Re "The monopoly that Israel holds on US foreign policy comes before the Israel Lobby, not after it".
From what I can tell, it's roots date to 1843 and B'nai B'rith's establishment in New York city.
However, it was not until the 1913 trial of Leo Frank that the the American Jewish 'businessmen' who formed and funded the American Defense League that defended him, came to prominence.
Leo was convicted and sentenced to death but the controversy erupted when Gov. Slaton subsequently and unexpectedly commuted his sentence to life imprisonment
Leo was well connected as the Atlanta chapter B'nai B'rith President.
Author Whitney Webb's "One Nation Under Blackmail" traces the origin of this intricate network that she calls the National Crime Syndicate, which was in it's infancy then.
Of note is the campaign funding and support network for FDR when he first entered politics as senator, then Governor and subsequently President, came from the same 'business' community.
Regarding the period between WW2 to 1979, it'd be good to be aware of the dog that didn't bark, as especially that period of recorded history was scrubbed and sanitized into what we generally accept as true today.
Historian and American Media data base creator Ron Unz, offers a verifiable and valuable alternative view for that.
Government efficiency demands it! We need to find out what the market price for 1) starting a new war or 2) ending an existing war, is. Cheers Youlian.
I gave up NC for Lent so I'm glad for the opportunity to read your excellent piece here!
The instructive approach provides evidence which leads up to your belief in the US being the ultimate arbiter on all things Israeli, which I concur with. Many writers take what might be called a lawyer's approach, taking preferred facts/guesses to build a personal case leading to a conclusion. You instead lay out all the facts which you feel justifies it. Thank you!
Mark Sleboda laid out his thoughts regarding Iran's (lack of) defensive weaponry and his surprise at it, making the case that essentially Iran chose to trust the US to do what was right, comparing it to Putin making the same mistake in the past. Should they come to their senses and accept the help, possibly peace will remain long enough to integrate S-400's and electronic warfare into their systems.
IIRC Iran stockpiled its processed uranium because the 2016 sanctions prevented it from exporting it.
Every mafia mob boss has their money-men backers. Trump is no different.
Biden said that if Israel didn't exist they would have to invent it. His memory was poor, they already had.
As the money men of the declining British empire would have said about the US. They already had.
Nothing much has changed in 200 years.

Hopefully this will go some way to answering what came before Israel's monopoly on US foreign policy.
Cheers
Thank you Wildsilver.
Yes, yes, where is the free market when one needs it??? If us politicians are for sale, the sale should be open to all and sundry...
