The Israel Lobby (Marije Meerman, VPRO Backlight 2007)
Uploaded by: VPROinternational
Video Description:
For many years now the American foreign policy has been characterized by the strong tie 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 tie 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.

Und der Zentralrat der Juden in Deutschland lässt uns nie zur Ruhe kommen. Es gibt keine echte Meinungsfreiheit. Die Juden sind keine Opfer, sie sind Brandstifter!

Jews stole the land in the first place...
Why do we continue to give them billions of dollars in aide, when we can use that money to take care of Americans?
Besides by the same token, the native Americans will have to kick everybody out of America!
Go and get a piece of land from Germany, they (not the Palestinians) killed your parents as you said yourself...
Its certainly true that governments throughout the ME, including Israel have serious problems with corruption in their governments (just like the US). None of this justifies hatespeech of any kind.
That's just ludicrous
"The passionate attachment of one nation for another produces a variety of evils.. Sympathy for the favorite nation, facilitating the illusion of a common interest where no common interest exists... It leads also to concessions to the favorite nation, of privileges denied others... exciting jealousy, ill will, and a disposition to retaliate in the parties from whom equal privileges are withheld." - George Washington - Farewell Address
Know this: They don't give a DAMN about us and how many of us die for them. They would have us start a war that THEY WANT and sit back and LAUGH while American kids die trying to rid them of their enemy.
If you ever needed proof of how evil and conniving these demons are,this is it. Read about it here:

Congress heard us and will listen again as AIPAC has sworn to try and shove this treasonous bill through again.
