So called Israel is obviously America’s minion, the one who takes blame for doing whatever they’re told to do

I think the tail wags the dog here. Although of course many Americans are onboard.

Why do they routinely do exactly what we ask them not to.

The “everybody is Americas minion” is some hilarious nonsense, as if the USA is that competent and powerful. Come on, have you ever worked for the feds?
