If AIPAC should be under FARA, let's see the evidence.

PAC and IRS rules prohibit AIPAC from taking foreign money.

Let me translate - AIPAC is immune from FARA because they have fully laundered local proxies. Also, if a major donor of AIPAC has dual US-Israeli citizenship, that is an Israeli citizen lobbying congress on behalf of Israel.

US Citizens have 1A Rights. Courts have said political donations are 100% covered by the 1A.

SCOTUS either creating two classes of citizen OR determining 1A rights didn't encompass political donations for US Citizens would both be a major break with precedence.

Yes, an effective loophole for an Israeli citizen to make political donations.

Do we have numbers on how many AIPAC donors are dual citizens and how much they give?

These two high contributors are also Israeli citizens:
Miriam Adelson donated $5million to RJC
Haim Saban donated $2million directly to AIPAC
Others on this list as well, plus a few corporations and shell companies.

Haim Saban donated $2million directly to AIPAC

Huh, involved in the He-Man theme song.

Miriam Adelson donated $5million to RJC
And bigly to Trump's Campaign, too.

As long as it applies to wealthy dual citizens like Dan Bilzerian from ever donating to any PAC, I'm fine with this.

And sadly Elon, who holds triple Canadian and South African citizenship.

And Thiel, who holds German and New Zealand triple citizenship.

It'll certainly stop a lot of Canadians from donating.

Canadians, Germans, New Zealanders, and South Africans do not have a handler assigned to each person in Congress.
