Is the U.S.-Israel Special Relationship Over?

U.S. public opinion is undergoing a dramatic shift, with more and more Americans calling for less military support to Israel. So, is the “special relationship” between the two countries over? According to an essayist in Foreign Policy’s latest print issue, the partnership has peaked—and the only way to go is down. Why is that, and how did we get here? Joshua Leifer, a columnist for Haaretz and author of that essay, joins FP Live to explore trends in the U.S.-Israeli partnership. Plus, Ravi shares his read on the proposed U.S.-Iran cease-fire deal. Paul Musgrave: Iran Is a Bigger Defeat Than Vietnam Will Todman: Everyone Lost the War With Iran Menahem Merhavy: Iran’s Victory Is More Pyrrhic Than It Looks Joshua Leifer: The End of the U.S.-Israel Alliance FP’s Summer Print Issue: The End of the World as We Know It David E.

On nuclear fallout and legal leverage

On March 1, 1954, the United States detonated the largest nuclear weapon it ever tested at Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands. The fallout poisoned a Japanese fishing crew, irradiated inhabited atolls, and triggered a diplomatic crisis — one the US resolved by paying $2 million and calling it closed, without ever answering the underlying legal questions. Historian and lawyer Mary X. Mitchell joins Annelise to unpack how this works: the legal technologies that make disputes disappear, what it means to "win" a lawsuit you know you'll lose, and how Marshall Islanders used law as leverage against one of the most asymmetrical power relationships in modern history. Mary's new book Unsettling Sovereignty is published by the University of Chicago Press. Her new article appears in Environmental History. Key timestamps: 00:00 — Castle Bravo: what happened on March 1, 1954 01:07 — The bomb and the fallout: what actually came down on Rongelap 03:56 — Evacuation and the Marshall Islands petition to the UN 06:59 — Why the Marshall Islands? The strategic trusteeship and Pacific colonialism ~10:00 — The Lucky Dragon: Japan's fishing fleet and the diplomatic crisis ~14:00 — The ex gratia settlement: $150K offer, $6.7M demand, $2M resolution ~17:00 — What the settlement left submerged: the unanswered legal questions ~19:00 — How to use this: the dishes insight, and reading the real stakes ~22:35 — Losing in court and still winning: Marshall Islander lawsuits as leverage ~30:00 — Rights as a form of articulation: Patricia Williams and why courts still matter 34:38 — Closing: breaking it down as a methodology This is a public episode.
