So, you have no hard evidence? No factual pushback to the facts I have posted links to, like the amount of money Israeli lobbyists pay out to leading US politicians. No pushback to articles in Israeli media, that report on things US media will not, like the importance, to Israel, of the outcome of a House primary in KY.
What does that have to do with anything? No one denies that there is significant lobbying on behalf of Israel. You don't have to wait 20 to 30 years to discover that - it's like observing that the pharmaceutical companies or realtors or health insurance firms or tech companies are spending a lot on lobbying and PACs. Of course.
But none of that is evidence - at all - of the specific claim that we were discussing. Namely, that Donald Trump is secretly motivated by a desire to extend the war and drive up global oil prices, preferring to burn up his own political fortunes in order to favor Bibi and the Israelis. Which, again, doesn't make any sense.
If you want to make a general claim that because a ton of money is spent on lobbying and campaign donations on behalf of Israel in federal elections, issues of concern to Israel receive more solicitous reception than those of countries who don't similarly engage in such lobbying and donations....of course! They spend almost as much as the crypto PAC. But that's very different from the specific assertion that Donald Trump wants to war to be going badly, destroying his political capital and alienating the wealthy Gulf States that have personally enriched him.
"Israel has influence due to lobbying" does not equal "Israel secretly controls Trump."
