At this point, I can confidently say that Israel controls America.

Claiming that Israel controls America is kinda anti semitic (not because it's anti Israeli or anything ofc) because it's basically a repackaging of the whole "Jews control the government" thing.

What's actually happening is that Israel is a US puppet state thats been given free reign and a blank check to do as much fascism as it wants as long as it keeps protecting the US's interests in the middle east. The US is still in control, it's just choosing that rather than exerting that control to do anything to stop Israel it's going to give it the go ahead to do whatever the fuck it wants instead.

Other way around, they're basically a US satellite state if anything. Biden said it himself, "if there wasn't an Israel we would have to invent one."

Here's a graph showing the countries that voted most closely in line with the US in the UN across the past couple decades:

The three dots behind Israel are former US Pacific Island territories that are currently US puppet states and officially give away much of their sovereignty to America under COFA. If you exclude those three, Israel aligns itself with America miles ahead of any other country.

Not quite true. Israel gets a lot of support from the US government because it's a useful ally.

It's the vanguard in the coveted Middle Eastern region (lots of oil) that is incidentally hated by everyone around them so you can easily use their status to provoke proxy wars, then invade and claim plausible deniability by saying you just helped out your ally.

Plus the delicious state surveillance tools

Nah fam. Miss me with that nonsense. Why would a tiny nation control the US? They have influence with American interests in many ways, but control it? It makes no sense. The only position that this would make sense from is the same antisemetic cabal bullshit. A small group controls the world alright. The wealthy, most of whom are white Christians. They control things, not Jews.
