Israel feared legal trouble over US advocacy efforts, leaked files suggest

"Voices of Israel was rebooted shortly after the outbreak of the Gaza war following the 7 October terror attacks by Hamas. Amichai Chikli, the Likud minister of diaspora affairs, who oversees the latest iteration of the project, informed the Knesset that the group was set to go “on the offensive” against American students protesting against the Gaza war." 98.46.117.20 (talk) 16:22, 17 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Delete non-NPOV "surreptitiously" from "and surreptitiously channels millions through groups" AndyBloch (talk) 22:30, 28 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Done I reworded the sentence and added another reference. AIPAC's spending on political campaigns (through affiliated PACs) can no longer be described as surreptitious. It is routinely reported in normal news articles. -- M.boli (talk) 14:59, 29 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Clarify "one of the most powerful lobbying groups."

Article says has been called "one of the most powerful lobbying groups." Where? Source indicates in Washington DC/The US. Edit to one of these or something similar. 314pies (talk) 21:30, 15 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Michael Oren citation

Latest comment: 1 month ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I find it unfair that the article includes opinions stated by Michael Oren, an Israeli diplomat, and former member of the Knesset, while simply referring to him as a 'historian'. Trulyy (talk) 02:33, 2 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
