U.S. Flag with Israeli Stars
Which of the United States or Israel uses the other for its foreign policy? Is Israel the proxy for US foreign policy in the Middle East? Or does Israel determine US foreign policy, both through and because of the Zionist lobby and the neocons and liberals present in the US administration? Is it “the world upside down” “tails wagging dogs”? This is a very old question: who manipulates whom in this American-Israeli relationship?

Trump’s 20-point Gaza peace plan in full
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c70155nked7o
Look at the date format - not American.
Grok documents the source’s leftism:
“ Pressenza’s philosophy is rooted in universalist humanism, a worldview that centers the inherent dignity and value of every human being, emphasizing empathy, cooperation, and the transcendence of divisions like nationalism or ideology. This aligns with the broader Humanist Movement, which advocates for personal and social liberation through nonviolent means and the rejection of all forms of oppression.
Key pillars include:
• Peace and Nonviolence: Prioritizing the peaceful resolution of conflicts, prevention of violence, and withdrawal from occupied territories as essential to human progress.
• Disarmament: A strong focus on nuclear and conventional disarmament, including support for campaigns like the Campaign to Stop Killer Robots.
• Human Rights and Anti-Discrimination: Combating all forms of discrimination (e.g., based on race, gender, or orientation) and amplifying marginalized voices.
• Diversity and Social Base Empowerment: Celebrating cultural and social diversity while providing a platform for grassroots movements, social activism, and community-driven change.
In practice, Pressenza’s journalism blends reporting with activism, aiming not just to document suffering but to analyze its root causes and promote transformative solutions. It critiques systemic violence (e.g., war, inequality, environmental destruction) from a progressive, anti-authoritarian lens, often highlighting global solidarity efforts and alternative visions for a nonviolent world. This philosophy positions Pressenza as a counter-narrative to mainstream media, fostering a “lucid” engagement that inspires action toward a more equitable, peaceful humanity.”
IMO, useless speculation.
GOD is in control.
why make so much of it? This is why they are called allies. They work together using each other’s ideas and needs and come up- with a joint determination on what is best for them...US and Israel. If the US could do this wouldn’t it be a boom for man? But they are too busy trying to analyze each other’s ways of doing things whether it is in the best interest or not.

Israel is an American ally, not an enemy.
In reality, both affect the other in numerous changing ways.
The idea that one “controls” the other is simplistic, a poor way to view reality.
This appears to be a plausible explanation of what’s actually going on. America certainly hasn’t benefitted from any of these wars that we have been involved with, on the contrary it has definitely weakened us with overwhelming unpayable debt. Nor do I think Netanyahu’s policies are good for Israel, ironically I think those policies will lead to Israel’s demise.
And I don’t think Iran’s possibly acquiring nukes is the primary reason we are going after them. Besides having lots of oil and gas Iran sits at a strategic location where China and Russia want to install trade routes.
As far as Gaza is concerned there’s trillions of cf of gas sitting offshore and the West wants to build a canal through northern Gaza to connect the Red Sea to the Mediterranean Sea to have as an alternative to the Suez canal. So the reasons for all these wars may not be for the reasons they are telling us.
> …because of the Zionist lobby <
My friends and I will occasionally sit around and talk politics. And sometimes we’ll talk about the pharmaceutical company lobby or the Israel lobby.
But Zionist lobby? Who the heck talks like that?
In my book it has a hidden meaning. I think the authors accidentally tipped their hand there.
What is best for the United States is the primary concern. Since God said of Israel that He would Bless those who bless her and curse those who curse her, it would appear that backing and siding with Israel is best for the US.
Trump’s Foreign Policy: A Sham?
"Some believe that Donald Trump actually wants to end the war in Ukraine. Others believe he’s as belligerent as his predecessors. Who’s right? Perhaps a bit of both. He may have wanted to end American involvement in the war in Ukraine but, as president, he cannot put a stop to the United States’ war-mongering. If he gives the impression of wanting to end the war, it may be in order to turn it over to the Europeans and begin the one he wants to start with China, which is the priority target...."Trump wants to start a war with China? How about China wanting to start a war with Taiwan?
State assassinations: a way to conceal political and military failure
"The recent spate of assassinations committed by Israel and the United States has drawn attention to what appears to be a growing trend: “decapitation.” War increasingly resembles ordinary criminality punishable under the law, specifically homicide or first-degree murder."Soleimani was targeted becuase he was about to start another Iraqi civil war, and everyone Israel targeted were Hamas and Hezbollah killed were involved in the October 7 attacks."The list of “targeted” assassinations has grown rapidly in recent times. If Iranian General Qassem Soleimani was killed by a US drone on January 3, 2020 in Baghdad, the following assassinations were carried out by Israel..."
The 12-Day War and the World Conflict
"The war against Iran, which Israel has been seeking for over 20 years and which it launched with a blatant aggression on June 13, ended on June 24. A surprise attack ended with a surprise ceasefire. It is only a truce because the project of US-Israeli hegemony in West Asia (the Middle East) remains. Defeating Iran in order to achieve this hegemony is still on the agenda because the independence of a country of 90 million people constitutes a major obstacle. At the same time, the conquest of Iran would be a significant blow by the United States against its Russian and Chinese adversaries, and therefore a significant gain in a world war that has yet to be named."The Islamic Republic of Iran's 45 year war regarding the existence of Israel is again, a subject not worth addressing directly.
"As if the genocide in Palestine were not enough, Israel simultaneously unleashed a war through a blatant and large-scale aggression. Does not Israel best fit the description of a “rogue state,” a term that the United States indiscriminately hurled at the countries it targeted?"USA: Reflections on Another Election
"Having been mostly silent about American imperialism and the havoc that it wreaks, mainstream Western commentators were suddenly very vocal about the American election. They all voiced their opinions and made their predictions. Geopolitical knowledge, on the other hand, was absent from the minds of citizens, even though it was in a way the elephant in the room."Pressenza Youtube channels, just look up what they say about Gaza, and take not of the absences of the talking directly about Hamas or October 7, except for interviewing Assange's wife.
Is this good enough, or is more needed?
I see the anti-Semite caucus is chiming in as expected.
You’re just an incredibly ignorant person calling anyone with an opinion different than yours an antisemite.
Let’s count the Jew focus: +1.
Let’s count the Jew focus: +1.
You come off as being mentally deranged. I comment on many different threads and different topics here on FR with Israel just being a small part of my overall commentary. Whereas you are a one trick pony who only seems concerned with Israel. So accusing me of only focusing on Israel is pretty ridiculous but I’ve come to expect that from you.
Not as bad as I recall. Certainly not in the maniacally focused (see tagline).
Carry on.
It’s more like the MI6, CIA, Mossad Deep State henchmen for the globalists jointly control the political levels across the three countries.
