The recent vote by the House against an amendment to block U.S. military aid to Israel could lead to Washington’s Israelization by forcing Jerusalem to defend itself against terrorist threats. Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), the outgoing anti-Israel crusader, sponsored the amendment. “Israelization’s” biggest beneficiary would be Iran.

Massie’s amendment would have prohibited funds from being used for Israel. The amendment was intended as an affront to President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
