It’s not, it’s funded by rich Americans and dual-citizens, many of them just conservatives using it as a vessel to interfere in Democratic politics. The people running it may be effectively working for Israel, but the funding has to come from Americans in some form.
the people who call out criticism of AIPAC antisemitism are the true antisemites engaging in the antisemitic trope of equating all Jewish people with the genocidal actions of a fascist apartheid regime
There, fixed your ridiculous strawman to reflect my ACTUAL claim.
Lol, you have shown your true colors and I won’t be engaging any further
Good. Less genocide apologia and false accusations for me to refute.
You equated Jews in general with the Israeli government agency AIPAC, accusing me of antisemitism based on my factual criticism of AIPAC. That’s basically the same thing.
Weren’t you going to stop engaging, though? I guess you were lying about that too 🤷
That’s who has to register as foreign agents. The lobbyists. Because it’s about tracking foreign influence in the government. You could donate money to the British royal family today, that doesn’t make you a foreign agent.
So you entered a conversation by pretending I said something I didn’t and when told thats what you were doing, you decided that meant I don’t know what lobbying meant.
It’s good to see you are up to the same bad faith tricks you have been since I arrived here, June of last year. Never change, my friend, though that goes without saying, since you clearly never intend to.
If you scroll up you will see the other person referred to AIPAC as the Israeli government and claimed they were funding the whole operation.
I pointed out that what they were saying was incorrect. It appears you and i are in agreement here and your comment was meant for the person you thought you were defending.
AIPAC isn’t a foreign government.
It is 100% finance by Israel and last time I checked they are so my comment stands.
It is 100% financed by Israel?
Just to confirm, you are staying that the nation of Israel pays for all of it, and not the 3 million plus Americans who are members?
If that’s what you are saying than I have to respond by saying, “you are lying, you have never looked this up.”
It’s not, it’s funded by rich Americans and dual-citizens, many of them just conservatives using it as a vessel to interfere in Democratic politics. The people running it may be effectively working for Israel, but the funding has to come from Americans in some form.

It’s a legally distinct but de facto integrated part of the Israeli government. Anyone claiming otherwise is ignorant, delusional, or dishonest.
Do you realize that you are accusing 3 million American citizens who are all Jews, of being Israeli government agents?
Do you see how that comes off to people who are not already in your bubble?
I am not, no. I am correctly pointing out that AIPAC is a de facto Israeli government agency which has support from both Jewish and gentile Zionists.
You’re the only one conflating Jewdom and Zionism. Which is ACTUALLY antisemitic.
Do YOU see how THAT comes off to people who are not already in YOUR bubble?
Ahh, yes, the people who call out antisemitism and incorrect statements are the true antisemites.
Lol, you have shown your true colors and I won’t be engaging any further.
There, fixed your ridiculous strawman to reflect my ACTUAL claim.
Good. Less genocide apologia and false accusations for me to refute.
I never equated all Jews with Israel.
But please, feel free to continue lying. With practice you may actually eventually get good at it.
Ron Howard voice but they did
Ron Howard voice but they had
Please provide the text of my saying all jews are equated with Israel.
You equated Jews in general with the Israeli government agency AIPAC, accusing me of antisemitism based on my factual criticism of AIPAC. That’s basically the same thing.
Weren’t you going to stop engaging, though? I guess you were lying about that too 🤷
You think I am a supporter of AIPAC just because I corrected a factually incorrect statement?
Oh lord, you are not bright.
AIPAC does not have 3 million lobbyists and they aren’t all Jews. Stop being sensational.
I didn’t say AIPAC had 3 million lobbyists.
If all you guys can do is purposefully misconstrue everything your opposition says, it probably means you are wrong.
That’s who has to register as foreign agents. The lobbyists. Because it’s about tracking foreign influence in the government. You could donate money to the British royal family today, that doesn’t make you a foreign agent.
Do you get it yet?
So you entered a conversation by pretending I said something I didn’t and when told thats what you were doing, you decided that meant I don’t know what lobbying meant.
It’s good to see you are up to the same bad faith tricks you have been since I arrived here, June of last year. Never change, my friend, though that goes without saying, since you clearly never intend to.
This was you yeah?
I understand the confusion now.
If you scroll up you will see the other person referred to AIPAC as the Israeli government and claimed they were funding the whole operation.
I pointed out that what they were saying was incorrect. It appears you and i are in agreement here and your comment was meant for the person you thought you were defending.
I would also point out that the 3 million members of AIPAC are not donating to Israel, they are donating to AIPAC.
Unless a lobby group has been sanctioned, all Americans can donate to whatever PAC they see fit. That’s called the first amendment.
I never said they couldn’t donate to it. That doesn’t make it any more American.
The laws of the US state that money is speech and Americans are allowed to use their speech to support political causes.
But if the argument is that 3 million American Jews aren’t American enough, I am going to hold your feet to the fire on that.
