I think the point is that the MSM does not describe the Israeli meddling as actually "meddling" whilst they do describe Russia's meddling as such.
The way in which events of Israel influencing American politics is reported seldom if at all carry the tone of disproval that is carried by that very same newsmedia's reporting of events of Russia influencing American politics, not even close.
I mean, if the same moral weight was being used for both, the Democrats For Israel and Republicans For Israel groups in Congress would be described in the same terms as any Democrats For Russia or Republicans For Russia would, either outright calling them "traitors" or implying it.
THIS!
