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. Image
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 Image
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 Image
Americans funded training in Israeli high-schools, encouraging youth to protest the government.

/3 Image
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 Image
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 Image
Additionally, the US has granted hundreds of millions to orgs with ties to terror organizations which operate in and around Israel.

/6 Image
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.
/7 Image
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 Image
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. Image
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.

The vibe has shifted, anti-Jewish sentiment is on the decline.

I doubt things will return to pre-2023, but now that my posts are being liked both by "JewishProphet69" and "AryanWarrior1933," something has changed.

A short thread on a passing fad. Image
Anecdotally, speaking to substantial accounts, there has been a significant decrease in aggression & anti-Jewish sentiment on the TL.

Of course, there are still trolls, but the decrease is something like 80%.

Posts aren't harassed like they used to be.

The question is: Why?
1) Trump came out swinging against antisemitism.

Trump still has a large influence on what counts as cool. To be sure, there are many people criticising the admin these days, but there are still few people who can retain credibility by ignoring his lead.

More so, Trump's statements could be read as a threat: "I don't think we need them," he said in reference to antisemites.

MTG might think it's a good idea to take on the Don, but she's leaving politics. Most people in the game won't risk it.Image

How Trump lost control of the narrative—to a kid hitting his face with a hammer.

How does SLOP explain the increasing open immortality of the online right?

A thread on SLOP, tech, and political messaging.
The White House hit the ground running last year, pumping out so much activity that Dems couldn't compete.

Trump held the narrative in an iron grip until the murder of Charlie Kirk.

The tragedy should have rallied conservatives; why did the vibe shift against them?
1/40 Image
The decade before MAGA was one of rampant censorship, sexual prudishness, & thought policing. A distasteful shirt or an off-color joke could end a career.

Trump rode a wave of iconoclastic fervor, which declared “No gods, no masters!” Or, if you prefer, “thou shalt not cancel.”

The situation is southern Syria is complex, & the fog of war is thick.

In the simplest terms:
The developing agreement between Israel & Jolani will maintain the integrity of the Syrian state while simultaneously turning southern Syria into an Israeli protectorate.
Thread. Image
Last week, fighting broke out between Druze & Bedouin militias. Jolani's forces came in from Damascus to instate order, but allegedly committed atrocities against Druze civilians.

For a recap on who the Druze are:
threadreaderapp.com/thread/1817669…
A day or two into this fiasco, when the videos of 10/7-like horrors reached Israel, 1000s of Israeli Druze broke through the border to help their embattled brethren.

Shocking videos of Druze IL-MPs entering Syria aired on TV. The outcry for assisting the Druze was immense.

The 12-Day War is over, Israel demolished enemies across the Middle East, and Trump & Bibi plan their victory lap in DC.

Naysayers deride the war as a mere averted catastrophe. In reality, Israel has attained regional dominance, & changed geopolitics forever.
Thread. Image
As @SpencerGuard reports, Israel undid Iran’s air defenses, operating with impunity and without casualties. Significant damage was done to the Iranian nuke program and 15 irreplaceable scientists were eliminated. So too, dozens of top military brass were assassinated.
1/ Image
Image
@SpencerGuard Iran’s ballistic missile factories were destroyed & ~65% of Iran's missile launchers & 1k stockpiled missiles were eliminated.
Even if Iranian munitions weren't depleted, their ability to fire is severely damaged. The “bottleneck” of Iranian firepower is now rate-of-fire.

Israel's AF & Mossad struck Iran's nuclear & missile facilities, assassinating scientists & generals.

For months, the pro-Israel & isolationist factions in the Trump admin have been fighting over Iran policy.

Bibi & Trump played you all, & it’s going to change history. Thread. Image
When I was six, my father explained to me that you can't believe anything politicians say publicly, "it's all spin, all of it."

Even their bickering & infighting, it's all staged, and those very politicians attacking each other in the press are shaking hands in private.

Most people are simply not cynical enough to see the world through this lens, Machiavelli is too difficult for them to swallow.

So you heard cries of "Trump sold us out for a plane from Qatar" or "Trump is going to invade Iran & start WWIII."
On and on, all illusions.

Israeli PM Netanyahu laid out his vision for southern Syria:

1) IDF will remain indefinitely across on the Hermon Mt.
2) Syrian forces won't be allowed south of Damascus.
3) IDF will ensure safety for the Druze in Syria.

Establishing a de facto autonomous Druze zone.
Thread. Image
A coalition of Druze have announced the formation of the Sweida Military Council.

The militia seeks to unite Druze forces and acquire the ability to ensure the safety of the populace in southern Syria.

The only obvious threat they could counter are Jolani's forces in Damascus. Image
The Council's statement can be found on this Kurdish Media post.

Essentially, they have thrown their lot in with the Kurdish SDF: they are willing to remain part of Syria, but they want local autonomy, and are willing to use military force to keep it.
