To please Israel, Trump attacked Iran, an act of war, and Trump is likely to submit to Netanyahu’s pressure to conduct a larger American attack on Iran. That the American people can be sent to war by the Israeli Prime Minister is an example of the control that Israel exercises over the United States of America.
The British government rivals and perhaps exceeds Washington’s subservience to Netanyahu. British citizens who protest the Israeli genocide in Palestine have been formally classified by the UK government as terrorists. This makes the protesters subject to arrest and imprisonment under Britain’s Terrorism Act 2000. In other words, if you criticize Israel, you are a terrorist subject to punishment by years in prison. Clearly, the British people no longer have free speech. The British media are carefully avoiding the hunger strike by British citizens imprisoned for daring to protest Israel’s genocide of Palestine. But, of course, the British media are outraged by the shooting of an ICE protester in Minnesota.
Neither do Americans have free speech. Critics of Israel are fired from their jobs. In states such as Texas and Florida critics of Israel are prevented from having state contracts and from working for the state government. Students who protest the genocide in Gaza are expelled from their university. If the students are foreign, Trump deports them. Trump is so completely under Netanyahu’s thumb that Trump has turned on his two strongest supporters, Marjorie Taylor Green and Thomas Massey. To please Netanyahu Trump has demonized his own supporters and is driving them out of the House of Representatives. Clearly in America, the First Amendment is dead even for elected United States Representatives. Israel has demonstrated its power to cancel the First Amendment of the US Constitution.
It is difficult to say which country, the US or the UK, is the most subservient to the Israeli government. For many years, Israeli Prime Ministers have bragged publicly about their control of the United States. But if an American citizen acknowledges Israel’s control, the American citizen is demonized as an antisemite and conspiracy theorist, despite the fact that he can cite Israeli prime ministers’ public boasts as his source.
The United States is a strange place. Americans pledge their allegiance to the United States of America, but their government pledges allegiance to Israel. President Trump parades around as if he is the master of the world, but he is not even the master of his own country.
