There not even being vague about it.

“WE ENCOURAGE the U.S. government to enact specific policies that create a strong, enduring and mutually beneficial relationship with our ally Israel.”

How is that not foreign election interference?

At what point can we just call it and say the USA is an asset of Israel?

Israel does not own the US, the US allows AIPAC to exist to maintain its own interest among congresspeople (etc.). Only one of them is existentially dependent on their working together, and it's not the US (though the US massively benefits).

The US and Israel are part of the same joint imperial project.

Do you think AIPAC can operate without permission?

Nah, Israel is just the 51st state. It is part of the USA by this point. It just wants preferential treatment.

We fund Israel so much more than any other state. Imagine if all that money went towards public infrastructure in the US instead
