I don't get the aggression. The over-the-top defense of Israel seems so cartoonish. Politicians aren't this forceful defending their own communities. It seems so overt.
They are signaling to AIPAC. Insufficient enthusiasm in defense of Jews/Israel is reason enough to cancel campaign contributions and fund your opponent.
Like that question to all the mayoral candidates about which country they would visit first after winning. It was just an opportunity for all of them to signal allegiance to Jews/Israel. The only candidate who passed the test was the fucking communist.
Whatever the reasoning is, its important to them. They could cut anti-Jew awakenings by over half or more by just being less overt about it.
If they didn't clamp half as hard when people make jokes/memes or do interviews as awful as Cruz's, I'd wager most people wouldn't come around to hating them nearly as often.

Seems to me that it's the political version of the peacock's tail. Which serves no useful purpose, but was the result of an evolutionary arms race (let's not get into that issue, would hypothetically be if you don't accept it). When both candidates support Israel fully, you can distinguish yourself with "I support Israel fully and will also degrade myself by being a nutcase like this".
If they didn't clamp half as hard when people make jokes/memes
The memes/jokes are very stupid and overused though. It doesn't just target Israel, but Jews in general, and it boils down to "hey, another Jew doing something I don't like". Someone's Jewishness isn't brought up when he does something they don't mind. Pure confirmation bias.

Problem then being, degrading yourself in this manner makes you a less effective tool for their purposes. Out and about Israel shills are always fighting an uphill battle from many angles of people disagreeing with them, while those who keep it quieter (like most of our elites and Congress) can do a lot of the same work without obstruction.
But Humiliation Rituals seem to be important to all aspects of the American elite, Jewish or not. From frat boys to Bohemian Groves to "wear this dress Bill Clinton."

And we are all young, stupid, and poor at the game once. Most guys that start down this trail are doing it because they find it funny and edgy, and the response they get is so overblown compared to the rather milquetoast intent that it does more than any /pol/tard or stormfag every could trying to intentionally recruit.
I remember Bane once telling me "no one who ever uses the word Jap does so except to be a racist using a slur" (due to a century old history no one would remember unless you brought it up) when I used it entirely as a lazy abbreviation because its literally an abbreviation for Japanese. That has stuck with me over a decade now because of how retarded and overreactive it was, and its the same situation. And now I make sure to always use Jap.
Someone's Jewishness isn't brought up when he does something they don't mind
Stephen Miller is called a Jew every time he comes up despite being incredibly well liked and supported among the same people making those comments.
People do have a huge blind spot to rush to say "based" when they agree with it despite otherwise screaming to kill all of X group yesterday, but that's not unique to Jew. It happens with niggers and women daily around these types of parts.

I agree. Just like the peacock's tail makes him less effective. But it's a natural outgrowth of incentives. I guess that with increasing attention to the malignant role of such lobbying organizations, they will have to go less over-the-top.

Eh, that's a fair point. But on the other hand, there are such word that can reliably identify someone as something. I've never seen a non-Stormgent say "OY VEY" or "early life" in that way. It might be funny if done once. When it's done every single time by people who think they're very clever, it becomes a bit tiring, and if you recall, there was a blanket ban on "early life check" on the old subreddit. There's simply no need for people who want to make everything about Jews.

Maybe it's unique to Miller, but I certainly haven't noticed that. Part of it is that people don't go out of their way to 'prove' that someone is a Jew when they like what he does. And even when they can't prove it, they just post a picture and claim they can reliably tell...

That is what makes me think that contrary to their claims, they aren't as racist as they pretend to be.
That said, the slobbering over people is a bit annoying. If you recall Coleman Hughes, generic anti-woke people were falling over themselves to label him 'brilliant'. While he was certainly a smart kid, I wonder if that was just soft bigotry of low expectations - wow, this guy sure is smart for a black!

They don't get as many bribes from their own communities. Same goes for the arms industry.
Really puts into perspective the relative value of bribes/campaign contributions and votes.
