Israel as US geoeconomics tool is getting discredited

In the American repertoire of geoeconomics tools, Israel occupies a vital position and keeping her out of harm’s way is a bipartisan policy parameter.  To America’s surprise the sacrosanct policy of ‘safety and superiority of Israel’ is getting discredited because the Goliath is being battered by a group of non-state actors of the resistance.

The date 7^th October 2023 is marked in history as the beginning of the venture to remove Israel as Americas’ geoeconomics tool. When the HAMAS led resistance attacked inside Israel and took valuable hostages it acted as the Shofar trembling the Israelis by and large. Surprise on one side speed on the other the attack destroyed the myth of Invincibility of the country. It did not stop at that. Geoeconomics power play that kept Israel above her neighbours in terms of shock and awe started to dissipate. Here are few illustrations:

1. De-populating the northern sector that is vibrant with Silicon Valley and farming lands for fruits and vegetable was effected intentionally by the resistance. More than several hundred thousand settlers had to be evacuated to south.

2. Migration bites in the reverse order. Tel-Aviv and the environs that were high grounds of intellectual, professional and technology buffs migrating in saw many of these budding Israelis started to fly out to safe destinations till such time calm prevails once again.

3. Isolation of Israel in the global scene began to sting not only the PR guys but even the importers & exporters inside Israel. It happened in two ways: one is the transport by sea was predicated with constant rocket attacks by Hezbollah on the north and Houthis far away in the Red Sea. Two, the perception of Israel as genocidal apartheid regime began to crystallise in the minds of people in the global south who until that time was sympathetic towards the course of Israel as a vibrant democracy in the sea of Arab despots.

3. The name & fame Israel built up as reliable technology partner in terms of security, defence & surveillance software got severe beating. Besides its armament industry pouring out iron dome type defence, intelligence gathering and modern attack weapons was taken aback as the resistance was able to evade all these and successfully attacked sensitive areas throughout Israel.

4. Yet another geoeconomics failure lies in the umbilical code binding America and Israel which is being systematically severed. It is evident from most of the liberals in the Democratic Party voicing their opposition to sending money and arms to Israel. The growing chorus of objection towards Israel as part of national security of America is expected to have a big dent over the possibility of Biden’s chance for a second term.

5. More than anything else the fear factor for Israel has vanished. Israel can survive only when she can generate and sustain fear amongst her Arab Neighbours. Once the fear for Israel is gone, even the minions could easily take on the Goliath.

6. Can America invent a ‘Nova Israel’ to keep her geoeconomics noose over the bulls of Middle-East?

 

Cheers!
