    What do people mean by saying the US does whatever Israel wants? Sending them weapons to kill brown kids in Palestine, Lebanon, etc?

    That Israel has invested in American politicians and American public opinion for decades. It doesn’t absolve the US of its moral failing, but it provides an explanation.

      And the US has done the same to other countries. And there are countless billionaires and corporations that influence US politics just as Israel does.

      Maybe we should focus more on the general problem of class conflict rather than looking at it in terms of nations. If you got all the Israeli money out of US politics but did nothing about the other corporate money and corruption, it’s hard to imagine much would change.
