US security bureaucracy turns against Israel, sources say

Straturka, citing anonymous U.S. sources, has learned that Israel’s perceived control over Washington has sparked deep frustration within the U.S. national security establishment.

Believing themselves to be the world’s sole superpower, American bureaucrats are troubled by having to prioritize Israeli interests over their own.


One source noted that many of his friends feel like they’re merely serving as Israel’s public clerks in Washington. U.S. personnel also question why American resources—including the loss of lives—are being spent on conflicts and wars involving Israel, in which the U.S. doesn’t necessarily need to be involved.

Another grievance involves the financial contributions from the Jewish lobby to U.S. politicians. “You bark for whoever feeds you—it’s immoral and shameful,” a source said.

A third source revealed that some of his colleagues deliberately slow down when they realize their assignment involves Israel. He also warned of growing divisions among staff. While some tolerate Israeli influence, others oppose it either openly or covertly. He added that a few colleagues may have already leaked intelligence to Israel’s adversaries as a form of protest.

If this trend continues, the source warned, there could be stronger backlash against U.S. politicians, including unprecedented forms of protest.

One of the sources predicted that the coming days may see more anti-Israel actions within the U.S. security bureaucracy.
