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. ✌️

I big missing piece of this discussion is the historical Christian influence for Western control the Holy Land. In so many ways the Crusades never ended. It also sheds additional light on why Israel is held in special regard compared to other American and European imperial projects. I find it useful to see Israel through a Crusader State lens as it reveals parallels of the, often competing, influences that historically drove Western interest in that spot in particular.
Absolutely true. I would add the rest of Europe and “The West”, but we all know they are on board anyways. The Crusader States eroded and collapsed with the attenuating support of the West as well.
