We have been gaslit for years about Israel's influence on US politics.
A congressional inquiry reveals quite the contrary: The US has its hands so far up Israel's behind its fingers are poking out of Israel's throat.
A thread on American interference in Israeli politics.
Federal funds were funneled to organizations run by former Israeli spooks, left-wing politicians, and international bureaucrats.
US taxpayer funds were used to directly bolster opposition to a sitting Israeli Prime Minister.
/1
The funds were laundered through US & Israeli philanthropies, but originated in the SD & DoD, as well as USAID.
While there is no clear proof, this matches CIA color revolutions in Serbia, Ukraine and others.
/2
Americans funded training in Israeli high-schools, encouraging youth to protest the government.
/3
Between '21 - '24, ~900 million dollars [that we know of!] flowed into Israel through government funded orgs in attempt to influence constitutional structures in the Jewish State.
/4
The US's deepstate involvement in Israeli politics is so complex and extensive it consists of dozens of bodies, orgs, shell funds, gov. departments, and high profile politicians and spooks.
/5
Additionally, the US has granted hundreds of millions to orgs with ties to terror organizations which operate in and around Israel.
/6
All of this should not come as a surprise, as the US has attempted to control Israeli politics before.
Take for example, the Obama admin. & CIA's attempt to displace an Israeli Prime Minister in 2015 with the V15 campaign, which was funded through the State dep.

One could question whether any of this is a responsible use of tax-payer funds.
More importantly, it's suicidal for a country to be so involved in the politics of an ally. Not because Israel could hurt the US--Israelis love America, & the country is too small to be a threat.
But while the US has vast financial resources, the attention its intelligence agencies, State, & Defense deps. invest in the minutia of Israeli politics is a distraction from their actual jobs: Defending American interests.

USian obsession with Israel reached down to the play-by-play of Israel's campaign in Gaza.
There is no universe in which the US president has the time to oversee the daily operations of a conflict involving less than 13 million people.
/9
The next time someone tells you Israel has an outsized influence on the US government, ask them:
If Israel was really that powerful, don't you think they would keep the CIA and State dep. from running amuck in their country?

Incidentally, Jeffery Epstein's contacts in Israel were all mouth-pieces for US policy propaganda.
Speculatively, Epstein may have forwarded the CIA agenda in Israel by activating his network which was vocally supportive of the all the above demonstrated USAID activities.
In reality, the truth is altogether different. AIPAC & US military "aid" are tools of American domination which are primarily used to strangle Israeli foreign policy & defense industries, gripping the Jewish State where it hurts.

See my extensive thread on this here:
Just refuse to be gaslit. Israel, the US's most loyal ally, situated half way around the world, is not pulling the strings behind the scenes in D.C.
If anything, D.C.'s obsession with the Jewish State is unhealthy because America exerts far too much influence in Israel.
