Looks like a bunch of antisemites and racists found the video and hit it with their comments at once. The further down the page you get, the more concentrated it becomes, presumably because the more mask-off stuff is less ambiguous and appeals to a narrower audience. But anyhow, it goes from tongue-in-cheek jokes to SJWs to eventually anecdotes about unspecified 'subhumans' as you scroll down.
Given the fact that this is your only post and you have 'anon' in your name, I doubt you posted the link in good faith. The function of your comment, either way, is to direct attention to the views of those trolls and paint them as some kind of 'voice of a generation'. Pretty transparent. You're not subtle.

Not too sure about that. Seems like a positive sign that people are not putting up with all the BS surrounding Israel anymore. This is what gives me a shred of hope: that thanks to the internet, people are questioning existing alliances and asking why? In the distant future as terrible states such as Israel and Saudi Arabia continue to fail to rehabilitate their image my hope is that the tides will change in Western leadership in how they tolerate these states. They clearly do not practice western ideals so it makes no sense to waste, money, lives, and political reputation on them.
To be clear: I agree with the general anti-war attitude and I've never supported any decision the US has made to go to war in my lifetime. I think the US alliance with Saudi Arabia is disgraceful and I am an anti-Zionist.
But the comments on that video paint Israel not as a shameful alliance or a settler-colonial state but as an entity conspiratorially pulling the strings whenever the US is involved in a war elsewhere. It's not a substantive or veridical critique, and it would be alarming if that were in fact the predominant critique of US involvement in wars overseas as GP insinuates.

Israel definitely has some say in US foreign policy through their pull with the religious right and the influential pro-Israel lobby.
