Capital and also, PURELY IMO, I've gotten an increasing sense over the last few years that there's a lot of overlap between the two governments just in terms of people and personal ties.
Like it almost feels more correct to start from the assumption the US/isreal are, functionally, the same organization and and then to delineate differences from there. Not really a who-controls-who thing because that starts from the position there's a lot of separation.
I don't think that'd really reach a liberal either because their mindset of national identity might as well be as tangible as the earth and sun to a lot of them but that's just the thought I had thinking about the thread/topic.
Also hard to parse because you get into conspiracy territory. Just because two powerful people know each other doesn't mean there's a power dynamic, they could be buddies, they could just like helping each other. Networking and converging interests can make two people with huge mansions pull some moves together.
None of this is at you specifically btw. Your comment just got my hamsters running. Reminded me there's a certain kind of casual banality to all of this stuff because of how power, capital and money scales etc.
Same as it ever was
