And if that isn't enough, here's why the US congress bends over backwards to give Israel whatever it wishes: https://theintercept.com/2023/11/03/deconstructed-israel-aipac-squad-primary/

tl;dl: If a politician says something critical of Israel, pro-Israel lobbying groups will fund their opponents' campaigns

Isn't that like, normal lobbying?

The somewhat direct ties to a foreign nation are unusual for a lobbying effort. That sort of thing is normally frowned upon.

Indirect ties and multiple layers of obfuscation are the norm.

And by "normally frowned upon", you mean "illegal as hell when it's any other country"
