AIPAC obviously does not control Washington, Washington permits AIPAC to help keeps its minions (congresspeople, etc.) in line. It makes no sense to assert that Israel was able to do a hostile takeover of one of the ~3 countries that founded it (and also the other surviving founder, the UK, and several other countries) by spending money that their founders gave them.
No one is defending genocide and it’s a really gross thing to say that they are, one that comes off as extremely dishonest and manipulative, though I can’t rule out that you just aren’t following what is being said to you. Everyone here agrees that Israel is committing genocide and in fact that it should be destroyed. The disagreement is specifically that Israel dominates the US, because it is a rabid attack dog the US uses to attack and destabilize its opponents in the Middle East. “Israel isn’t controlling the US” isn’t meant to defend Israel’s character; if it could simply dictate what the US does, it absolutely would, but it does not have that power and this attempt to basically externalize the misdeeds of the US to the agency of Israel is a trap for one’s political analysis.
Also, respond to my other comment where I go over these things in more detail.
He’s talking past people a little (he’s already spoken past me some) but I’m still interested in seeing what he says, even if it’s just a justification that believing that global capital exists is such a conspiracy theory that it’s not worth engaging with (which is basically what he said before, admittedly). At worst, it could be funny.
