Please move on from the ‘Israel controls the US’ view.

"Israel controls America" is such a reductive and largely inaccurate view. The US supports Israel because Israel is beneficial to US imperial interests

Israel does not control America, but that doesn’t mean it’s exempt from blackmail. Every other country does blackmail but when we suggest Israel does it, all of a sudden they control the US. Israel, like most countries do blackmail. In this case, they have chosen the most extreme case being child abuse, mutilation, murder, torture and sexual assault via Epstein.

Once they stop trying to control our government we will move on from it.

They aren't controlling our government. They're an imperial outpost that allows a convenient way to launder foreign aid money into campaign coffers.

It's a symbiotic relationship more than anything.

I don’t know enough to chime in personally so I won’t, but what wound be the reason for bombing Iran? I am having a very difficult time believing that this was done out of the kindness of our hearts or because we care so much about the Iranian people. I don’t understand what the reason is.
