      That’s just offloading the blame the US empire has always been carrying.

      Yeah dude, the colony where imperial powers dumped a hated ethnic minority to be in a state of eternal war with the local population to break the local population’s strength is totally the one controlling the imperial power that has all the billionaires and lavish palaces.

      Can you please not with the antisemitism?

          Israel is not Judaism, but Israel being the puppetmasters behind empire requires reading every rich person that knows a Jew as an Israeli agent and is taken straight from the long history antisemitic conspiracy theories.

            Or people simply understand that our government is controlled by lobbyists, and one of the most powerful is the Israel lobby.

            No antisemitism or conspiracy theory is required.

              one of the most powerful

              Okay, now explain how that turns into driving US policy to such an extent that other nations should see Israel as the real threat?

                If you’re a country in West Asia, Israel and US are pretty indistinguishable. Whatever Israel does, the US will support unconditionally

                  So, which is the real threat, the part of the country that wouldn’t exist without the other par of of the country’s support, or the part of the country that has over 40% of the world’s military budget?

              Pray tell, are there any numbers other than 3? Maybe even ones that come before it?

              Israeli lobbyists exists. The Mossad exists. Israeli propaganda exists. The problem is turning that into Israel controlling the US as if Israel isn’t being outspent by the American aviation industry alone.
