There’s a debate that goes like: America supports the Zionist cause because of strategic interest in the middle east, to test weaponry, to park aircraft, etc. The other side says America supports Zionism because of powerful lobbying from organizations like AIPAC and the ADL. Then I guess there’s a third explanation involving American evangelicals and their religious doctrines, along with their own lobbying and campaigning.

For me personally it seems like it’s all of those things at the same time, with perhaps strategic interest being the most pressing. I say that because of the multiple instances of the CIA discovering things like Israeli spying equipment in Washington DC, and yet nothing is done. There are literal Israeli intelligence assets working as aides to senators and nothing is done. I only ever see feds do that when they’ve been instructed something is off-limits.

I also know this wasn’t always the case, because people like Johnathan Pollard got thrown in jail. And I know the Bush Sr admin was less amicable. So what’s yall’s stance here

    If anyone discounts zionist influence in the media and in politics they are not acting in good faith, IMO.

    The media deliberated for MONTHS on whether “israel” bombed Al-Shifa hospital. Even when it was a known fact, they still provided lies and covered for the entity.

    Why is it that when the Minab school was bombed, the same media conglomerates who covered for “israel” blamed the US almost immediately?

    Why does the BBC have an “israeli” handler that confirms or rejects every headline regarding the zionist entity? Why do zionists have their fingers all over hollywood, mainstream news, and in politics?

    Jewish zionists in the west are treated as the upper caste of society. Norm Finklestein says it himself in this video about the privileges that (mainly) white jewish people have in the west.
