| Prof. John Mearsheimer on AIPAC and Congress (Part 1 of 2) |
 |
On May 29, 2008, on Capitol Hill, Professor
John Mearsheimer shared his views, at a
public forum, on the the powerful Israel
Lobby, particularly its leading element,
AIPAC; Christian Zionists; the late Rep. Tom
Lantos; Rep. Henry Waxman; Rep. Howard
Berman; and the U.S. Congress, among other
matters. Bottom line for Professor
Mearsheimer: "The Israel Lobby's undue
influence...isn't good for the country...or
for our democracy...Congress isn't doing its
job...And, that the Founding Fathers would be
appalled" at what is going on today with
respect to the Israel Lobby and the Congress.
The event was held in the Cannon Office
Building. It was sponsored by the Council for
the National Interest (CNI). For background,

We have been paying an enormous price for the
US government's support of Israel and we
should NOT have to pay it! We should not have
our lives put in harm's way because of
support of Israel. We are being lied to about
what Israel actually has been doing.

| Iraq, the Neocons and the Israel Lobby - John Mearsheimer |
 |
Complete video at:
http://fora.tv/fora/showthread.php?t=1967
Author and political scientist John J.
Mearsheimer argues that neoconservative and
pro-Israel lobby groups were both greatly
influential to the U.S. decision to go to war
in Iraq.
-----
John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt discuss
"The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy."
What is at the heart of the special
relationship between the United States and
the state of Israel? Does Israel truly
represent a strategic U.S. asset in the
Middle East? Are the two nations really
partners in the same "War on Terror", with
the same threats up against them, and the
same interests at stake?
Professors John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt
had become well-known authorities in our
understanding of contemporary international
relations theory, security, and policy long
before their collaboration on The Israel
Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy. Atlantic
Monthly approached the pair in the fall of
2002 to research the depth of influence of
the pro-Israel lobby on U.S. policy. By the
time they returned with the results of their
research, the magazine's editor had decided
not to go ahead with the piece, and was not
even interested in a revision. At the
prompting of an American academic peer, they
decided to submit the article to the London
Review of Books where it was finally
published in March of 2006.
Mearsheimer and Walt argue that if there ever
truly were significant strategic (i.e.
balance of power considerations during the
Cold War) and/or moral (i.e. common
Judeo-Christian and democratic values)
grounds to justify the unique level of
American support afforded the Jewish state,
they have long been exhausted. Has this
unwavering support made Israel a liability in
U.S. foreign policy? And, does this special
relationship threaten, rather than enhance,
American security in the Middle East, in the
world, and at home? - World Affairs Council
of Oregon
John J. Mearsheimer is the R. Wendell
Harrison Distinguished Service Professor of
Political Science and the co-director of the
Program on International Security Policy at
the University of Chicago, where he has
taught since 1982.
