    Squirrel is wildly overstating how powerful the Israeli lobby is in the US which quickly treads into antisemitic conspiracies. Its just a matter of if the accusations are accurate or not.

    The only reason he won anything ever is because of the Israel lobby. His entire political being is due to Zionism's hegemony in the US.

    This is just not factually correct. Trump has a much wider base of support than Zionists and AIPAC. Zionism isn't the majority or even the plurality of his support. They do not "own" Trump. If anything they bow to him. He is Cyrus.

      AIPAC / the Israel lobby does gatekeeping and signal boosting. Not that much more. It only really seems effective because capitalist owned media essentially forms a dictatorship in a bourgeois democracy.

    None of what was said is antisemitic though?

    They pointed out how powerful zionists backed his campaign, and how it would have been stupid for him to do anything other than support isntreal.
