DrALJONESNo need to wonder which partner is in charge. Israel is Washington’s most favoured client state, but it *has* to operate within parameters laid down by the US.
At the same time, Israel influences "those parameters in its own interests, chiefly by shaping military, political & cultural discourse in the US through the many levers available to it."
At any given time, just ask which particular interests are prevailing.
