I've spent decades fighting against believing the conspiracy theory that "Zionists" control many levers of power in the world. It's getting very difficult to keep that conspiracy theory at bay.

Starting to accept the idea that there is a global order between the major religions that acts as sort of an international deep state... And it's this group that actually does control everything, everywhere.

Saying that Israel has a lot of power in the world isn't a conspiracy theory. Your proposition that there's a global order of major religions which controls everything is a conspiracy theory. I don't know how you got from one to the other.

Zionist are a lobby group like a lot of others. The error is in thinking they have more power than let's say evangelicals or that they are doing it covertly.

FACT: It is unconstitutional for a U.S. president to declare war without the approval of the Knesset

That's factually incorrect: all the POTUS needs is the approval of the Israeli PM.

That's factually incorrect: all the POTUS needs is the ~~approval~~ command of the Israeli PM.

A meaningful look works too.

True, true...

Wouldn't it be more efficient to ask Ghislaine Maxwell directly?

I mean Netanyahu played a big role in getting him elected, so he really does owe him one or two.

The US is an Israeli vassal state. And if an American says they want their government's independence back, you're called an antisemite.

Honestly, it's impressive how well Israel's campaign to capture control of our Federal government has worked. Devious, disgusting, enraging, but impressive. And we just let them do it. Because we refuse to fight to change our pay-to-play political system.

I mean, a big part is that we actively let them do it too. The evangelical movement wanted this from Israel, so they can try and end the world. They literally do not care about anything else, and anything that moves the needle closer to what they think will trigger the end-times is great for them.

That's true, Christian Zionists did open the door wide for Israel, but that didn't happen in spite of Israel's involvement. Israel sees Christian Zionists in the US as a useful ally in pursuing their goals. Christian Zionists gave Israel the keys, but it's still Israel behind the wheel.
