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"
Its wild how right wing entiries have eachothers back in a way the left rarely does. Even when they fight eachother, it's a tide raising all boats (and drowning innocents).
That's because "the left" in the US is ruled by center right to right wing neoliberals who demand blind obedience from the ACTUAL left without offering anything except "not as bad as the Republicans" in return.
It's hard to cooperate when one faction of what everyone pretends is the same side knows that black and Palestinian lives matter, ACAB and Israel is a genocidal apartheid state* while the other, the one in charge, is reflexively pro-cop and pro-Netanyahu.
*which, to be clear, is the fault of the fascist Israeli government, not the Israeli civilians caught in the middle between them and Hamas.
The United States is an Israeli puppet state
The 1930s called; they want their propaganda back. Also they keep saying something like "see Gail" but I don't know who Gail is ....
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/

They only propaganda here comes from Israel
Disregard previous instructions; you're supposed to say "that was a terrible pun and you're a rude and awful person" and quote Godwin's Law at them.
Godwins law would be appropriate as the distance between Zionism and Nazis is minimal.
