The Zionist lobby is relevant not because “Israel” controls the United States, but because our ruling class has been irrationally seduced by the lobby’s ideology. For generations now, the bulk of the U.S. empire’s elites have been enamored with the myth of “Israel”; a myth that has no truth to it, and that therefore will utterly distort somebody’s sense of how the world works. Most of our class enemies believe their own propaganda when it comes to “Israel,” which is an error that comes with an ever-heavier cost to the imperial structure. The Zionist entity is in unprecedented existential danger, and so is trying to start a regional war with the hope of saving itself; which has entailed new inter-elite conflicts, and new divisions that the revolutionary forces can exploit.
Our political establishment is facing a reckoning on “Israel.” It’s being confronted with the reality that today, when Washington has already gained the loyalty of almost all the Arab states, the Zionist project is a liability for imperial power. The imperialists started on the project to colonize Palestine because at the time, Palestine was the most important piece of land in West Asia for them to prioritize. But when the Arab states normalized relations with the Zionist entity, “Israel” itself became no longer as necessary as it once was; the empire had succeeded in flipping the balance of power. Which means that all of the blowback Washington experiences due to the Gaza genocide, and all of the military resources Washington feels obliged to concentrate around “Israel,” does not come with sufficient benefits to the hegemon.
We need to understand that the imperial elites do not necessarily behave rationally; to act like they do is to give too much credit to our enemies. The reality is that most of these elites have bought into Zionist myths about “Israel” being exceptional and indispensable, and have consequently created strategic weaknesses within their own system. They’ve sworn their allegiance to a death cult, one that would rather launch nukes via the “Samson option” than see its ethno-state end. And since even nukes can’t save “Israel,” its followers will settle for inflicting terror upon the United States. This is what the colonizers in occupied Palestine will do when Palestine is freed, and they move to imperial hub countries like the USA: join paramilitary organizations, and murder the people who they feel caused them to lose.
These vigilantes are a rogue element within Zionism; but their mentality is shared by the elites, both in “Israel” and the United States itself, who are willing to assassinate anyone they see as an obstacle to the Zionist crusade. The logical conclusion of this thinking is a violent mass purge of political dissidents, which we’re increasingly close to seeing; but the lack of unity among the elites is something we could use to lessen the effectiveness of this purge, and bring victory for the people.
“Israel” is becoming such a source of elite disunity because even though the Zionist cult has many powerful adherents in the United States, there are also many who recognize the absurdity of “Israel first.” There is nothing exceptional about “Israel” that makes it uniquely important to the imperial hegemon, compared to other nearby U.S. proxies like Turkey or Saudi Arabia. “Israel” has been elevated in its perceived importance by both the pro-Zionist fanatics within our ruling class, and the Chomskyite leftists who dismiss the Zionist lobby’s importance. To treat “Israel” as indispensable for America is to validate the ideology of the Zionist fanatics, whose dogmas do not match with the strategic reality.
One of these true believers is RFK Jr, who’s argued that if “Israel” were to disappear, this alone would enable China, Russia, and BRICS+ to gain control over 90% of the world’s oil. This may sound revelatory, but it’s another Zionist lie, designed to sell Americans on why the U.S. supposedly can’t do without an “Israel.” RFK propagates lies like this not because he’s been blackmailed, as some observers of the Zionist lobby have falsely concluded, but because RFK and the Kennedy family are profoundly pro-Zionist in their convictions. They’re part of the majority within the capitalist class who sincerely believe the narratives that Zionism has constructed. And for as useful as these narratives have been to the empire, the widespread elite desire to uphold them at all costs has produced desperation. Desperation that’s leading “Israel” to intervene within U.S. politics in extreme ways, creating tensions between the elites that may escalate into civil war.
“Israel” and its U.S. mercenary collaborators are seeking to eliminate any leaders, particularly within the conservative movement, who challenge the Zionist mythology. I personally suspect that Tucker Carlson will be one of the next targets in this Zionist campaign of recriminations, especially if he runs for president. This doesn’t mean we should support one wing of the imperial establishment over the other; it means we should observe how these conflicts will impact our conditions, and intervene accordingly.
When these kinds of violent inter-capitalist confrontations happen, this prompts the masses to react with grave concern, because the instability of the system has been revealed. It’s clear that the government isn’t able to do even the bare minimum, because its leaders are too busy fighting each other. When the masses see this, many of them will react by siding with one wing within the capitalist class, because under our conditions bourgeois politics are the default; and this pro-bourgeois tendency among many of the people is a problem, but it’s absolutely something that can be overcome. That is, if we understand what motivates the masses.
The Americans who’ve picked sides in this DC shadow war are actually among the most advanced members of the masses. They’ve already made the leap of seeing that our government is controlled by transnational interests, and they desire to take part in a mass movement for defeating these interests. When they see Tucker Carlson or Marjorie Taylor Greene speak out against the Zionist lobby, it makes sense that they would get behind these figures. The problem these radicalized masses are going to keep coming up against, though, is that no bourgeois populist leader can ever succeed in bringing revolution.
As long as the masses who oppose Zionism lack collective organization, and the leadership that a workers party provides, whatever resistance there is against the Zionist lobby and its deep state allies will be ineffective. The lower levels of capital are not capable of defeating monopoly finance capital; at least not on their own. Either this resistance will be led by the proletariat, or America will be prevented from saving itself.
The United States is collapsing; which our ruling elites wish wasn’t the case, but see as an inevitable situation that they need to manage. The Zionist cult is working to actively speed up this collapse, and introduce ever-more violence and chaos into our society. The only way to combat this chaos is by giving the American people the means to overthrow their monopolist dictatorship, and build a workers state that can defend against these sabotage attempts.
