[0:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8NWqCRM3HNIr/en/aipac-and-foreign-interest-lobbying-in-us-politics) Who lobbies for foreign interests in the United States, and how?

[0:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8NWqCRM3HNIr/en/aipac-and-foreign-interest-lobbying-in-us-politics?t=4) Hi, my name is Ezra Mor, and this is the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, or AIPAC for short, which really gives no peace to the mentally challenged, who are gifted in other ways.

[0:14](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8NWqCRM3HNIr/en/aipac-and-foreign-interest-lobbying-in-us-politics?t=14) And recently, I came across this post by some Andrey Ivanov, who whipped up a model post about, and I quote: “The pro-Israel lobby in America is one of the most glaring examples in history of one country interfering in another’s domestic politics.

[0:30](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8NWqCRM3HNIr/en/aipac-and-foreign-interest-lobbying-in-us-politics?t=30) AIPAC openly boasts that it buys politicians who support the Israeli government, spending tens of millions of dollars on them, and in any other country, such an organization would be banned.”

[0:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8NWqCRM3HNIr/en/aipac-and-foreign-interest-lobbying-in-us-politics?t=41) And this is actually a fairly common viewpoint.

[0:44](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8NWqCRM3HNIr/en/aipac-and-foreign-interest-lobbying-in-us-politics?t=44) Because there are so many people like Andrey Ivanov, who think the Jews shit in their pants.

[0:49](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8NWqCRM3HNIr/en/aipac-and-foreign-interest-lobbying-in-us-politics?t=49) But apparently, they all share one brain, and even that one's shriveled.

[0:53](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8NWqCRM3HNIr/en/aipac-and-foreign-interest-lobbying-in-us-politics?t=53) Because if these fans of the Jewish conspiracy had their heads on straight, and could think logically and critically, they'd have no trouble finding out that besides the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, which, in Andrey's opinion,

[1:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8NWqCRM3HNIr/en/aipac-and-foreign-interest-lobbying-in-us-politics?t=65) is one of the most egregious examples in history of one country interfering in another country's domestic politics, there is also, for example, in America, the Armenian National Committee, or ANCA for short, which lobbies the U.S. Congress on behalf of Armenians and Armenia,

[1:21](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8NWqCRM3HNIr/en/aipac-and-foreign-interest-lobbying-in-us-politics?t=81) opposing Turkish and Azerbaijani influence.

[1:24](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8NWqCRM3HNIr/en/aipac-and-foreign-interest-lobbying-in-us-politics?t=84) And, by the way, speaking of Turkey. Here we move on to the so- called Turkey Coalition of America or TCA for short, which was created to a large extent as a counterweight to the Armenian and Greek lobbies and works to improve Turkey’s image in the U.S. There’s also the Hellenic American Leadership Council, HALC for short,

[1:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8NWqCRM3HNIr/en/aipac-and-foreign-interest-lobbying-in-us-politics?t=101) modeled after AIPAC to lobby for Greek interests and work on security issues in the Eastern Mediterranean.

[1:50](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8NWqCRM3HNIr/en/aipac-and-foreign-interest-lobbying-in-us-politics?t=110) And if you happen to think that’s all, I have bad news for you, because it won’t all fit into one video, because there are also, for example, the U.S.-India Political Action Committee, USINPAC for short.

[2:02](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8NWqCRM3HNIr/en/aipac-and-foreign-interest-lobbying-in-us-politics?t=122) There’s also the Taiwanese lobby, FAPA, which actively works with the U.S. Congress to promote Taiwan’s right to self- determination.

[2:09](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8NWqCRM3HNIr/en/aipac-and-foreign-interest-lobbying-in-us-politics?t=129) And finally, the most important thing. Attention!

[2:11](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8NWqCRM3HNIr/en/aipac-and-foreign-interest-lobbying-in-us-politics?t=131) The U.S.- Qatar Committee on Public Affairs, or AQPAC for short, whose main goal is to strengthen the strategic partnership between the U.S. and Qatar and which spends on its goals dozens of times more money than the Israeli lobby or any other lobby.

[2:27](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8NWqCRM3HNIr/en/aipac-and-foreign-interest-lobbying-in-us-politics?t=147) And if people like Andrei Ivanov, who accuse AIPAC of interfering in American politics, ever used their heads for anything other than eating, they'd know that literally every diaspora represented in the U.S. has its own organization to lobby for its country's interests.

[2:44](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8NWqCRM3HNIr/en/aipac-and-foreign-interest-lobbying-in-us-politics?t=164) It's an integral part of the American political ecosystem.

[2:48](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8NWqCRM3HNIr/en/aipac-and-foreign-interest-lobbying-in-us-politics?t=168) But why strain their weak, inflamed brains and try to understand all these complicated things when they can just, as usual, blame the Jews for everything? Right?

[2:56](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8NWqCRM3HNIr/en/aipac-and-foreign-interest-lobbying-in-us-politics?t=176) All the best.
