Let Us Rethink Our "Special Relationship" With Israel

I believe that the so-called “special relationship” now assumed to connect the United States and Israel ought to be radically rethought, in all its aspects and clear down to its deepest foundations. I believe such a rethinking would sooner or later put an end to this “special relationship” in anything at all like its present form. This “relationship” is sweepingly and grossly incompatible with our country’s sup­posed dedication to the cause of human rights throughout the world; it poisons the sheer basic honesty of that dedication. I have no illusion that our extrication from this involvement, this visibly and invisibly “entangling alliance”, will be easily or soon accomplished. We can’t begin to know about that until we try. I think it a duty to try, and to keep trying. Prof Charles Black
