> And it is so powerful that even in the face of repression and limitations to freedom of speech that clearly go to its advantage, you don't dare to point your finger at it but claim that it's just an excuse for something different.
It is not that this force does not exist. It is that it is means to end, not the end itself.

So is giving billions in aids to Israel every year, despite Israel being a rich country (and tens of billions in the last two years alone, and to bomb civilians, no less).
So is providing diplomatic cover to Israel in the UN and against institutions such as the International Criminal Court, at the cost of your own moral standing in the world.
So is passing laws punishing boycotts of Israel- which the US has done for many years, before Trump.
So is absorbing the cost of the instability caused by Israel in the Middle East and intervening in its defence every time they need it.
At what point will you start connecting the dots and realise that all these means to some different end always end up benefitting Israel, and no one else?
We have given Ukraine more money in the last 3 years through foreign aid then Israel has received in the last 30 years
I don't actually believe you are trying to argue in good faith here.

Many US companies and US oligarchs benefit from the actions listed here. You are focused on Israel as if no one in the US is profiting from these actions.

US companies benefit from punishing boycotts of Israel? Benefit from sending it (and not to a different country) billions in aid? Benefit from illegally detaining students that oppose it? Benefit from condemning the ICC? Can you explain a) how; b) who these companies and oligarchs are; c) why always Israel and not any other country or mix of countries?
