Myth of Israeli Control Over US Has Deep Antisemitic Roots
Summarized from The Jerusalem Post by baba
An opinion piece argues that the claim of Israel controlling the U.S. government is an antisemitic myth with a long history, contrasting it with historical instances of coalition warfare where the senior partner led. Commentators like Tucker Carlson have promoted this narrative regarding the war against Iran. The author asserts that this accusation is unique to Israel and stems from antisemitic beliefs about Jewish power, ignoring America's own reasons for engagement and Israel's history of fighting wars without direct U.S. combat support.
