    Both Democrats and Republicans literally get millions on campaign donations and lobbying from AIPAC, saying that pointing this out is antisemitism is pure manipulation and honestly Hasbara . Anti Zionism is not antisematism.

        The fact that Israel is the 51st state of the USA doesn’t mean that they cannot have politicians in their pocket for preferential treatment. They do have a high level of control in politics due to its lobbying and “donations” (bribes).

        I am not denying that the USA has tons of geopolitical interest in Israel and “if it didn’t exist we would have to invent one” - Joe Biden. But saying that Israel holds no sway in USA politics is just disingenuous. Both countries affects each other politics, and Israel is the most beloved colonial project of the USA.
