Yeah but this is a foriegn government. That government should not dictate how we run our government at all. There should be no bias in domestic policy based on a foriegn actors dictates. What if this were Taiwan. The story would be very different .

Please, people are way more sympathetic towards Taiwan than to Israel or Jews in general. The US government basically ensure's Taiwan's safety and independence, if it were up to half the people in the US, Israel would cease to exist (and there's no need to say what would happen to the Jews who currently live there, no matter what you believe about their right to be there).

Israel's setup is quite similar.

"Most Americans believe helping to protect Israel should be an important goal of American policy toward the Middle East. On this, Democrats (59%), Republicans (64%), and Independents (79%) agree. However, the latest Economist/YouGov poll underscores the differences in opinions about Israel between Republicans and Democrats."

That's a pretty far cry from what you're asserting.

Are American agencies even allowed to recognize Taiwan after 1971, and UN General Assembly Resolution No. 2758?
