A constant attack by the Loony Left and the Marxist Right.
The short answer is “no”.
History teaches. If Israel, or, before Israel’s founding, “the Jooz” control American policy, they’re not very good at it.
Here is the full list of Israel/“the Jooz” failing to control America:
- Pre-1948 (WWII): The US enforced strict immigration quotas under the 1924 Act and refused to significantly ease entry for Jewish refugees fleeing Nazi persecution; the 1939 MS St. Louis was turned away, and requests to bomb Auschwitz were rejected.
- 1948 Arab-Israeli War: The US imposed an arms embargo on all parties; Israel could not buy weapons from America and had to source them elsewhere.
- 1956 Suez Crisis: Israel seized Sinai with allies but withdrew fully after US economic pressure and UN demands under Eisenhower.
- 1963 Dimona: The Kennedy administration demanded inspections of Israel’s nuclear reactor and threatened consequences for non-compliance.
- 1981 Osirak strike: The Reagan administration condemned Israel’s bombing of Iraq’s reactor and suspended F-16 deliveries.
- 1982 Lebanon War: The Reagan administration suspended cluster munitions and pressured Israel to halt its advance on Beirut.
- 1991 Gulf War: The Bush administration urged Israel not to retaliate against Iraqi Scud missiles to preserve the coalition; Israel complied and accepted US Patriots.
- 2003 Iraq invasion: Israel warned against it and did not push for action.
- 2015 JCPOA (Iran deal): Despite intense Israeli lobbying and Netanyahu’s congressional address opposing the deal, the Obama administration negotiated and implemented it.
- 2016 UNSC Resolution 2334: The Obama administration abstained, allowing the resolution condemning Israeli settlements; Israel had sought a US veto.
