To be clear: I agree with the general anti-war attitude and I've never supported any decision the US has made to go to war in my lifetime. I think the US alliance with Saudi Arabia is disgraceful and I am an anti-Zionist.
But the comments on that video paint Israel not as a shameful alliance or a settler-colonial state but as an entity conspiratorially pulling the strings whenever the US is involved in a war elsewhere. It's not a substantive or veridical critique, and it would be alarming if that were in fact the predominant critique of US involvement in wars overseas as GP insinuates.

Israel definitely has some say in US foreign policy through their pull with the religious right and the influential pro-Israel lobby.
