The Israel lobby is not a purely Jewish phenomenon. Much of its support comes from the evangelic Christian community in the USA. They are the most fervent supporters of the organisation that is doing more to kill the USA than any outside force or enemy of the USA it conceives itself to have. This loose confederation of individuals, many of them stupendously wealthy, are constantly eating away at and undermining the very fabric of U.S. society.
Due to a reliance on collective guilt and sympathy for the millions of Jews murdered by the Nazis in death camps the entire subject of whether the acts of successive Israeli governments have been right or wrong has been heavily skewed in favour of them being supported as almost universally right. Little to no criticism of Israeli acts of brutality against the Palestinian population has been permitted. The Israel lobby has largely been responsible for every such cover-up.
The relationship between the Israel lobby and those who inhabit the upper echelons of wealth, power and politics in the USA is an incestuous one where, as the saying goes, one hand washes the other. Money plays a huge part in this process where virtually all who agree to the alignments adhered to profit enormously from it. As long as the political views of those involved remain committed to Israel incompetence and extremism, dishonesty or even criminality hardly matter, only loyalty to the cause is deemed important.
If any individual is seen to step out of line on the long agreed Israel policy that person will immediately be targeted. To those targeting that individual the matter of whether he or she is a competent individual who works to benefit the people of the USA is irrelevant. If that person is not committed to the unswerving support of Israel, right or wrong, that person must, one way or another, be removed from office. Those who express and demonstrate their commitment, no matter how incompetent in performing their duties, are rewarded and supported financially, and in every other possible way to ensure they stay in power.
For the reasons above successive U.S. administrations have shown every indication that the wellbeing and success of Israel is more important to them than that of their own nation. This fact has come into stark focus in recent years as the government of Benjamin Netanyahu began its genocidal campaign against the Palestinian population of Gaza. Palestinians have died in their tens of thousands, most of them innocent men, women and most unforgivably of all, children. Yet criticism from U.S. officialdom has been muted and most of the time, entirely absent. The reason being the stranglehold the Israel lobby has over virtually all politicians holding important positions within the U.S. political hierarchy.
Now however, the disgust felt against the child-killing elites of Israel is sweeping the world and also among the younger demographic within the USA also. All the incestuous relationships across the power-brokers not only in the USA but across the western world are under increasing scrutiny and criticism. The older generation who continue to maintain their grip on power and continue to support Israel right or wrong are increasingly subject to criticism for their uncritical support of genocide.
The young of North America, not under any threat of being attacked and undermined by the Israel lobby in the way their elected officials are see no reason to restrain their criticism of Israel’s murderous acts against the Palestinians. They have long been taught to defend the human rights of all and to fight against injustice and wrongdoing and in their millions now they see with clear-eyed certainty that what the Israelis are doing is wrong. And therefore what their government and leading U.S. politicians are doing in supporting them is wrong also.
The Israel lobby has been like a cancer eating into the fabric of the political sphere in the USA for decade after decade, skewing the primary focus far from the wellbeing and benefit of Americans at home to their detriment while assisting in the crimes of the Israelis in the Middle East. Events long hidden due to the strength of the lobby, the history of the systematic acts of criminality against the Palestinians is coming ever more to the fore. The tide is now massively against the Israelis and for the Palestinians among the youth of the world with the USA far from excluded from this.
The cancer of the Israel lobby within the USA and elsewhere has begun to be treated. The cure will be a long one. The cancerous cells are deeply embedded across all western elites, and in every sphere of the western elite from business to media to politics and beyond. The infestation will not be easily eradicated. The vast majority of the most powerful people in each western nation are infected and will fight hard, as we have seen, to repress, subjugate, punish and imprison those attempting to nullify their effect. But with success, with eradication, comes a renewal of the West, a recapturing of some of the moral high ground that has been lost. This is a goal well worth fighting for, for the sake of ourselves, as well as for the rights of the Palestinian people now suffering under the present genocide.
