Israel is the attack dog of the empire, not the other way around. "Israelis" have not infiltrated US government or own US media. That's like saying the military has infiltrated the Pentagon.

Breadtube if it didn't suck.
Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.
Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.
There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It's open submission unless there's something important to commandeer it with at the time.
A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it's currently in.

this is a super important distinction that i see leftists (especially on twitter) fail to see all the fucking time its embarassing. This video posted is representing the vibes of an american who doesnt understand that its THEMSELVES that are doing all this, and is wrong over and over. Im surprised this shit even got posted here
The video has anti-semitic dog whistle vibes saying "Israelis own the media". The video doesn't feel very leftist to me.
I don't like dogwhistles either, but it doesn't change the fact that Israel and Mosad have extensive lobbying and media groups. It's vulgar that Israel is able to hide behind those dogwhistles, to some degree.

I agree, this is not a disciplined marxist, but the relationship is circular, because there are different levels of state politics. Israel is the US's rabid attack dog, at the level of the CIA and State Department. But at lower levels of politics, it is not true, and Israel uses extensive lobbying to get other things that it wants. Mosad spies on the US and has stolen nuclear weapon research (PROMIS), lied about it's operations to the US, etc.
Israel is also ethno-supremacist toward all non-Jewish Israelis, even the US. If you watch Israeli media, they constantly spit on the US and say 'fuck America' and 'we are not the west'. They culturally and dogmatically see themselves as superior to the US.

funny how ignoring people's simple material needs makes it hard to have them fall in line for you.
end israel!
Norman Finkelstein talks about this and you wouldn't claim he is antisemitic. There is an element of Jewish "supremacy" that fuels Zionism is the argument he makes. So it would be wrong to dismiss the wealthy and powerful jews who push the agenda and they're definitely consciously playing into this anti-Zionism = antisemitism narrative. It benefits them at the expense of everyone else. These people are the last ones to ever suffer any real consequences of the eventual antisemitism wave in the west too.
That said this does not remove any of the imperialist reasons for America's support of Israel either, its a natural alliance. The only people(close to positions of power) at this point who "oppose" Israel are the ones who envision a "clean" empire i.e do all the killing and conquering but behind close doors so they don't have to feel guilty for it.
We saw the unified response behind "Israel has the right to defend itself", that alone is an assumption of innocence, every single liberal supported this message because it is the ultimate proof they're the good guys they're only defending "civilization" from barbarianism, literaly Ukraine talking points again.
The only difference is Ukraine's war crimes can be dismissed as the Ukrainian 2014-2022 stuff is very hard to find for normal people while Palestine is basicaly livestreaming genocide.
