Same in Australia. Chinese or Russian foreign interference is seen as a national security threat, and ASIO takes action against it. But Israeli foreign interference is "lobbying". The PM gives the chief lobbyist a job and staff, and the ASIO boss invites the Israeli president to a private briefing.
