[I haven't looked at this question for a year or two and was never an
expert in the field, so I may be off a little here and there. I will
appreciate well-intentioned corrections. We certainly want to get this
right. So, we'll make amendments as we go along]
No, Z, AIPAC in particular is very different from the Muslim Oil
Lobby. The latter is a lobby or a collection of lobbies for foreign
countries, paid for by those foreign countries, and registered and
regulated as such. It must periodically report its activities to the
responsible agency and also must scrupulously avoid meddling in US
elections, e.g., it commits a crime when it injects money into the
election process or, directly or indirectly, threatens or pays-off
legislators with campaign contributions or in any other fashion.
Yet these are things done by AIPAC and its associated PACs routinely
on behalf of Israel, a country just as foreign as any other and one
whose national interests are just as different from America's as any
other. The result has been the corruption of the decision-making
process in Congress and in the executive too.
Aipac, the Congressional epicenter of the Irael lobby, is a DOMESTIC
organization working exclusively for a foreign country. It consists of
Americans, though some are of dual American/Israeli nationality, and
utilizes American, not Israeli, money. It is notorious, however, for
doing whatever the Israeli government wants. Yet the lobbying law
registration requirements, prohibitions and sanctions are deemed not
to apply to lobbying and electioneering for that particular foreign
country simply because of the domestic source of the money. Thus this
foreign country, Israel, gets both political access and American
election participation rights by proxy, which other countries are
denied. If we are to run our own affairs and do it democratically,
this is obviously not in the American national interest.
I don't know if the legitimacy of this arrangement has been tested in
the federal courts, but if not it should be. The evil addressed,
foreign influence corrupting the generation of American policy, ought
to trump the mere source of the money. I also don't see why Americans,
especially Americans with blatantly obvious conflicts of interest,
should not be forbidden to fund lobbies which are objectively for
foreign countries. Foreign agendas should not be incorporated into
American policy through loopholes such as this, especially not into
American FOREIGN policy which involves matters of war and peace and
vast expenditures of blood, treasure and anguish for the public who
bear these burdens.
LOL! The implication being that you're an expert with regard to
Israel, you, the scholar who thought that Lebanon was part of the
Occupied Territories and who didn't know that Arabs rejected
partition. You who
are so pathetic you have to lie about books about Israel that you've
read. The only thing you're expert at is buffoonery.
Not in regard to Israel, idiot. In regard to the federal law
regulating lobbying on behalf of foreign powers. Wake up, Ratner.

All lies, Ratner. I disproved all of that but you just pretend it
didn't happen and repeat the lie. You and Deb are displaying deep
anger and depression recently. Maybe if I just ignore you, you'll
recover. Yes, that's probably the merciful thing for me to do.
Why didn't you respond to my post, old girl. Could it be because it's
something you could never write, something you probably can't even
understand? Yes, I think so.

Ah, so what you are saying is that you see illegality where people in
official positions do not. Yes, of course, alzheimic deluisions of
grandeur.

More delusions, but these are gonna cost you. You will again be proven
a liar. Here's what you said:

Here's a newsflash for you, you friggin' ignoramus. LEBANON AND GAZA
ARE NOT OCCUPIED TERRITORIES.

We'll just leave it to the group to determine whether I lied when I
said above that you thought Lebanon was part of the OT's.
Regarding partition, I beg your pardon. I remembered that you denied
that the arabs rejected partition. I was wrong - it was over a year
ago. Your exact words were the equally clueless:
"Israel had a chance to abide by the terms of the 1947 partition and
chose not to."

I think that oughta cemevt your "expert" status regarding any aspect
of Israel or its history.
And below we have usenet's greatest masturbator pleasuring himself in
fantasy about Deb and me. Time for me to leave this cretin alone with
his "thoughts".

Make that "off a lot, and all over the place," and we would have had a
rare instance of Hunter Watson being honest.
