"How many congressmen are dual citizens with Israeli citizenship" By this do you mean Jews? Should be prevent Jewish people from being allowed in congress? "AIPAC is allowed to exist" Should we prevent it from existing becuase it supports a Jewish state? You have no issue with the hundreds of other lobbying groups, just the jewish one.

It's not Jewish, it's pro-Israel (American Israel Public Affair Committee). Israel is a foreign country whose interests might be conflicting with those of the US. That's different, don't you think?

  you going to ignore OP's mention of "Dual Citizens" clearly meaning Jews? Odd that people are only concerned with AIPAC and not the other foreign PACS. Wonder what the differentiating factor is? https://www.opensecrets.org/political-action-committees-pacs/foreign-connected-pacs/2022 https://www.opensecrets.org/political-action-committees-pacs...

    > OP's mention of "Dual Citizens" clearly meaning Jews "Dual citizens" clearly means "dual citizens". If the OP had the information that many Jews in Congress were dual citizens, he was wrong- although in fairness it's an understandable false belief when you have US politicians coming to Congress wearing their IDF uniform or propose laws to give IDF veterans the same benefits that US veterans receive. > concerned with AIPAC and not the other foreign PACS. Wonder what the differentiating factor is? Just look at the the first PAC in the list you mentioned: it's Accenture. Classified as foreign because their headquarter is in an empty office of a tax haven. AIPAC is not even in this list: it's in the "ideology/ single issue" list, where it stands as the only pro-<some country> PAC in the list (and the 4th largest). https://www.opensecrets.org/political-action-committees-pacs/industry-detail/Q/2024 https://www.opensecrets.org/political-action-committees-pacs...
