The US and Israel are both part of the same imperial project. Israel is the US's unsinkable aircraft carrier in the Middle East and its laboratory for surveillance and occupation and the US is Israel's arms depot and money spigot, it's a mutual relationship that both countries benefit from.

The US doesn't control Israel, Israel doesn't control the US, they're just partners working towards a mutual goal of settler occupation.
