The tail does not wag the dog. Israel has some counter-influence, but is ultimately a puppet state for the US Empire.
They got a whole hell of a lot more than "some" and your metaphor is ridiculously over simplified and not applicable
No, they don't have nearly as much influence as you think. The US Empire is massive and supports Israel because of its utility in securing its interests, not because of Israeli influence.
