The right course for us is to let the entire world know we will stay with them, and support them and defend them
My policy is the US will always have Israel's back...
...and you know what Mr. President, I think they are right, we are you, and you are us, we're together
AIPAC’s staff and citizen activists educate decision makers about the bonds that unite the United States and Israel and how it is in America’s best interest to help ensure that the Jewish state is safe, strong and secure.
Cooperation between the two countries is advantageous for both nations. AIPAC urges all members of Congress to support Israel through foreign aid,
4 years ago I stood before you and said Israel's security is sacrament, that belief has guided my actions as president...despite a tough budget our security assistance (your tax money) has increased each year...we will always reject the notion that Zionism is racism...there should not be a shred of doubt now, when the chips are down, I have Israel's back...there is no doubt anywhere around the world that the US will insist on Israel's security and legitimacy...
To propose war against a country (Iran) even though it's intelligence services admit does not have a nuclear weapon, in service of a country that has hundreds of Nuclear Weapons (Israel subject to no international regulation)
We shouldn't follow Israel (in attacking Iran) we should be leading it!
...Too much for Israel interests...they are strong, they are controlling many things...newspapers, media, banks, finance, and I'm going to stop there...
Will Barack Obama strike Iran -- or agree to an Israeli strike -- to stop the Iranian nuclear program? . He's trending in a very different direction: Toward negotiations, inducements and a very limited definition of success.
Don't say you weren't warned.

lol... I'm pretty sure it's America that dictates policy to Israel not vice versa... Israel doesn't have the means to dictate policy to the US and the US doesn't have anything to gain from doing what Israel wants. Israel is a US proxy state.

And pretty much for the last 30 years US presidents talk positive about Britain and its special relationship, NATO and Japan. Obviously those countries control the US as well. Does it have a factor in internal US politics? Yes it does but it be hard to conflate factor into control. It doesn't control the US and that can be seen in all the times the two countries went different ways, starting with the Suez Canal, the last Arab war in which we started to get angry at them for almost causing World War 3, and the current hostility between the Obama Administration and the current guys running Israel.
