    It’s like our whole country is secretly run by Israel or something.

    Careful buddy. This is an antisemitic trope. The real reason is much simpler. America is just a really evil imperialist entity that will back a fascist settler colonial state in the middle east for geopolitical/oil reasons rather than it being controlled by Israel.

    Israel has no ability to control America. Its population is too small and it is almost entirely dependent on US support. If America says jump Israel says how high. America is weird about Israel because it desperately wants to be and it desperately wants to be because the countries voiced ideals do not match is actual reality.

      I didn’t say it’s run by Jews I said Israel. If you haven’t noticed Israel is a country that is separate from ours and has been acting horribly. I am allowed to call that out. Don’t start that bullshit. Not all Jewish people agree with Israel they use that as an excuse to cover their atrocities and you are only helping them.

      If Israel has no control here why does our president do everything their president asks him to? Seems like they have some form of control even if its not stated explicitly

      Except talk bad about Israel and get blackballed or fired. Talk bad about Palestine and nothing.

        Man if only Israel got punished by the US for doing that and continued to act like a rabid dog proving your point rather than getting a free pass proving my point that Israel is they way that it is because America wants it to be that way.
