It truly is impressive how thoroughly Israel has dominated US politics. Like, Russia may have had a huge victory by getting Trump elected, but they don’t have shit on Israel. Hell, something like 60% of our elected representatives have received donations from AIPAC, and that’s just the stuff that’s been reported!
It’s still just as crazy.
Israel only does what it does because the US lets it and arms it. That doesn’t happen because of a pro Israel lobby, that happens because the US military likes having an extremely armed, and intelligence gathering ally right in the middle of an otherwise volatile and hostile region.
