Did the U.S. get suckered into WWI by German Zionists?

While doing a search for evildoer Paul Warburg, I came upon this very interesting video by chance and submitted it to digg and figured I'd share it here as well:

Description: "Benjamin Freedman, a Jewish defector and well-connected wealthy businessman, in a 1961 speech describes how Germany won the war after 2 years and offered a peace treaty, but German Zionists proposed to London that they would bring the US into the war as England's ally to ensure victory in exchange for Palestinian territory. "
my digg comment:
I have known how the financial elite stood to benefit from U.S. involvement in the war, but the arrangement to have Palestinian territory handed over to Zionists after WWII is something new to me. The actual act that drew America into the war was the sinking of the Lusitania, which the German Embassy clearly warned against in a newspaper advertisement:

but this warning was ignored and we now know w/o a doubt that the Lusitania was transporting arms:

into enemy territory.
In the chapter "Sink the Lusitania!" in his book 'The Creature From Jekyll Island', G. Edward Griffin wrote:
"The British knew that to draw the United States into the war would mean the difference between defeat and victory, and anything that could accomplish that was proper - even the coldly calculated sacrifice of one of her great ships with Englishmen aboard. But the trick was to have Americans on board also in order to create the proper emotional climate in the United States. As the Lusitania moved into hostile waters, where a German U-boat was known to be operating, First Lord of Admiralty, Winston Churchill, ordered her destroyer protection to abandon her. This, plus the fact that she had been ordered to travel at reduced speed, made her an easy target. After the impact of one well placed torpedo, a mighty second explosion from within ripped her apart, and the ship that many believed could not be sunk, gurgled to the bottom in less than eighteen minutes"

For years I've pondered over the authenticity of the Zimmermann note. Obviously, it surfaced after a series of battles in which little side had made any significant gains in combat. Bringing the US onboard, however, would have seemed very appealing to a British aristocracy that were determined to remove the Ottoman Turks, who had been a major thorn in the Brits' sides for decades, from power (i.e. the Barbary Pirates). Also, why exactly would Germany want to enlist Mexico to strike the US when America was neutral in the conflict. It makes almost no sense whatsoever from a strategic point of view.

The Rothchild family had shown support for the formation of a state of Israel before WWI. But like you said, the Turks were blocking their entrance into the Middle East. Not to mention all the oil reserves (Anglo-American oil). The point is, I wouldn't put it past the house of Rothchild to slaughter 40 million people for their own financial and political gain.

The Zimmerman Note was only produced because the British controlled the telegraph lines stretching across the Atlantic. Thus, it was easy to intercept a communication like this to Mexico.

Don't forget there were more ships sunk than the Lusitania before and after the Zimmerman note. It was British seapower that basically let us only trade with Britain, undermining the premise of neutrality. Germany had no option but to hit at us with their subs. In that regard, the Zimmerman Note was not the only nail in the coffin.

Anyway, the British invaded Palestine insofar as that was already a front in the war. The Germans had helped the Ottomans attempt to invade Egypt, which Britain had made a protectorate under the puppet grandson of Muhammed Ali(not the boxer). However, the surprise attack stalled at the Suez Canal, and the Ottoman forces were eventually routed.
