Hizbullah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah said in an April 8, 2024 speech that was aired on Spot Shot Online (Lebanon) that the United States controls Israel, and not the other way around. He said that the Jewish or Zionist lobby in America is a "joke" invented by Arabs in order to provide an excuse for their financial ties with America. Nasrallah also said that these Arabs claim that they are creating an "Arab lobby" to compete with the Zionist lobby, but in fact, all they are doing is increasing the money in the American coffers.
Hassan Nasrallah: "The recent call from Biden [to Netanyahu] proves everything I said before. If the Americans want to stop something, they can make it stop. The claim that the Americans cannot force Israel to do something is nonsense.
"According to some theories, Israel controls America. No sir. It is America that controls Israel. The story about the Jewish and Zionist lobby is – forgive me for saying this – a joke invented by the Arabs so that they do not have to fight Israel. They do this so that they can go to America, deposit their money there, and establish relations with America, under the pretext that they are establishing an Arab lobby. After 75 years, we can see what came out of the Arab lobby. The Arab money is piling up in the American coffers, but that's it."
