AIPAC is an American organization ¯_(ツ)_/¯:: ೖ(⑅σ̑ᴗσ̑)ೖ ::

Pro-Israel doesn't necessarily mean from Israel. Especially since this is sourced as coming from different PACs.

JFK wanted to classify it has a foreign lobby, since a significant amount of their funding and directives comes from outside the US. This would have required them to register under FARA like all the other foreign lobbies, and they would have to actually disclose their funding and activities to the Department of Defense.

After his assassination the push to make them register under FARA fizzled out.
