Unmoderated Tag: Politics Rating: Amazing Hits: 283 Comments: 2 The Israel Lobby The Israel Lobby Dutch documentary on a controversial subject, namely AIPAC's influence within the United States of America. Subtitles provided. For many years now America's foreign policy has been characterized by the strong ties between the United States and Israel. Does the United States in fact keep Israel on its feet? And how long will it continue to do so? In March 2006 the American political scientists John Mearsheimer (University of Chicago) and Steve Walt (Harvard) published the controversial article "The Israel Lobby and US foreign policy." In it they state that it is not, or no longer, expedient for the US to support and protect present-day Israel. The documentary sheds light on both parties involved in the discussion: those who wish to maintain the strong ties between the US and Israel, and those who were critical of it and not infrequently became "victims" of the lobby. The question arises to what extend the pro-Israel lobby ultimately determines the military and political importance of Israel itself. Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson (Colin Powell's former chief-of-staff) explains how the lobby's influence affects the decision-making structure in the White House. With political scientist John Mearsheimer, neocon Richard Perle, lobby organization AIPAC, televangelist John Hagee, historian Tony Judt, Human Rights Watch director Kenneth Roth, colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, Democrat Earl Hilliard, Israeli peace negotiator Daniel Levy, and investigative journalist Michael Massing.
