This is what Scott Ritter said at end of his article;

Israel at present can have no friends, because Israel does not know how to
be a friend. Driven by xenophobic paranoia and historical grievances, Israel
is embarked on a path that can only lead to death and destruction. This is a
path the United States should not tread. I have always taken the position
that Israel is a friend of the United States, and that friends should always
stand up for one another, even in difficult times. I have also noted that,
to quote a phrase well known in America, friends don't let friends drive
drunk, and that for some time now Israel has been drunk on arrogance and
power. As a friend, I have believed the best course of action for the United
States to take would be that which helped remove the keys from the ignition
of the policy vehicle Israel is steering toward the edge of the abyss. Now
it seems our old friend is holding a pistol to our head, demanding that we
stop interfering with the vehicle's operation and preventing us from getting
out of the car. This is not the action of a friend, and it can no longer be
tolerated.

He then calls for a reevaluation of the US policy of aid to Israel and asks
that it should be "linked to Israeli behavior modification" stating that,
"like a child too long spoiled by an inattentive parent, Israel has grown
accustomed to American largess
