According to the debate, they had their reasons. But still -- when one hundred and eighty six nations say one thing, and two say another, you have to wonder about the two.

Yeah, it's a complicated tight line to walk. Hence why it should be avoided implying that Israel puppets the United states and thus falling into actual Nazi conspiracy theories.
The influence of Israeli lobbyists and their affiliates is undeniable. As is the influence of Saudi, UK, Japan, fucking Bermuda...
Fixating on Israelis as uniquely influential is a problem. But then we have no problem with ranting about Trump being a "Russia controlled puppet", so we clearly aren't above a little Cold War style hysteria.
It might behove us to ask why Benny from Philly has such disproportionate influence, rather than just writing every observation of influence off as Jew Hate.
But that gets us into a whole conversation about domestic police lobbying, the Pentagon's revolving door with industry, the role of the O&G lobbyists, etc. And that's even worse than antisemitism. It's anti-Americanism.
