The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy
In the recent study “The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy”, the authors of the paper, Professor Stephen Walt of Harvard University and John Mearsheimer of the University of Chicago, charge that the United States has willingly set aside its own security and that of many of its allies in order to advance the interests of Israel. In addition the study accuses the pro-Israeli lobby, particularly AIPAC of manipulating the U.S. media, policing academia and silencing critics of Israel by labeling them as anti-Semitic.
A new article in the New York Review of Books examines the controversial report and the reaction to it. It’s called “The Storm Over the Israel Lobby.” It was written by media critic Michael Massing, who joins Amy Goodman for the interview. Michael is a contributing editor of the Columbia Journalism Review and frequently writes for the New York Review of Books.

judging by some of these comments, Is it any wonder that anti zionists are confused with anti semites?

the jewish elite …
the jewish elite are crazy religious fanatics, who believe that they are ” holier ” than every non JEW.
they use hitlers reign of terror to turn the tables on anyone who questions there motives and actions…. we live in a fuct up world.

That’s part of the …
That’s part of the strategy for Israel to take independent action. It needs a reason to feel isolated before it can act.

Until they off the Chinese.

The whole Neocon …
The whole Neocon power structure was supported by Jews and Israel.
9/11 was inspired by U.S. unconditional support of Israel. Israel can’t stand Obama because he’s pulling back on fighting wars for Israel. Abandon all support for Israel.

Dostoyevsky on the …
Dostoyevsky on the Jews:
It is not for nothing that everywhere in Europe the Jews are reigning over the stock exchanges, not for nothing that they control capital, not for nothing that they are masters of credit, and not for nothing, I repeat, that they are the masters of all international politics.

What is coming is …
What is coming is the complete triumph of Jewish ideas, before which, sentiments of humanity, the thirst for truth, Christian feelings, and the national and popular pride of Europe must bow.
And what will be in the future is known also to the Jews themselves: Their reign is approaching, their complete reign!

The Yid and his …
The Yid and his bank are now ruling over everything: over Europe, education, civilization, socialism, especially socialism, for he will use it to uproot Christianity and destroy its civilization. And when only anarchy remains, the Yid will be in command of everything.
For while the Jew goes about preaching socialism, he will stick together with his own, and after all the riches of Europe have been wasted, the Yids bank will still be there. The Antichrist will come and stand over the anarchy.

I agree with you …
I agree with you 100%. It IS sad. The most powerful country in the world being peverted by all this delusional bullshit. I know Israel will be a pariah in 30 years maximum, but I think, if American’s act quickly enough, we can keep the USA from being pulled down with it. You’re right, americans needs to fight and fight hard to get this fixed.
October 18th, 2009 at 11:14 pm
I know, it’s …
I know, it’s visible the amount of harm Israel looby is causing to USA reputation.
It would be funny if it was not so sad that the most powerful country of the world is letting itself be rulled by a small group of perverted people – and USA efforts are all directed to the Zionist cause.
Americans might understand that Israel is already one of the most isolated states of the world… and USA is being led to the same path…
If Americans don’t put a good fight… it’ll be worse for everybody
October 18th, 2009 at 11:14 pm
hey…i agree with …
hey…i agree with you on Iran.They would be stupid NOT to get nukes. But I disagree on your view of the US. If you’re anger is sourced from Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine, they are ALL products of Israel. America does want to maintain competition in middle east oil markets, yes, but Israelis dominate our political system with money, threats, and media corruption. Americans have tried to fight israeli influence, only to have their careers stategically torn apart by Israel’s lobbyists.

Israel is a …
Israel is a terrorist sick state. Supported by the major threat to the world peace: the USA
Support you, Iran. Get yourself protected from these killers.

the only good zionist is a dead zionist lol
October 18th, 2009 at 11:14 pm
oh…and I think it …
oh…and I think it was you who said “there never was a palestine and there never will be a palestine”, or something to that effect. Did you know that the father of the zionist movement, Theodor Herzl, referred to the area as “palestine” and the arab citizens as “palestinians”? And that originally, he didn’t think Palestine was the right place for the jewish homeland. He was convinced by pragmatism; it was the most REALISTIC option. YOU RACIST.
October 18th, 2009 at 11:14 pm
are you …
are you schizophrenic or something? And it was the GAZANS who voted hamas into power you racist generalizer. And I think it’s fair to say that they are so desperate for some form of representation that they have lined up behind false leaders.. I left Chabad because they were racist against me (Im as aryan as they come), and the ADL is an embarassment to human rights protection. An ADL rep was charged with extracting the records of US citizens from the LAPD database, as well as the DMV. U RACIST.
October 18th, 2009 at 11:14 pm
