Chinese media: US supports Israel because of wealthy Jews; Israel slams “blatant antisemitism"

Israel is a US military proxy, which enjoys American support because of the influence of wealthy Jews, Chinese government-affiliated English-language news channel CGTN claimed in a video posted online on Tuesday.In a video titled “Why does the US act as a diplomatic shield for Israel?” presenter Zheng Junfeng floated a version of the theory, found in The Protocols of the Elders of Zion and other antisemitic tracts, that Jews control government policies by nefarious means.

The video opened by describing China’s anger with the US for blocking a UN Security Council resolution against Israel this week, and questioning why successive US presidents have supported Israel.“Some people believe that US pro-Israel policy is traceable to the influence of wealthy Jews in the US and the Jewish lobby on US foreign policymakers,” Zheng said.

The CGTN presenter said there are “over five million Jewish people in the US” and that 18 of the top 40 people on the Forbes Rich List are Jewish. There are, in fact, over seven million Jewish people in the US, and eight of Forbes’ top 40 richest people are Jewish, by The Jerusalem Post’s count. Also, the Forbes list is of billionaires around the world, and not just in the US. The discrepancy may be an apparent attempt to make Jewish influence seem even more disproportionate, and therefore ill-begotten.“Jews dominate finance, media, and Internet sectors,” Zheng added. “So, do they have powerful lobbies like some say? Possibly.”

Zheng then reversed his theory, and posited that Israel is an American puppet.“The US [has] used Israel as an instrument for advancing geopolitical interest in the Middle East since the 1960s,” he stated.The CGTN presenter described the 1967 Six Day War as follows: “The self-proclaimed Jewish state defeated Arab nationalism in the June war. Arab nationalism is the idea that the Middle East should exist for Arabs, not Jewish settlers and US oil companies.“Apparently the US did not like that idea,” he added, “and Israel did a great service to Washington and US oil interests. Ever since then, Israel has become a US beachhead.”Zheng claimed that Israel “functioned as a US proxy when [the] Pentagon was constrained by US law.”The video was tweeted by CGTN, which has 13.5 million Twitter followers.
