    They support and punish specific politions and groups but AIPAC isn’t the driver, Zionism is an essential part of the US policy in the MENA region. Israel is essentially a colony of the US and it’s allies. They would be happy to do it less openly like they had been for decades, keeping Palestine subjected but not aggravating onlookers too much, but the right wing in Israel are blood-thirsty genociders.

      Zionism is an essential part because Israel has told politicians it is. Even if it was essential, not obeying every Israel command doesn’t mean Zionism goes bye bye.

      Look at the UAE, Qatar and Saudi. They PAY they US to be proxy bases. The host US army personell and weapons and pay for it. And then Israel bombs Qatar that’s completely insane. People really don’t understand how bad that was geopolitics wise.

      There’s also the difference of access to information. The genocide in Gaza is one of the most televised genocides ever. Because people are able to see the truth of what’s happening and not just the propaganda that’s pushed, it means that it’s much harder for the Israeli and USA governments to control the narrative (like hiding the fact that the right wing in Israel is a bunch of blood-thirsty genociders)
