They stole the money to blackmail, buy voters and politicians.

Don't bring the "Jews control the world" antisemitic BS around here. Yeah, something's up with the US government that I don't totally understand, but you don't have to latch onto crazy and hateful ideologies. That just makes more problems.

So AIPAC isn't a thing to you ? or Rich American Zionist donors like the current US ambassador to japan Rahm Emanuel who was funneling money to the Israeli Propagandists Cochav Elkayam Levy who is behind the Hamas ‘Mass Rape’ Narrative Exposed As Fraud. their is no Hate in admitting that Many Zionists occupy key positions of power in many countries and parliaments like US, UK and Canada and are working to advance Israel interest.

The liberal left has become very stupid and naive by labeling everything as hate, because they are unable to face the facts, by refusing to get into merky territory, they are keeping the working class under the illusion of a fair democratic system, while in reality they have those who pull the strings keep the status quo.

There's an entire fucking UNIVERSE of difference between the /pol/ assertion "jews control the world" and the actually-on-level "Zionist fascists are the biggest financiers of the Democrat party"; and that this is really a question for you makes me question just where it is you spend your time when you're not here.

The religion as a whole isn't the problem; it's the fascist ideology that uses Judaism as a shield specifically to stoke antisemitic sentiment in the places where international Jewry calls home; specifically to drive them back to Israel to help with the settler-colonial project.

The US and Israel are both part of the same imperial project. Israel is the US's unsinkable aircraft carrier in the Middle East and its laboratory for surveillance and occupation and the US is Israel's arms depot and money spigot, it's a mutual relationship that both countries benefit from.

The US doesn't control Israel, Israel doesn't control the US, they're just partners working towards a mutual goal of settler occupation.
