    But it is true to an extent that Israel exerts influence in US politics. AIPAC funds politicians’ campaigns.

        I read up a bit about AIPAC, and yes, it’s true that as far as we can tell, at least since 1954, there’s no direct funding by Israel (couldn’t find a reliable source concerning the claim of clandestine direct funding of AZC by Israel, so it might never have been the case). But there’s a lot of collaboration between Israel and AIPAC. So, in a way, Israel does influences the US, but it’s entirely thanks to US citizens happy to help them. It’s not clear to me why they are happy to.
