I'm no fan of Netanyahu, but he does not dictate U.S policy. He may advocate for a particular position, as all national leaders do, but the final decision rests with Potus. The idea that the prime minister of tiny Israel controls the leader of the most powerful nation in history is ludicrous, even if that leader is a petty and ignorant man-child. This cartoon and the meme it represents is just a variation on an ancient stereotype; that Jews run the world.
