The Alliance Between Washington, Tel Aviv, and Silicon Valley

Ali Azzali

(English version by Ihsan Mathe)

In his farewell address, delivered from the Oval Office on 17 January 1961, US President Dwight Eisenhower warned the nation of the dangers posed by an informal alliance between the armed forces, related government departments, and companies in the military–technology sector. He said, “This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience. The total influence -- economic, political, even spiritual -- is felt in every city, every State house, every office of the Federal government. We recognize the imperative need for this development. Yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. Our toil, resources and livelihood are all involved; so is the very structure of our society.

proceed by pointing out markers.
