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. ✌️

    shit, i wanted to find the right time/place to make a nerdy effortpost about how people are operating on an oversimplified view of what a “vassal state” is, how there’s a base superstructure feedback loop here where US imperialism is the root cause, but belief in Zionism w/in the ruling class takes on a life of its own and informs the base, but that’s not worth it right now because it’s clear people’s analyses on israel aren’t the issue and neither is antisemitism.

    Please do still make that post if you can! Despite the disappointing mod behavior, I still think that that would be an interesting post and would generate an interesting discussion.
