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. ✌️

just because the attack dog sometimes does stuff we don't like doesn't mean we don't hold the leash. america allows israel to exist because despite some minor transgressions it still materially benefits them to do so. individual politicians can believe all sorts of dumb shit but it doesn't change the fundamental power dynamic behind them

But what is the point? They already captured the gulf monarchies. They have military bases in every single one of these countries except for "israel".

If anything the maintenance of the zionist entity is causing more harm than good to the interests of the imperialists. Mass protests at the "israeli" embassy in Jordan. Jordan's president is already an imperialist dog who received an education in England and sends his kids to Georgetown University in America, with Jordanian police teargassing and shooting at their own civilians. Pakistan, a US ally, killed 4 people as protestors mobilized against the genocide. "israel" bombed Qatar, a country that actively hosts a US military base. They've been annexing Syrian land and bombing Damascus, even after the US puppet Jolani was installed.

None of these are "minor transgressions"

i agree that the bombing of qatar seemed to be a bridge too far for america. that's why they yanked the leash so fast. at the same time, they did yank the leash. if isfake has become a net liability, it would be a relatively recent development. still, i'm thinking the iran strikes more than justified their utility to the imperial bourgeoisie
