Would be really helpful if explained in Marxist terms, especially whether first world capital/superprofits are diverted to Israel in amounts not earned by providing services to power, or having Israel around is unprofitable/counterproductive to US aims/interests. Do other countries experience the same?

I think Israel is better understood as an extension of the US. Israel's policy is US policy, they are one.

I think it's easier to not think of nations because what we're trying to identify might be better understood as "neoconservatives", it's a faction of the ruling class that was aligned with the late Sheldon Adelson but his widow continues the legacy seemingly as well as Bibi, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, the Project for a New American Century (PNAC) gang.

We have clear as day examples where Israel decides US troop movement in support of redirecting stolen oil to them during the Iraq War - as happened with CENTCOM's Energy Infrastructure Planning Group deferring to IDF/Mossad agent Michael Makovsky as often as they did, which Gary Vogler has written much about. It's a little bit murkier but Kurds get roped into similar shit too, all the time.

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