“There’s a bad predicate to your question. AIPAC does not receive any foreign funding, from nations or individuals.”
“I really can’t find that predicate in my post”
Right here:
“ Can you name another nation that has lobbyist groups”
“ Do these countries allow lobbyist for the United States into their government councils? I bet they don’t.”
Just sticking with Israel, yes it does. They are currently authorized by the Lobbyist Law of 2008.
I know this because I actually had to register because I worked for an American oil company (in a technical position) and met with Israeli government officials regarding a drilling concession. Had to wear a lanyard when I was in the Knesset or a government building.
In Israel, it’s mainly defense contractors either looking to sell, or, more often looking to buy, restricted Israeli technology, generally related to drones (the Reaper, in particular, is heavily dependent on Israeli tech). But also things like the helmet targeting systems for F35s and F22s.
“ Can you name another nation that has lobbyist groups”
I see where you get that. But in my mind there are countless lobbyists in Washington that do not get government support from any government. You probably did not get Federal government support while in Israel.
