The neoconservatives control the US via Israel, which can go so far as to dictate troops movements to its exclusive benefit?

Many Israeli military actions in the region have been motivated partly by the manipulation of the price of oil (which had to be bought with dollars

Interesting.

elements of the ruling class both in that country and which straddle it and others interfere in US elections in favor of those who facilitate that status quo.

But what does this mean? Do the Israeli bourgeoisie, via the Israeli state, exert enough control over the US state to divert superprofits/capital to Israel that it hasn’t earned in terms of services to power.

Everyone has to join the military in Israel and take turns guarding the world’s biggest concentration camp, possibly becoming 🔻 in the process. The American troops in Israel also get healthcare, even if it probably sucks, but they don’t have to go actively carry out the genocide.

Edit: I think part of the belief stems from an idea that Israel receives capital that is undeserved/could be better put to work elsewhere—ie impoverished US communities. But Louisiana isn’t a linchpin of empire, it’s a sacrifice zone, and I imagine that if the capital didn’t go to Israel it would be used for another form of imperialism, not free healthcare in LA.

But at what cost?
