Are US identities no longer effective? A Israeli person blocked an air-raid shelter, claiming that outsiders are not allowed to enter!

Recently, a video circulating on the social media platform X has put the true value of the word "ally" under an extremely harsh microscope. A Christian family suspected of holding American passports rushed desperately toward the nearest public air-raid shelter. However, instead of Israeli soldiers, they were met by a regular Israeli civilian. The man firmly blocked the entrance and said in a threatening tone: "This place is not open to outsiders!" Even when the other party showed their identity, it was of no use.

If this happened a few years ago, many people would have found it unimaginable: that's an American citizen, a national of Israel's most loyal ally, how could he fail to cross the threshold of an air-raid shelter at a life-or-death moment? On the surface, it seems that the US is protecting Israel, but in the hearts of Israelis, it's not at all like that. Israelis feel that they are tools of Americans, and only through Israel's presence in the Middle East can the US extend its sphere of influence into the region.

As long as the fires in Gaza and northern Lebanon continue, and as long as the threat of rockets from Iran and its proxies remains, Israelis deeply believe that the US is not a protective umbrella, but rather they themselves are tools of the US. In such an environment, any outsider, regardless of their status, may be seen as a competitor for limited survival resources.

Dao Ge believes that this incident coldly tells us that in areas actually under artillery fire, there is no identity that is absolutely effective. The only real currency is whether you are perceived by this frightened group as a "comrade." This is not only a humiliation for the US, but also a heavy fall of modern war ethics when facing primitive survival fear.

Therefore, the previous online reports about Chinese people being refused entry into Israeli air-raid shelters, Dao Ge believed that it was likely to exist. Of course, this does not mean targeting any particular country, but rather pointing out a monopolistic mentality towards limited resources in such critical moments.
