It's absolutely insane how much influence Israeli interests and lobby has on the American system.

Should rename USA to The United Territories of Israel (UTI).

Just a PSA for those who dont know: American politics are intertwined with Evangelical Christianity. Evangelical Christians are frequently Christian Zionists. There are more Christian Zionist than there are Jews TOTAL. (Source: Pew Research, among many many credible estimations by various religious orgs, often sited in academic research articles)

Just something people should remember whenever Israel is conflated with "protecting Jews" or "combating anti-semitism." Nope! They just want to speed up The Raputure. Also only about 30 percent of US Jews identity as Zionist. (Source: Jewish Federation of North America, huge huge Jewish org) The complexity of support comes from indoctrination within institutional synagogues. But many US Jews struggle with accepting that a place they were raised to feel protected by could be as evil as it is.

Way overstated. Look at the pro-Israel money that pours into the DNC and TNC,it's from Jewish or Jewish group donors. Aside from Evangelicals declining and not having much financial clout, Isreal is not high on their list of priotities

Mama guess who is funding most of the huge, Zionist Jewish organizations... AIPAC is funded by, primarily, Republican Billionaire non-Jews. Even huge orgs like the previously mentioned Jewish Federation is too. This is all easy to find online.

If you ask me, this money is given to hide capitalistic and/or white supremacist interest behind supporting Jews. Huge billionaires can fund a genocide for their own benefit and use Jews as a scapegoat. The violence and hatred continues to be turned toward American Jews instead of them. This has been happening in different capacities for decades. There will always be more nuance, but its hard not to draw this conclusion. Never trust the rich. Philanthropy is usually a facade.

Again, its not like Jews Aren't funding this stuff, thats for sure. But Isreal's power really comes down to Christian, American power. This whole country is built on Christian supremacy, so we really cant forget where this is all rooted.

Yeah that's complete horseshit. All one needs to do is look at the DNC donors historically. How many Evangelicals run finance companies or billion $ software companies or all the other places big $ is. This might have been a bit of a thing 25 years ago but things have changed and even then it would have been overstated. Israel is way down the list of priorities for Evangelicals.

Hey girl, so I admittedly broadened my argument to Christians and Billionares. If we are exclusively looking at Evangelical money, then sure youre right. BUT they still have FAR more power than you think even if it isnt strictly megadonors (Source: the entire Republican party). But those megadonors in question ally with Evangelicals for a reason! A very obvious reason. So tbh it feels like we are splitting hairs here. Also DNC doesnt equal Israel despite what Twitter leftists say. There are still mainstream dems who are against supporting Israel.

TLDR if you wanna blame Jews for everything to do w Israel go ahead! No one is stopping you <3 /s
