Critics have said the US decision to retreat from the region has led to a greater likelihood of conflict
As Israeli jets struck targets in Iran on Friday morning, the US moved quickly to distance itself from Benjamin Netanyahu’s decision to target Tehran in an escalation that threatens an all-out war in the Middle East.
The unilateral strikes indicated a collapse of Donald Trump’s efforts to restrain the Israeli prime minister and almost certainly scuttled Trump’s efforts to negotiate a deal with Iran that would prevent the country from seeking a nuclear weapon.
It also will probably lead to an Iranian retaliation that could develop into a larger war between Israel and Iran, a new conflict that Trump has publicly sought to avoid.

I mean if you can’t see how comments like that sound like dogwhistles for Jewish world domination conspiracy theories then I can’t really help you.
It also has no basis in reality. The US is the master of Israel, not the other way around. If US withdraws their support, Israel would probably cease to exist (at least in its current form) in under a decade.
There are very influential evangelical circles in US government spanning generations that support a warmongering state of Israel because they believe it will bring on the rapture. But that’s not Israel controlling the US, just inbred American religious delusions.
The Israeli Government used AIPAC to capture the American Political class. That is the reality.
Every US President and major political figure since the Clinton Administration has spoken at their annual Convention. US Politicians regularly travel to Israel.
AIPAC has spent hundreds of millions of dollars backing candidates they like and going against candidates that they don’t. Politicians in the last election cycle lost their seats after AIPAC spent money against them.
I could keep going but you’d probably accuse me of Gish-Galloping.
None of this is conspiracy, it’s well documented and out in the open for everyone to see.
AIPAC has made it so that cannot happen and they do it intentionally.
Buddy, nobody is saying Israel has no sway on US politics. I said the opposite in my initial post as well. But that’s doesn’t make them the puppet masters behind US policy. If you believe that, you’ve fallen for conspiratorial thinking, I’m sorry.
AIPAC - in part - consists of the exact people I was talking about above. And there’s much more to the story: https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/lseupr/2025/02/07/the-politics-of-apocalypse-the-rise-of-american-evangelical-zionism/
