Who is denying that? It's in the name. You are not called being called out for describing them as pro-israel. You're being called out for giving them a completely unjustified amount of power in your mind. This is exactly like when liberals bring up the NRA Boogeyman, as though the NRA has controlled American politics, ever. The NRA did not create pro-gun politicians. It merely supports them. Now remove the NRA and replace it with AIPAC. Some of us believe that supporting the only pro-america democracy in the Middle East who happens to be a technological powerhouse is a no-brainer. The fact that we can share intelligence with them is another bonus considering they are probably the best espionage outfit on the planet. I also support dumping a shitload of money into Ukraine. So I'm not sure where your narrative holds up there unless of course zielinski is hypnotized by netanyahu and so really it's Israel all the way down ๐ Edit: oh and you can bet your ass if another country that shared our values and priorities was surrounded by barbarian cultures that sought a religious revolution that spanned the globe, constantly trying to exterminate them in the most horrific ways, I would definitely support us spending 5% of our foreign aid on that country.
