This is so vague that it could be interpreted to mean almost anything.

The morality of the meme was "You think Israel controls US when it is US who controls Israel". I say it's a very bold claim either way. They have aligned ideals but they can't be considered only as the tool of the other. Clearly if US were to stop funding Israel's plans they would not be able to fight as much, but US also benefit from Israel with weaponry, war engineering and intel.

It is not a bold claim. Israel was from the outset an European colonial project which gained support from the US and Britain to gain a satellite in West Asia, as its unsinkable aircraft carrier/missile platform. The huge amounts of "aid" that has been given to them from its inception should be ample proof (whomever pays for the band picks the music) but US politicians aren't shy about it either, as with Biden

Were there not an Israel the United States would have to invent an Israel
