It is a classic example of David and Goliath. Israel is David and America is Goliath. The slingshot is the all-powerful Israel lobby group in the US, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), which, in many ways, dictates the destiny and the many policies of the United States of America.

The strategy is simple and obvious, but is not known to many. AIPAC supports and contributes funds to pet American politicians from the President to senators to congressmen. They fund rival politicians, so whoever wins, they win, Republican or Democrat, whichever way the wind blows. Right now, it is the Republican era, the storm that is sweeping America.

AIPAC dictates certain US presidential appointees. Henry Kissinger was a prime appointee AIPAC was able to install. Headline, The Intercept, 30 November 2003, “Henry Kissinger Prevented Peace in the Middle East … Let’s not forget that Kissinger’s crimes included the deaths of thousands of Arabs and Israelis.”

One of the greatest geopolitical achievements of AIPAC was to make ex-President George W. Bush invade Iraq on the pretext that it possessed weapons of mass destruction (WMD), which was later exposed in the US media as an excuse for the invasion. In 2002, AIPAC expressed its goal to lobby the US Congress to “authorize the use of force in Iraq, and in 2003, the Iraq War was defended at AIPAC events...”

“In the early 2000s, US President George W. Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair both falsely asserted that Saddam’s weapons programs were still active and large stockpiles of WMD were hidden in Iraq ... In 2002, AIPAC expressed its intent to lobby Congress to authorize use of force in Iraq, and in 2003, the Iraq War was defended at AIPAC events…

“(Furthermore) in 2005, a Pentagon analyst pleaded guilty to charges of passing US government secrets to senior AIPAC officials, in what became known as the AIPAC espionage scandal.” (Wikipedia)

Why is US President Trump extremely pro-Israel, even wanting to occupy Gaza? Is it primarily because of AIPAC’s alleged influence through campaign fund contributions and its intimacy with the Republican Party?

In 1954, AIPAC was founded by a lobbyist for Israel, Isaiah L. Kenen, “partly to counter negative international reactions to Israel’s Qibya massacre of Palestinian villagers that year.” So a key goal of AIPAC was to defend Israel’s image due to its rogue brinkmanship. AIPAC subsequently gained peak influence in the 1980s.

Initially, AIPAC members raised funds for its pet candidates informally through political action committees unaffiliated with AIPAC. In late 2021, AIPAC formalized and institutionalized funds for its pet candidates, installing the “Super PAC” which could spend funds on behalf of specific candidates.

AIPAC critics claimed that AIPAC “(acts) as an agent of the Israeli government with a ‘stranglehold’ on the United States Congress with its power and influence… strongly allied with the Likud Party of Israel and the Republican Party in the US.” (Wikipedia)

Through AIPAC, Israel has led the US to be more involved in its war with Iran and the entire Arab and Persian worlds to a point that the anger of the Arabs and Persians is more focused now on the US rather than on Israel itself. Israel became braver in its wars against the Arabs and Persians because of US support.

The Israel brinkmanship can now make Netanyahu or his future replacement wage total war against all its enemies with total US support, and bring the world to the edge of a nuclear holocaust.
