    crazy how there is only one political opinion in the entire United States federal government on this issue, which is "yes, I eagerly support genocide"

    like look at this shit, there are over 400 representatives and every single one of them agrees on this issue: https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-resolution/888/all-actions?overview=closed&q=%7B%22roll-call-vote%22%3A%22all%22%7D

    tlaib was the lone 'present' and a republican voted no lmao

    and yet it's sooooooooooooo important to vote so that my views are represented!!!!!!!

          their lobbyist have massive influence on this issue.

          And i would say this also is the fault of US. It's the ages old money laundering and funnel scheme where US politicians can't just openly steal the budget money so they funnel it to Israel and some of the money get back to them through AIPAC as laundered donations. Only difference is that this is doubly illegal in most other countries in the world but perfectly ok in USA (also note that it isn't the main reason for the staunch support for Israel, they would do it even for free, but a lucrative side grift and adds personal incentive to class interests).

        "Israel" does exert influence but American bourgeoisie is the dominant partner in the relationship

        America is a partner in this genocide because it views "Israel" as a key pillar of US hegemony

        israel truly truly runs america. how can anybody deny this reality? when presented with all the facts what other conclusion is there to come to?

        This is like saying Azerbijan runs Turkey. You can say this has "nothing to do with Judaism" but that is were this train of thought has to go if you seriously think that this is a separate thing.
