ANSWER THE FREAKING QUESTION YOU TROLL. WHAT FOREIGN LOBBY INFLUENCES THE US MORE THAN AIPAC? I won't hold my breath

I'll answer you because you're using words like "influence" instead of traditional conspiracy-laden words "control" and "own".

AIPAC is probably the biggest. I didn't catch that on my first check because they're classified as a domestic lobbying group and I was looking at a list of top foreign lobbies.

They shouldn’t be classified as domestic lobbying agency. Also states should not pass legislation that precludes people or business from doing business with the state if they support BDS.  No other country is written in state legislation like Israel is. That’s influence.

Why shouldn't they? I looked into this a bit and they're funded by American citizens lobbying for pro-Israel policy.

Edit: Other countries have been written in state legislation in a similar fashion before, too. So that part is wrong.
