    I mean it’s wild we have lobbies like at all, but one that is controlled by a foreign country seems……? Insane? Lmao.

    ‘I see you’re trying to govern over there, would be a shame if all the policies weren’t in your country’s best interest and instead ours…’ like what?

      Israel’s wars against its neighbors are in the U.S. interest.

      I’m not sure this is a lie. It’s not in the average citizen’s interest. It is in business’ interest.
