capitulate our sovereignty repeatedly to do the bidding of Israel. What hold does such a small country have over the wealthiest and most powerful nation in history?

BTW: From Google AI;

Almost all U.S. financial aid to Israel is used to purchase American-built weapons and defense services....the U.S. provides $3.8 billion per year in military aid, with the vast majority earmarked for procurement from U.S. defense contractors.

Military aid for Israel is a method for congress to subsidise the defense industry, which employs over 2 million Americans.
