This isn’t (only) some nefarious Israeli plot. Capitalist states are oligarchies, and the US is the imperial hegemon. The tail isn’t wagging the dog, and the US is largely undermining it’s legitimacy itself. Israel is the US’ unsinkable aircraft carrier in West Asia, and were there not an Israel, the US would have to invent an Israel. This is business as usual.
The article of the first link really is about aa uncritical and non-nuanced as it gets. Thanks for sharing anyway, there are still some interesting facts to pull from it.
Regardless of the article’s nuance or criticality, Foreign Policy is a major mouthpiece of the US military-industrial complex.
