Not single-handedly, but they are enormous trading partners and lobby the US in the billions, that's not far-fetched. B'nai Brith is a perfect example. I have Jewish friends that can discuss this issue more rationally than you, Zionist goof B'nai Brith even sues rabbis for being critical of Palestinians rights and IDF conduct:

Well, that nuance is not present in your original post. Criticism of Israel and Israeli lobbying groups is perfectly fine, so long as you're specific in your criticisms and you avoid hyperbole and generalizations.
Your original phrasing is ambiguous and hyperbolic in a way that you could easily be referring to EITHER specific issues with certain Israeli lobbyist groups OR broad conspiracies about Jewish control of the US government. This same ambiguity is regularly used by anti-semites to disguise anti-semetic rhetoric as good faith criticism of the Israeli government.
You may have had the best of intentions, but this post reads like Nazi concern-trolling, and I'm not surprised that it got censored.
The groyper pfp may not be helping either.
Oh, absolutely. I was gonna mention that, but I knew he'd just whine about people judging him for his profile pic instead of his words or something like that.
Ugh. On irc I was NEVER banned and could speak freely. Fediverse is an imposter of a platform. Social media is a cancer and I'm tired of the left wing rainbow/Zionist concern troll brigades.
