What I mean by proxy state is that Israel is effectively treated as an extension of the US. No other country enjoys such unconstitutionally explicit protection with laws on the books for the majority of states [0]. A Florida congressperson wore their IDF uniform to the US capitol, acting in their official capacity [1].
Virtually unconditional support is provided on the global stage, and clearly, we are comfortable with starting another regional war. But saying we're "stuck with what Israel decides to do" sounds a bit fatalistic, no?
