“ 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.

AIPAC doesn’t get Israeli government support.

Now, anti-Israeli lobby groups (from Qatar, Saudi, Kuwait) absolutely get government money. Quite open about it.

Again, AIPAC does not get Israeli funding.

It is funded by private American citizens.
