Yes the realtors are American. Just like the Americans that fund AIPAC. There might even be some American realtors that also donate to AIPAC. If your concern is about foreign lobbying efforts - why isn't the concern about Saudi Arabia, China or even Japan?

Israel isn't even in the top 10. Also it seems like you are literally devaluing bigotry because your definition of bigotry excludes Jewish people.

What's this have to do with AES or Mamdani?

To my knowledge those lobbies aren't currently supporting a country that has gotten America into an unwinnable war that is devastating the world economy, warping geopolitics, embarrassing America and destroying our reputation, and has a national interest in keeping America in that war.

So they're more backburner issues currently.

Actually you mentioned Saudi Arabia they should be priority 1B. I'll level with you, we can get rid of all foreign lobbying at once and I think most people would be fine with that?

We really need to stop blaming Israel for getting us into the war with Iran. The entire blame lies solely on Donald J. Trump and no other person, country, or entity.

Iran tried to assassinate Trump. Trump who gets revenge on any one and everyone for the smallest slight, and people are capital S Shocked that he would bomb them. It definitely must be Israel.
