How many of those countries openly lobby politicians in USA though?


Every single one.


Do you’ve proof for that? On the other hand, AIPAC is out there for anyone to see

Why would it? We have lots of friends of X groups that don’t need to.

The strongest own goal Israel’s political opponents in America play against themselves is in pretending this is entirely a conspiracy. It’s not. Until recently, Israel was popular. Against the background of few voters caring about foreign policy at all, that meant small margins were foreign-policywise meaningful while continuing to be electorally irrelevant.
