Saying Israel “owns,” “controls,” or “puppets” the US is antisemitic, and saying Saudi Arabia “owns,” “controls,” or “puppets” the US is racist. The US is not a benevolent actor whose mission is being corrupted by sinister Middle Eastern countries. The US is a hegemonic power that uses strategic alliances in the Middle East to maintain its global dominance.

And like, the US is being run by people who are passionately racist and antisemitic (with an opposition which is low-key racist and antisemitic or just doesn’t care as long as the people being hurt are foreigners) and the US is strategically using Israel and Saudi Arabia to pursue its own military interests. If the US no longer had strong military interests in those regions, it would drop both countries so fast.
