Are you trying to make a “erm technically they don’t represent Israel 🤓” type of statement? It’s pretty obvious they are as close as you can get to bribery on behalf of a foreign nation

Foreign nationals are technically prohibited from making contributions in connection to elections. But you could make a friend who was a US citizen and you gave them a gift that was then used to fund AIPAC

That’s called a straw donor/conduit contribution, and that’s not a loophole, that’s illegal.

Do you truly believe in your right mind that even half of donations to AIPAC come from random Israelis “gifting” Americans money?

Hmm.. do I believe the morally bankrupt country is trying to corrupt the country that bankrolls it's existence. No shit? Obviously it's not random Israeli’s. It's the government
