    The US is by far Israel’s largest supporter in the world, both politically and financially. We hold the strings to control them

      Yeah, you hear that conspiracy theory crap a lot. “Shadowy string pulling” instead of getting into the nitty gritty details of the specific treaties Congress made back in the day that aren’t so easy to wiggle out of.

      Money lets you put pressure, but it does not give you mind control powers, or any kind of medieval fealty.

      edit: Hell, medieval fealty wasn’t even that reliable, as any perusal through European history will give lots of examples of a King’s subjects fucking off.
