      Yes. But that’s not perpetrated by the states, especially not with how many nations support Israel, so it is not correct to call it a genocide by the states

        Israel is a US millitary base in country form, all of its genocide is committed with the express approval, support, and material assistance of the US Empire.

          Absolutely not. It’s not a one way street, Israel is exerting large amounts of bribes and influence to push the states in such a way

            The tail does not wag the dog. Israel has some counter-influence, but is ultimately a puppet state for the US Empire.

                No, they don’t have nearly as much influence as you think. The US Empire is massive and supports Israel because of its utility in securing its interests, not because of Israeli influence.
