Ah yes, Israel puppeteering politicians and bathing in money. I am sure these antisemitic dog-whistles are just used as """Anti-Zionism""" again.

Don't forget that, at least for the us, we give them billions of dollars with the requirement that they buy American made weapons. This results in the politicians ability to hide behind job creation and business profitability. While funneling tax payer money to the military industrial complex resulting in more wars or special operations. Instead of schools, healthcare, housing, renewable energies, exploration

Just for some numbers to go with that statement https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/RL33222

Edit: adding a bit more

They are cheap. They sell out their integrity and honor for pennies.

[–] remedia@piefed.social 2 points 8 hours ago

As if they had integrity and honor to begin with.

I hate how accurate this is.

I would suspect that, throughout history, there have been many governments that excelled at blackmail. Even its detractors have to admit that it can be highly effective.

Is it possible to break this cycle?

Stop electing Israel politicians.

They are trying to hide their ~~donations~~ bribes by hiding them under names like "united democracy" , "Americans for good government".

But yes we can stop their control by keeping their picks out of office.

There is a seriously long list of their hidden pacs. But someone's keeping track.

I got that link from here https://www.trackaipac.com/aipac

Also I suspect they will soon be getting better at hiding their bribes. So we will have to be very diligent in rooting them out.

They are quickly realizing that aipac is a poison pill for Dems. And Dems will be winning as people grow increasingly angry with trump and Republicans.

Yes you just have to convince a small group of people to stop being greedy.

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 5 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

there's a tool for that, a guillotine

The guillotining won't stop until moral improves

The russian version of it is called 'kompromat'.

Israeli interest are US interest.

Please. Let's stop doing "country analysis". We are not living in feudal times.

You are not "America" you are an "American". The interest of America's capitalist class are aligned and the same as the Israeli colonial project. Your personal interest are not a part of "America's" interest AT ALL. Stop trying to disassociate or scapegoat those crimes to America's proxy state.

This class based understanding is becoming significantly more important as "the right" shifts to becoming anti Israel. They are not doing this to "purge" the Imperialist interest from America. They are doing this to defend them. To distract you. To make you think American leaders were "tricked". They are doing this as an inevitable result of public opinion that the contradictions of their narrative need to shift with. They will shift to "blaming the Jews" for the failures in US foreign policy and it's war mongering.

They won't say this so bluntly. They will attach to populous anti Zionist messages in order to control the narrative. "It's Israels fault alone".

Please, please don't be fooled by this.

If you want a class based and economic analysis of what is going on I can't recommend the channel below enough. He literally posted a video related to this today.

We on the left have been critical of Israel for years. But if your criticism was not based in understanding the material interest of American empire you will fall pray to the simple right wing narrative that makes you feel like "America" is not the problem. That capitalism is not the problem. When the reality is; that they are.

You are "an American"; you live here. Stop trying to justify what "America" does as a defense of your identity. That "America" can be good if we just purge these lobbying groups. No, "America" is those lobbying groups. "America" is the interest of capital. You have no more of a control of "America's" foreign interventions than you do Israels. And they are one in the same.

Yes. Israel has massive influence over American politics if you are blinded by looking at the interest based on a separation of countries. There is no separation. These are all the interest of the capitalist (Epstein) class.
