The US government’s unconditional support for Israel despite alleged differences of opinion between the two sides is leading the world to believe that Tel Aviv has become the new capital of the United States, an American political analyst says.

An investigation by an Israeli daily revealed on Monday that US donors have channeled over 200 million dollars into Israeli illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank, Palestine, in recent years.

The surprising report came despite US Secretary of State John Kerry’s recent warnings against continued settlement construction and other Israeli policies in the West Bank. Kerry said these activities are bound to endanger the Tel Aviv regime itself.

“This is a violation of international law and the United States which claims to be critical of these illegal settlements is allowing these kinds of private subsides to go unabated,” Mark Dankof, a former US Senate candidate told Press TV on Tuesday.

Dankof noted that nearly half a million settlers are living in more than 100 settlements with private funding from the US, which is causing uncontrollable problems.

“It is clear that the magnitude of this problem is totally out of control, especially when you consider that this money that we are speaking about is private money,” he added. “That is bad enough.”

Referring to Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territories and also the ongoing conflict in Syria, the analyst noted that Israel’s thirst for new settlements combined with US taxpayer money are worsening the situation.

Dankof added that the US is now paying as much as $10 billion to Israel in annual military and non-military aid.

“That is all public money being conscripted from Americans for this purpose on top of these outrageous private donorship situations,” he noted.

Billionaire Zionist sympathizers in the US are spending their money to buy American politicians and engineer more elections in the country in favor of the Israeli agenda, the analyst added.

He mentioned people such as “Sheldon Adelson in the Republican Party, Haim Saban in the Democratic Party, the hedge-found operator Paul Singer” as examples for this scheme.

“They are buying American presidential elections, they own all of the major candidates vying to replace Barack Obama,” Dankof noted.

“When you look at the United States House and Senate, Israel owns most of the key people,” he said.

The analyst said considering the overwhelming number of Israeli-leaned politicians in the US and the number of their agents within the ranks of different military and intelligence agencies, it is safe to say that “the true capital of the US is not in Washington, DC, it is in Tel Aviv, Israel.”

“There is an ongoing tragedy that is unfolding; it is going to affect every man, woman and child on this planet and the chief enabler of all of these Zionist crimes, I am sad to say, is the United States of America,” Dankof concluded.
