[unable to retrieve full-text content]In this interview, economists Michael Hudson and Richard Wolff discuss the U.S.'s influence on Israel and the broader Middle East, arguing that America's actions undermine the sovereignty of other nations. They assert that the U.S. uses Israel as a tool to maintain control over the region, particularly its oil resources, and prevent countries like Iraq and Libya from achieving true independence. They also highlight the selective use of "sovereignty" in global politics, pointing out that while Palestine is denied recognition, Israel operates with American military and financial backing. Hudson and Wolff further compare Israel’s settler-colonialism to historic land grabs, suggesting parallels with Nazi Germany’s Lebensraum and criticizing Western media
