Israel also notably has close ties with the American business community, with some calling them "start up nation".

Plenty of examples wrapped up in a short well sourced tweet. Enjoy.

I think the article is probably just pro Palestinian, but the fact that it's examining only propaganda on one side and not the other, even though there will be the same kind of operation on both sides because there always is, make s me also a bit suspicious of it.

I can understand that it might seem like an attack on Israel itself, and that an attack on Israel might actually be the intended purpose of the reporting, but it's hard for me to prioritize that over the importance of honest reporting of this sort. It's journalism that is informative and relevant, and that seems to be angering powerful people. I would like a companion peace on the propaganda war from "the other side", but this is the only one available to me at the moment. Fostering an environment in which this sort of journalism can safely be done is critical.

The Holocaust and Hitler basically define modern Western morality, and Zionism's claims to legitimacy are closely related to those concepts. Associating someone with "Hitler" or "antisemitic" is worse than calling them "bin Laden" or "slavemaster".

Other popular foreign lobbies in Washington, from Ukrainian, Taiwanese, Kurds, Uyghurs, don't have nearly the same influence.

There is no better-coordinated or -funded lobbying group than the military-industrial complex, which is, of course, all in on Israel.
