Netanyahu is basically an American. Let's not kid ourselves. He lived in America for a bit, he went to college here, he knows what makes Americans click. That's why his diplomacy with Congress is so effective.
He knows our politics just as good as our representatives do.

While their domestic affairs are completely segregated, Israel is an extension of the United States for all practical military and diplomatic purposes.

Israel is the new Philippines.
Israel is to America what Vichy France was to the Third Reich.

in reply to Jackie 🍉🏳️⚧️☭ • • •This is the motivation behind my use of the term "US-Israel", and this is one of the reasons I dislike people who imply that the United States is a slave to Israel or whatever.
People who talk about how Israel controls America are bad for 3 reasons:
A) it's not true
B) it has at least a passing resemblance to neo-Nazi David Duke's "ZOG" conspiracy theory that makes me uncomfortable
C) it's a way of laundering the reputation of the United States by portraying the colonialist policies of the state of Israel as an aberration that the "real America" wouldn't support, when this contradicts everything in US history ever.

Jabotinsky and other founding Zionists have deliberately worked to maintain this strategy for more than a century. First it was Britain, but Britain's imperial power collapsed. Then, Israel moved to change its alignment towards the United States.
The strategy detailed in the Iron Wall has succeeded beyond Ze'ev's wildest dreams.

In Biden's own infamous words: "if there were not an Israel, we would have to create one".
