"A" is not the (entirely nonexistent and wholly unnecessary) Palestinian lobby. It is Harvard and the state department.

B, not A. Anyway, have you read the original quotation by Moldbug? Here is the relevant sentence, for your convenience:

Even in the last case, the "Israel lobby" is a piece of dental floss compared to the arm-thick steel cable that is the Palestine lobby.

Palestine lobby is written explicitly there, and it's even not in quotation marks as "Israel lobby" is.

I'm sorry, but this is not a reasonable debate. I retreat.

Moldbug also says the Palestine lobby does not exist. You are taking a fragment out of context.
