The United States can and does coerce Israel in these matters. The loser in God’s sight: the United States.
There are some, although not me, who believe that God punishes the US with natural disasters when it screwed Israel.
George W Bush and Condi Rice did much damage to Israel.
Maybe the punishment was not a natural disaster, maybe it was something much more damaging and long lasting this time.
Maybe God’s punishment on the United States is Barak Obama.
