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. ✌️

True. It's just important to point out that it isn't like Israel is just secretly controlling America. America is happy working with Israel and Israel is happy working with America.

This distinction is important because it feeds into the liberal idea that the system works, there's just a few bad apples in power that need to be voted out and then genocide will stop. No, the system is functioning how it's supposed to. US imperialism benefits the bourgeois. That's why it's happening.
