Documentary on the Influence of the Israel Lobby on U.S. Foreign Policy

This documentary is a couple of years old, but is still relevant to what is playing out today between the U.S. and Israel. The documentary centers around a policy paper written by Stephen Walt and John Mearsheimer back in 2006 critical of U.S. policy towards Israel. The two scholars later published a book expanding on the article (see links below).

Discussion About the Impact of the Israel Lobby On American Politics

Hear a discussion with the authors of a new book entitled- The Israel Lobby & U.S. Foreign Policy. The Authors, John Mearsheimer & Stephen Walt, are on target with their analysis regarding how U.S. foreign policy is being held hostage by Israel. The U.S. sides with Israel (automatically in most cases) even at the expense of our own best interests.

Anyone who even questions the U.S. relationship with Israel, or raises concerns about the Israel Lobby in this Country (AIPAC for example) is labeled anti-semitic.
The authors also discuss how American politicians, particularly the Presidential candidates, are afraid of the Israel Lobby.

Interesting discussion.
