Israel gets basically everything they want. The United States gives them a blank check to commit as much genocide as they want. The entire US government, and most governments in the west, give their full-throated support for them. They are basically immune from all international law. They have pretty much everything. So what do they actually want? Us specifically to pat them on the heads and call them good boys and girls for supporting genocide and apartheid?

    This paints it like zionists and Israel are exerting all the control here but in reality they are partners in warcrime with the USA. The USA wants it's foothold in the MidEast and Israel is a good foothold because it also allows them to keep pressure on Russia considering Israel has nukes. Israel does all of this with the blessing of the USA, not because it exerts any control over the USA.

    They want us to stop pointing out the blatant contradictions in their ideology.

    They already get everything they want, materially. They just hate being reminded of that because they have a collective persecution complex.

    They still haven't eliminated the diaspora. They want to forcibly assimilate all Jews under an Israeli zionist identity, then the Zionist project will be complete.

    Jews in the diaspora contradict the brutal security apparatus of Israel.

      "In his [Ben Gurion] diary he kept a list of Arab villages with the numbers of their inhabitants. ‘Our movement is maximalist,’ he wrote. ‘Even all of Palestine is not our final goal.’"

    It's not enough to have total political and economic power they need to be loved. It's basically the same as far right Republicans demanding the culture cater to their whims.
