You personally, and I personally. If you are going to pass such judgment on Jews as a people by endorsing the kind of view in this OP, you better be prepared to take blame yourself. The amount of bloodshed we are responsible for is exponentially greater than that shed by Israelis.
It doesn't work to make it about "corporations" when it comes to the US and then blame Jews as a people for policy in Israel. If it is going to go beyond national policy for them, it applies to you and I as well, every last one of us who pays the tax dollars and reaps the benefits-- because we do reap benefits. We are richer and more comfortable than most of the world's population and those wars help sustain that standard of living, add to that the incredible labor exploitation around the world that goes to maintain our comfort.

I'm sorry but it was your contention that it wasn't hidden for the word Zionist

No, but comparisons to past evils are justified when current evils are committed
