This is a non-sequitur. It's an "American" organization whose sole purpose is to lobby the US government on behalf of the interests of a foreign government. It should register as a foreign agent as should all its employees because that's exactly how they behave and why they exist.

- throwaway534634 3mo agoNah. I like not to ruin my future by criticizing Israel online.
- toasty228 3mo agoI mean, you could just like not go though the trouble of creating a throwaway account to praise them you know... I wonder who would benefit from spending such time and effort for so little...
- throwaway534634 3mo agoTo get back to my original comment: you do realize what "fifth column" is, right?
- woodruffw 3mo agoI agree that AIPAC may qualify as a foreign agent. But in that case, there are ~hundreds of domestic foreign lobby nonprofits in the US that are effectively unregistered foreign agents; just about every ethnic group in the US has one. (More generally, I think the idea of a "foreign agent" that isn't actively and clearly sabotaging a country is a jingoistic boogeyman. But we should avoid the appearance of special pleading if we're going to call AIPAC one.)
