Israel is betting that the US will protect Israel.
So did the puppet regime in Afghanistan. And while the US has a religious attachment to Israel one has to wonder if the US's support is limitless.
I think we're 10 years away from a shift on Israel. But once the generational turnover is complete, it's gonna be a hard swing away.
It's easier to wait for fascists to die than to change their minds.
There is some religious attachment, but the predominate influence is the flawed US liberal democratic system that allows dual Israeli and American citizenship. There are countries that allow only one citizenship, probably for that reason. The lobbies pay for political campaigns, and Quid Pro Quos. Israel owns Congress and uses the US to gather intelligence, funds, contraband, and for protection. That is why it can do whatever it wants and disobey American demands. It is a political capture of another country through legal means. Whatever restraints Israel has is due to the watchful eyes of international institutions and world opinion. The US does not restrain Israel more than it enables it. Israel is the only beneficiary in the US-Israel relationship. Israel offers nothing in return for US ties. It is complete political capture for their own interest.
Afghanistan US regime was just a source of income and employment for the majority of Afghans working for it. When it came to actually show conviction for democratic values, the phony government bowed over.
Most Israelis are anti-Palestinian. Whatever anti-war, or political protests you see on TV is not because they sympathize with Palestinians, but, because the security situation means they have rockets falling on their houses, and they are forced to evacuate. Israel is an ethno-nationalist state created with ethnic cleansing in its foundation. Israeli's are able to capture the US political system because Jews have been proportionally part of the elites. These are educated people with wealth and as a result of equitable democratic system, they are able to have great influence.
Allowing US citizens to hold additional citizenship from other countries has nothing to do with Zionist policies.
We're talking about dual citizenship between USA and zionist occupying regime... So yes it's closely related to zionist policies. In particular it legitimizes invasion, theft, genocide, occupation, etc.
In particular it legitimizes invasion, theft, genocide, occupation, etc.
You're not making any sense. Having US citizenship by itself already legitimizes all that and prohibiting people from holding multiple citizenship is just nationalist nonsense.
