Israeli and Zionist influence in the USA is a purposeful choice of the American government. It allows the American government to circumvent many domestic and international laws by allowing Israeli firms to do the spying and dirty work for them. Israel is essentially a rogue state that is entirely controlled by the American intelligence apparatus (and therefore, American capital). This has created a feedback loop of constantly reinforcing settler colonialism and American economic extraction of the Middle East. If America withdrew support to Israel, this feedback loop would cease and Israel would be greatly diminished or completely collapse.

Saying Israel controls America is simply wrong, stop saying this. I will remove your post. ✌️

this Saying that America just controls "Israel" is almost us much cope as the other way around. It's not antisemitism to say that the "Israel" lobby has more influence and less limitations than other "puppet" states.

America could threaten to withdraw support and "Israel" would fold instantly, but American politicians almost never do this, even when "Israel" acts against their interests. "Israelis" do actually have some influence on America and "Israel" has a degree of autonomy not offered to puppet states. That doesn't make America less guilty, it's still the case that they could stop "Israel" at any time. The fact is that they generally don't, even when it would be in their interests.

Especially when Israel has nukes. If nukes give North Korea autonomy from US control, they definitely give Israel autonomy from the US as well.
