Well that’s the case being laid out by John Mearsheimer. Take a listen for yourself. This is a qualified academic from the university of Chicago who is not a random person on the Internet. He talked about how he had an article he gave to the Atlantic that was supposed to run, but it got shut down due to higher-ups in the Atlantic apparently being worried about how the Israeli lobby would view it.
Relevant part starts at about the 1 hour 12 minute mark…. The video is also divided into chapters so you can easily scroll to the parts about Israel.
Part of the point that Mearsheimer makes is that yes there are times when Israel and the USA have similar interests, but there are other times when they do not have similar interests, but in those situations the power of the Israeli lobby over rules and Israel gets whatever it wants from America. A very unique thing in history.
In the present time is there is an undeniable divide between the American people and the American government when it comes to supporting Netanyahu. Large numbers of American Democrats and Republicans oppose funding the Israeli war in Gaza, whereas large numbers of Democrat and Republican politicians support funding the war in Gaza.
As Mearsheimer points out, Israel is faced with a dilemma. They can either attempt to change peoples opinion or they can change their own policy toward Gaza. Part of the big problem of the first choice is too many of the pro Israel. People have no dialogue whatsoever They just scream Nazi or antisemitic people. You also have simpleton people in the West who have their reasons for supporting Israel such as they will say “Palestinians will not be happy until every Jew is dead” that’s a a complete propaganda. Or they will say things like “God gave the Jews all that land”. Those ladder group of people are among the most selfish people in America and really difficult to be around with.
Some in Israel do you want to see their policy toward Gaza changed but to that point you have the Netanyahu propaganda of claiming Jews would face extinction, which of course is complete propaganda as Hamas is utterly incapable of taking Israel let alone defending Gaza.
