I wonder what those people will say now after insisting that Israel controls USA.
(National interests above all in international geopolitics. Always.)
That's a very simplistic way to look at the US-Israel relationship.
We need to be very clear what we're talking about when we say US and Israel.
When we are talking about the US, are you talking about the US President/government/administration, the US military industrial complex, the US corporations/billionaires (US ecosystem) or the American people?
Because the relationship of each of those to Israel is very different.
Many academics and historians have made the case that the US Presidents/politicians are controlled by Israel through lobbying and other tactics.
When you talk about the US military industrial complex, it gets even more interesting. If you study the different security agencies, sometimes they are indistinguishable from the Israeli security agencies. They have a much more integrated relationship than we can even comprehend. Despite Israel not being part of the 5-eyes, it still has much more in-depth relationship with the US security agencies and the military industrial complex than those nations have. In fact, it is easy to make a case that Israel is the military outpost of the US in the Middle East, when we compare the relationships of the security states in both countries.
When we talk about the US ecosystem that consists of mainstream media, corporations; we need an outsized influence of Israel as well. Many corporations are headed by either rich dual Israeli-American billionaire citizens, or by billionaires that have deep links to Israel. This US ecosystem is how Israel managed to historically have such high approval ratings with the American people.
Now the American people, they have historically been very supportive of Israel, but due to the sheer nature of the rise of social media, what they have seen in Gaza; they are not supportive of Israel.
The better question to ask is: who is more dependent on the other - Israel or the US. The clear answer to the question is Israel is far more dependent on the US than vice versa. The US is the world's sole superpower with almost a monopoly over most international institutions and bodies. Israel is isolated in the world, and needs the sole US support to counterbalance every other nation in the world. Israel on the other hand can offer the US far less than vice versa. Israel needs the US for survival, the US does not need Israel for survival.
