By evidence of my other comments to this post I enjoy mocking Israel. That being said; Israel is an extension of US interests. We often confuse the interest of the working class of the US as being "the US".
The "dogs" of the US for Israel are not the the capitalist class of the US. Their interests very much align with those of the Zionist state.
The material interests of the citizens of the imperial core are of no interest to an Imperialist state with no working class movement to resist it.
My point being. Israel is not the cause of the degrading conditions of the US. It is a result of the strong bourgeois dictatorship we live under.
It's important to understand the material reasons for why our country keeps supporting a genocidal project. Especially, as we see a shift in the "scapegoat" move from immigrants and Muslims to include other groups as well. It's important to know that there is no "scapegoat" (duh that's the meaning of the term but I digress). The US is doing exactly what it's ruling class sees as the best for its material interests.
So, do not fool yourself into thinking the empire of the US is making a good or moral decision even if it does distance itself from Israel in its words. Israel IS the US. They are not different from one another. There is no puppet master controlling US policians. The material interest of the ruling class align with supporting the Zionist project that is an extension of US imperialism.
ADL or APAIC. These are just methods for US capitalist to fund their interests. These organizations aren't "controlling" the US. They are their to ensure the interest of this colonial project are met.
- There are literally 2 groups of people with aligned interests declaring them one is simple confusion. APAIC is literally a largish part of the alignment because whilst the government budget runs into trillions single digit millions are dispositive in the continuation of a lawmakers career which is why they spend half their time fundraising.
  Pretending that they aren't effected by who pays for their life effectively is insane
  
  It's not confusing. It's looking at the world through a lense of class struggle and Imperialist interest.
  I literally never said individual politicians aren't effected. But calling the US the "dog" of Israel is backwards. American capitalist interest are literally being enacted by our attack dog in the middle east.
  If it helps you. Thinking of Israel as America's 51st state and APAIC as it's largest industries lobbying group would be closer to what the material relationship is. It's largest industry is just Americas settler colonialist project in the middle east.
- Personally I think Israel is just the US bulldog in the region. The weapons Israel buys is for its own interests, the weapons they get for free is for the dirty work they do for the US : Yemen, Syria, Iran,...
