Not a Burden, a Blessing: Amb. Yoram Ettinger on the Two-Way Street Between America and Israel

Is America’s $3.8 billion a year to Israel charity, or the best defense investment the United States makes? In this re-release of one of our most requested conversations, former Israeli Ambassador Yoram Ettinger joins Laurie Cardoza-Moore to answer the isolationists with the facts.He walks through intelligence valued at five CIAs, battle lessons that saved Lockheed Martin years of F-35 development, and the “unsinkable aircraft carrier” that spares America ships and divisions. He also explains why Iran’s war on the “Great Satan” runs through Israel and reaches all the way to America’s southern border. Recorded after the June 2025 Iran war, it’s a clear case that standing with Israel is both a biblical duty and plain common sense.Find Ambassador Ettinger’s research at https://theettingerreport.com.
