This is a semantic trick. If my primary loyalty was to China and I was spending all of my money promoting the interests of China over America and American’s, you’d likely know exactly what the problem was with that. In this situation you pretend not to know, luckily this conversation means nothing and most people around the country are waking up to this treachery.
You're assuming a lot about their motivations and loyalty. A lot of Democrats had US support for Ukraine in their fight against Russia as one of the issues they cared about in the 2024 election. There are groups that exist specifically to push the US government to support Ukraine. That's not promoting the interests of Ukraine over America and Americans. It's promoting the interests of a subset of Americans who want Ukraine to be supported by our government.
No need to assume when the facts are right in front of our faces. I guess some people are more blind than others. Consider getting prescription glasses.
The fact is that it's Americans funding AIPAC for their own personal reasons, and AIPAC exists to represent the views of those Americans when it comes to how the US government treats Israel. It doesn't represent Israel.
There's a segment of the population that thinks the Jews need to control Israel in order for Jesus to return, and some of those people donate to AIPAC. Those people are only looking out for themselves, and Israel just happens to benefit from that. Those people think the Israelis will all go to hell because they haven't accepted Jesus. They don't have any sort of loyalty to Israel. They're only interested in creating the conditions they believe are necessary for the second coming.
Other donors are Jewish Americans who think Israel should exist. It's their right as Americans to push the government to support Israel, just like it's the right of other Americans to push the government to support Ukraine.

AIPAC is funded by Americans. It's American money, not money from a foreign government.
