@jdp23 @tillshadeisgone (Separately, authoritarian regimes and democratic backsliders love accusing NGOs of being foreign agents; Bibi does it, Orbán does it, etc.)
It was not a narrow point about FARA, because then technical arguments about whether AIPAC is truly an Israel lobby would count (it isn't - it doesn't advocate for Israel's position in trade disputes). Instead, it became purely emotive: AIPAC is bad because it's part of the Jewish dual loyalties. This is why tech.lgbt was right.
