It came from human capital, education, military necessity, research, risk-taking, and Jewish survival instinct.
America is an important ally.
But America is not Israel’s parent.
America is not Israel’s owner.
And America does not get to erase 3,000 years of Jewish identity and 78 years of Israeli sacrifice with one cheap populist line.
Israel was built with Jewish money, Israeli hands, Israeli brains, and Jewish blood.
America helped.
Israel built.
There is a huge difference.
