". . . emphasizing that it's important the US "stay out of" the upcoming Israeli election."

Silly Israeli goose bitching about the gander doing what the goose does.

Israel doesn't stay out of our elections and the day the polls close for one election AIPAC and all the other political groups that put our relations with Israel above all else start fund raising for the next one. Perhaps Lapid could lead by example and get all the Israeli lobbyists the Hell out of US politics before emphasizing anything about our behavior.

You mean, US citizens cannot lobby the US government on behalf of Israel, or form PACs like AIPAC? And let’s suppose that they fund raise in order to put US relations with Israel above all else? Legislators get lobbied by lobbyists representing all sorts of interests, both foreign and domestic, and hopefully they have the integrity and judgment to balance those lobbyists’ promises, threats and arguments against the interests of their respective districts, states and the country at large. If they do not, the fault is with the legislator, not the lobbyist, who is merely doing his job. Same thing occurs in Israel, and the same answer applies to our legislators. It’s how the world works.
