Israel is not Judaism, but Israel being the puppetmasters behind empire requires reading every rich person that knows a Jew as an Israeli agent and is taken straight from the long history antisemitic conspiracy theories.

Or people simply understand that our government is controlled by lobbyists, and one of the most powerful is the Israel lobby.

No antisemitism or conspiracy theory is required.

one of the most powerful

Okay, now explain how that turns into driving US policy to such an extent that other nations should see Israel as the real threat?

[-] IronBird@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

isreal simply doesnt exist without US support, for all intents and purposes they are the same country

[-] Tiresia@slrpnk.net 3 points 3 weeks ago

So, which is the real threat, the part of the country that wouldn't exist without the other par of of the country's support, or the part of the country that has over 40% of the world's military budget?

[-] IronBird@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

both, it's really not a hard concept to grasp

Ah yes, enlightened centrism. One of the easier concepts to grasp, indeed. Great to hold on to if you want to stop thinking about something.

Pray tell, are there any numbers other than 3? Maybe even ones that come before it?

Israeli lobbyists exists. The Mossad exists. Israeli propaganda exists. The problem is turning that into Israel controlling the US as if Israel isn't being outspent by the American aviation industry alone.
