America Buckles to the 'Israel Lobby'
Almost every US entity has poured unabashed support for Israel after the siege by Hamas. Still, many have yet to establish the States' link as 'the greatest ally.'
The culture of the nation quickly changes upon the corporate structures that seemingly make it stable. NGOs, influencers and even sports leagues have made the answer for all Americans to accept.
Israel is good; Palestine is evil.
The Lobby
John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt, both prestigious political scientists, made the controversial claim that, most often, foreign intervention moral imperatives are directed by pro-Israel lobby groups or what the authors refer to as the “Israel Lobby.”
No lobby has managed to divert US foreign policy as far from what the American national interest would otherwise suggest while simultaneously convincing Americans that US and Israeli interests are essentially identical.
Mearsheimer and Walt claim the Lobby has “significant leverage over the Executive branch,” and its views are “widely reflected in the mainstream media.”
The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) is widely known for its “stranglehold on the US Congress” with its “ability to reward legislators and congressional candidates who support its agenda, and to punish those who challenge it.” Even former President Barack Obama wrote about it in his memoir.
Going against the pro-Israel narrative will distinguish you as “antisemitic,” which is a means of “controlling debate,” says the two authors. Ironically, the Left uses such a tactic when issues concerning minorities arise—demonizing opposition as a “racist.”
It is almost as if the Marxists are on both sides of the aisle.
The Lobby has been very successful in its campaigns but has yet to control the debate on college campuses, although censoring and censuring have occurred. Recently, Alan Dershowitz was on Fox News calling for the pro-Palestine students’ private information to be released to the public and for them to be barred from employment after graduation.
John Hasson, a columnist at Townhall, who claims to be “very Catholic,” doxxed the 34 Harvard students. His post on X has tallied over 3 million views and rising.
The students, of course, bowed to the pressure and released a statement that Hasson proudly posted on X in a victory lap for the Zionists.
So, let’s get this straight—Townhall’s publisher, Jonathan Garthwaite, allows his columnists to dox private citizens for the “sake” of Israel but terminates and unpublishes writers bold enough to speak up against censorious Jewish nonprofits that specifically target conservatives.
Americans Are 1/33 the Worth
“… Losing 600 Israelis is the equivalent of losing about 20,000 Americans ..” posted Rep. Richie Torres (D-NY) on X. It’s easy to see he is “bought” by the hyperbolic rhetoric of reducing American citizens below those of a foreign nation. Open Secrets reports Torres’ biggest donor to be AIPAC at $141,008 between 2021-2022.
GOP presidential nominee Nikki Haley, as per her usual skit, told Fox News after the attack from Hamas, “This is not just an attack on Israel—this was an attack on America. Finish them …”
What she said is expected of “neocon Nikki”—she wants war with Iran. But what is just so strange is that no one batted an eyelash when she stated during a United States Republican presidential debate, “It’s not that Israel needs America; America needs Israel!”
Even former New York Mayor Rudy Guiliani succumbed to the Lobby, saying the attack on Israel was worse than 9/11. Almost 3,000 Americans died on 9/11—the two attacks are incomparable.
Uniparty Win, America Last
So, what has the Lobby acquired through its influence? They now have the USS Gerald R. Ford, the most advanced US aircraft carrier, according to Business Insider. The USS Normandy guide missile cruiser is to join in the fight, along with several guided missile destroyers. The States are also sending Air Force operations—20 to 25 fighters are headed to the region.
Al Jazeera reported a whopping total of $2 billion in munitions pre-supplied for Israel by the US. That will supplement the existing $3.3 billion annual aid. It’s crazy to believe a nation that has zero attachments to the outstanding majority of the population has accrued more than $260 billion in military and economic aid since World War II. That is excluding the $10 billion for the Iron Dome, according to U.S. News.
Where are all the America First politicians, influencers and activists?
“Well, Israel is our greatest ally,” they all say, while our own country is under siege by migrants. The US Customs and Border Protection counted 2.2 million migrants crossing the southwest border just this year. Even Democrats are aware of the problem as New York’s Mayor Adams and Governor Kathy Hochul have pushed for federal aid and for migrants to remain home.
To add to the mix, hundreds of thousands are dying due to the lethal narcotic fentanyl. The DEA released a memo noting that six out of 10 “fake” prescription pills now contain fentanyl. Administrator Ann Milgram said,
More than half of the fentanyl-laced fake prescription pills being trafficked in communities across the country now contain a potentially deadly dose of fentanyl.
She also said the phony pills are being mass-produced by the Sinaloa and the Jalisco Cartels in Mexico. The chemicals are sourced primarily from China, too. The CDC reported 107,477 deaths in 2022 due to fentanyl overdose, yet neither Mexico nor China has been held to account.
Tucker Carlson presented similar claims to GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy on X, to which the Daily Wire’s Ben Shapiro fiercely responded:
Congress is quick to the behest of the Israel Lobby but continuously fails its citizens. Americans better wise up to the influence of the Israel Lobby, more specifically, its dominance over our politicians and corporate media.
