The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy
Uploaded by: ExactKnowledge
Video Description:
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.

Youssef Ibrahim writes: "That there is a lobby in America concerned with the well-being of Israel is a silly question. It is insane to ask whether the 6 million American Jews should be concerned about the 6 m Israeli Jews, particularly in view of the massacre of another 6 m Jews in the Holocaust. It's elementary, my dear Watson: Any people who do not care for their own are not worthy of concern. Its what all ethnic lobbies - Greek, Armenian etc-do in this democracy
The political violence that broke out in Ireland between 1916 and 1923 had its origins in Irish nationalist demands for Home Rule within the UK and British Empire and unionist resistance to these demands.
see they have demands of home rule
their demand wasnt wipe london off the map
Well, the whole, "wiping" off the map thing is a little over the top. Western media shows the crazies, as in all countries. Maybe israel shouldn't demolish others homes. Maybe the chosen ones shouldn't commit,"holacaust" type crimes against the Palestinans. Do not say they don't. There is alot of video evidence. Sure there is...cont
Of course it is. When there is a big fat host for a parasite to engorge itself on, it does so with the utmost of enthusiasm.
In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people,since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct "Palestinian people" to oppose Zionism"

All one need do is express disagreement with US policy on supporting Israel, and the zionists all come out of their holes and scream anti-semitism and 'you hate Jews'.
Folks, this is what AIPAC is doing to our Congress EVERY DAY. If you are a rep and you don't suck up to AIPAC and support Israel no matter WHAT crimes they commit, even when we suffer like we did on 911, they will smear you and fund your opponent in the next election and you will LOSE. AIPAC MUST DIE
The largest recipients are Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman, Egypt, Venezuela, Libya, PA, and so forth. This is all money down the drain
What should be boycotted are the oil producing nations of OPEC. Additionally, give some of the humanitarian aid away from the unworthy Palestinians (largest recipients per capita) and give it to someone who needs it
Decent people; fell free to Google US foreign aid to see the Zionist Jews for the liars they are. Also see wrmeadotcom (us aid to israel)
Its never been money down the hole, as with countries like Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Libya, Venezuela, and Egypt, which receive more for the past 5 years in aid and loans.
So facts. Useless bigot.
Please write your local,state and federal politicians to cut off the billions in welfare that the US is giving to Israel! If for no other reason than the money is needed in the States for childrens health care, creating jobs and lowering YOUR taxes! Get as many people involved as possible.
Two major lobbies managed to defeat H. Con Res.362, the antichrist AIPAC's efforts to set the stage that would trigger a war with Iran.

Go to their site and get on their email list. Read about H. Con Res.362:

Congress heard us and will listen again as AIPAC has sworn to try and shove this treasonous bill through again.
Please contact your Congressman/woman and let them know that you don't want ANY of your tax dollars going to Israel, Americans need to keep those billions at home.
Actually the foreign aid is truely broke down by the freedom of info act.
fasdotorg has it broken down for dummies like you and I think that you will be very surprised to see how ignorant you really are!!
good luck it takes real research!
Don't let the Israelis, Zionists and Jews here distract you, please contact your local, state and federal politicians in whatever country you live and demand that they don't spend YOUR tax dollars in Israel.
