        100-com agreed. Isreal, the tiny nation that could never have existed without the backing if the West, is not, and never has been in charge. Even the people actually paying for the propganda are based in the US (Adelson being the biggest example)

          Of course they wouldn’t, but British media is filled to the brim with pro-Israel propaganda, is it not? I wouldn’t think it would be controversial to say that it might have at least some impact on forcing politicians and the public to maintain support for the genocide, but maybe I’m missing something here.

            The difference is that it’s primarily the US in control and by extension groups like AIPAC because the state of Israel’s goals aligns with US interests. The claim wasn’t that there was zero impact. The state of Israel is an easy stand-in for “the Jews” in anti-Semitic conspiracy theories. It’s important to remember that Israel is only able to stand because of the US (and sometimes its European satellites) funneling money to it
