Israeli and Zionist influence in the USA is a purposeful choice of the American government. It allows the American government to circumvent many domestic and international laws by allowing Israeli firms to do the spying and dirty work for them. Israel is essentially a rogue state that is entirely controlled by the American intelligence apparatus (and therefore, American capital). This has created a feedback loop of constantly reinforcing settler colonialism and American economic extraction of the Middle East. If America withdrew support to Israel, this feedback loop would cease and Israel would be greatly diminished or completely collapse.

Saying Israel controls America is simply wrong, stop saying this. I will remove your post. ✌️

Sorry for being obtuse. Looking at the screenshots in the comment you link, I'm struggling to get a coherent argument out of it because the "American settlers" comment just sort of confuses the point about who is doing what and why, even if it's of course true that lots of AIPAC people are American-Israeli settlers.

It seems to just be that the "Israeli" lobby exerts a lot of influence in American politics in ways that other foreign lobbies are not allowed to, and my interpretation of the "American settlers" comment was that it was highlighting a special aspect of the relationship there - those other countries are not colonized by American settlers. Like I said before, I might be reading it wrong.
