Title of Paper (The American Flag) 

 

Introductory Paragraph: (1) The United States and Israel have maintained a strong intelligence relationship going back to the 1950’s, starting in 1956 with a secret speech of Nikita Khrushchev obtained by the Mossad and then found its way to the New York Times. This helped the Western populous become aware of the crimes happening in the Soviet Union and delegitimize the Soviets.  Thesis Statement: The intelligence provided by Israel from the Cold War through the war on terrorism has been vital to the defense of our nation; this paper will talk about how intelligence from Israel has helped the United States during the Cold War, the war on terrorism and increased our overall capabilities to combat enemy military equipment.

Body (Problem (Defined))/ Discussion to relate the point of view from sources used/the writer takes a position) The United States depends on Israel for much of its Middle Eastern intelligence since they are engaged with forces and equipment in that region.

The Cold War (This is a level 1 header) 

Supporting Idea 1: What about the Iran nuclear reactor?

Supporting Idea 2:  What is the Soviet nuclear threat?  

Supporting Idea 3: What about Soviet military doctrine?

Transition Sentence:  I will expand on Israeli intelligence during the war on terrorism. 

The War on Terrorism (This is a level 1 header) 

Supporting Idea 1: What is happening with Iranian enrichment? 

Supporting Idea 2: What happens when you infiltrate ISIS?

Supporting Idea 3: What happened to Soleimani?

Transition Sentence:  I will now talk about how Israel has helped learn about Soviet weapons capabilities and how the United States has benefited from that intelligence.

Increased Overall Capabilities (This is a level 1 header) 

Supporting Idea 1: What are the capabilities of Soviet aircraft? 

Supporting Idea 2: What are the capabilities of Soviet anti-air missiles and radars?

Supporting Idea 3: What are the capabilities of Soviet combat vehicles?

Conclusion (This is a level 1 header) 

 Reiteration of Thesis required solution/s/ question The United States has benefited from Israeli intelligence from the 1950’s to modern day that has helped increase the United States overall capabilities and doctrine of Russia. The increased lethality and defense of our own equipment we have made are in direct correlation with the knowledge we have gained from captured equipment and engagements by the Israelis. The question would have to be, would the United States be where we are now in regards to equipment to counteract the Russian equipment without shared intelligence from Israel? The answer to that would probably be an astounding no. We would have the equipment, but probably not survivable enough for Russian aircraft, missiles and radar, and combat vehicles.

Israel and its Strategic Importance

Religious Policies

Israel and it’s strategic importance to the United States has a lot to do with their religious policies. We both share the commitment to democracy and Israel has shown this commitment by changing their government’s blue print. The Basic Law lays a foundation of freedom for Israeli citizens and for Jews worldwide. Since America and Israel share the world’s largest Jewish population, having that common ground helps with diplomatic relations between America and Israel. Many Jews and Christians see Israel as a religious homeland that fosters good will between our two countries. 

Basic Law

Supporting Idea 1: Religious freedom section 1

Supporting Idea 2: More separation of church and state

Supporting idea 3: Can elect their own officials

Worlds Jewish Population

Supporting idea 1: America and Israel share the worlds largest population

Supporting idea 2: Israel is seen as a homeland for Jews

Supporting idea 3: Religious and emotional attachment to Israel

Israel as a religious homeland

            Supporting idea 1: Laws that retain Israels identity

            Supporting idea 2: Preferential treatment for Jews

            Supporting idea 3: Sacred events occurred in Israel
