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. ✌️

The era of colonization has ended though. The imperialists could have just as easily influenced a Palestinian state, like they have done with the gulf states and Ukraine, Taiwan, and the Phillipines to bow to the empire. Notice how the imperialists didn't import an entire ethnic group into those countries, they just imported their ideologies.

They already did it with the Palestinian Authority, any country that shows the slightest pushback against the imperialists gets blown to pieces or overthrown. See Libya, Egypt, Iraq, Lebanon, Syria.

Why prop up a colonial entity when we've moved past that stage of imperialism? The masses became "woke" to colonialism post-WWII and most imperialist countries instead have a way to make their evils less transparent in their ways of controlling another country's resources. Color revolutions, "soft-power" via predatory IMF loans with clauses demanding for privatization of infrastructure are ways to name a few.

Why go through all this effort manufacturing fake historical justifications for why this type of colonization is good, when they already have the gulf states and the Palestinian Authority as loyal servants to the empire?

Edit: even the Xinhua Institute says pre-WW2 colonization is dead. Enough with the vibes-based analysis.

This is literally the ACP reactionary line.

How? Do you think any country will be able to invade another country and settle their own citizens after enslaving or genociding the original inhabitants? Correct me if I'm wrong but it doesn't happen anymore. It's much easier to have plausible deniability on the world stage if your colony is not a direct extension of your own citizens.

Apparently the Xinhua Institute's Colonization of the Mind was actually the ACP's tricknology infecting China.

In the wake of WWII, national liberation movements swept across the globe, numerous independent nation-states sprang up like bamboo shoots after the rain, the global colonial system established by European powers crumbled, and the world entered the post-colonial era. As the new global hegemon, the United States discovered that, faced with numerous "awakened" nationalist nation-states, relying solely on "hard power" in the forms of political domination, economic control, military deterrence, among others, could not establish or sustain a lasting and extensive colonial rule; instead, employing "soft power" such as culture and values would enable it to reap higher colonial rewards at lower costs.
