If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck; it is not a duck.

Yes, it simply represents the leverage Israel holds over the US.

No, the US supports Israel because it’s in the interest of their own capital class, which is also why the Brits supported the creation of Israel in the first place.

The idea that the US supports Israel because of Israeli leverage also sounds quite a bit like antisemitic conspiracy theories, and I’m surprised people throw it around willy-nilly.
