Now, the state of Israel – not AIPAC, to be clear – is running television ads in Iowa, a key Senate battleground state that may only be in play for Democrats thanks to the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran.

In one TV ad, Israel specifically touts its willingness to wage war. “Israel confronts Iran and its network of proxies directly, addressing those dangers at their source,” the ad says, claiming that this helps “deter aggression” and “stop a wider conflict” – as if America isn’t currently at war with Iran.

“For Americans, the benefit is straightforward,” the ad claims

      Not quite. Israel was allowed to act like it took over your government due to its interests aligning with those of your ruling class. The Musks and Zuckerbergs of America would be acting very differently if they didn’t like what they were seeing.

      Israel has less money than California alone. Don’t be silly.

      USA founded Israel as our base of operations in the middle east. It’s our baby, and it wouldn’t last long without US support.

      Our government has been taken over, you can tell who took it over quite easily. They’re international interests that control our monetary system, who control all of the wealth. Look at who “serves” at the Fed, and who they work for before and after their term.

      JP Morgan Chase. Goldman Sachs. Vanguard. BlackRock. There’s a reason Amazon pays no taxes, and it’s not because they’re Israeli.
