DISINFO: Israel controls the US, doesn't listen to Europe
SUMMARY
The US is ruled by Israel and Netanyahu acts freely, he does not listen to the US, nor to the leadership of Europe, nor to diplomacy. He is the one who rules the US, not the other way around.
RESPONSE
This claim misrepresents the relationship between the US and Israel, painting Israel as a dominant power that “rules” the US. This portrayal taps into long standing anti-Jewish conspiracy theories that falsely claim that Jewish people or Israelis secretly control world affairs, a conspiracy theory often employed by pro-Kremlin outlets. See here for our article on antisemitism in pro-Kremlin propaganda.
While the US and Israel are close allies, their views on several key issues are far from identical; these views are also not stable across time as they change based on the governing administrations in both countries. For example, the current administrations of President Biden and Prime Minister Netanyahu have shown clear signs of policy differences on issues such as settlement legality and expansion, and even over the current conflict in Gaza and Lebanon.
See similar cases that ISIS was created by the CIA and Mossad, that JFK was assassinated by Israel which controls US deep-state, that the 7 October attacks were organized by Mossad which controls Hamas, that the Israeli Mossad was involved in the 9/11 attacks, that Beirut explosion was staged by Mossad, and that Russia was not involved in 2016 US elections, it was Mossad, UAE, al Qaeda and ISIS.
