Israel doesnt let US military planes do overflights, or land. It was a huge deal in 2016 when they let a navy destroyer resupply in one of its ports. Does that sound like a puppet to you? We have no real permanenet military bases in Israel either. They wont allow them.
What do you think israel can do if the usa decide not to take any order from israel and the usa decide to stop all billions dollars and arms to israel?
They can stop their bribes. cough I mean campaign donations. Because AIPAC is totally not a foreign lobbying entity, right?
The US doesnt have any military interests that relate to the middle east that we couldnt get without Israel. Israel's brutal colonialism in that region and willingness to use terrorism to achieve their ends has always been a massive millstone around our neck and a massive stain on our national character. Do you think supporting them has no costs to us? And what do we get in return?
Most of the "enemies" of the US in that region are our enemies because we support Israel. Osama Bin Laden said specifically that the 9/11 attacks were to wake the US people up to the repression of the Palestinian and Iraqi innocents.
