American journalism is now officially a captive of Israel.

I wouldn't say that American journalism is captive of Israel, as that sounds as if you're saying the Jewish Israeli state is controlling the US, when it is the other way around. Israel is the imperial arm of the US, and the US controls it. They clamp down on criticisms of Israel so much due to how much the US benefits from their existence. As Joe Biden once said roughly, "If there wasn't an Israel in the middle east we would've made one ourselves." They protect US capital interests in the region and act as a means for us to interfere and destabilize countries that produce oil and can affect US oil industry. The first step of protecting US interests is to shut down speech against our imperial arm, then they'll start shutting down speech on every facet of American imperialism. Israel should be criticized, but we would still exist as a country without them, but they wouldn't be able to survive as they are without the US. Not to say they would be geocided (that's zionist and antisemtic talking points) but they would fall like the South African apartheid.

Third option that makes the most sense to me: we’ve ultimately both got the same masters.

From what I see about people losing their visas that professor is right about not being able to protect them.
