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.
