The simple truth is there are a lot of zionists in powerful positions both in terms of governmental and monetary. Open wikipedia and look up cabinets and powerful people in US government since WW2. Pay attention to their ethnicity; even if half are zionists, that's a lot of people. Edit: people downvoting this, first part of the comment is just facts, second part is plausible speculation. Why are you downvoting?

No, you are putting words in my mouth and being very reductive. Majority of powerful people is not jewish nor zionist, but there is probably a lot of zionists amongst them. And no, not all jews are zionists, nor all jews are in powerful positions.

In addition, not all Zionists are Jews.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Zionism

> Christian Zionism is a political and religious ideology that, in a Christian context, espouses the return of the Jewish people to the Holy Land.[1] Likewise, it holds that the founding of the State of Israel in 1948 was in accordance with biblical prophecies transmitted through the Old Testament: that the re-establishment of Jewish sovereignty in the Levant—the eschatological "Gathering of Israel"—is a prerequisite for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.[1][2][3] The term began to be used in the mid-20th century, in place of Christian restorationism, as proponents of the ideology rallied behind Zionists in support of a Jewish national homeland.[1][4][5]

Again, straw man arguments through and through.

Zionists control the US, the US controls the money. The control of the US happened through decades of very savvy lobbying and a feedback loop involving foreign aid, campaign contributions, kickbacks, and investments in the military industrial complex. There is probably a very small portion of apocalyptic death cultists wanting to bring about Armageddon, but I doubt there are very many. The US has been the wealthiest and most powerful country in the world for a while, so it has quite a bit of ability to bully others through various means. Those means invariably end up being used to push government policy in many countries toward a pro-Zionist agenda. Unlike similar campaigns WRT Russia or China, nobody really trades with Palestine or has any non-political interest their existence so non-compliance is limited and often transient.
