Concept of the “Israel Lobby” in the News
Google News is buzzing with articles calling for more examination of the “Israel Lobby” described by Mearsheimer and Walt in the London Review of Books and a Harvard working paper. I want to consider this paper at length in a future article, but will link to relevant stories appearing over the last twenty-four hours now.
-
The New York Observer “Mondo Weiss” column by Philip Weiss contains an article titled “Chris Matthews Should Talk About the Israel Lobby Because It’s All He Thinks About.” In it he describes his dream episode of Hardball where Matthews confronts those funding Israeli actions.
-
A Gulf News Opinion Column by Duraid Al Baik offers some analysis of the piece as well in the article “US investment in Israel is bad.”
-
Antiwar.com has a particularly blunt article on “Israel’s ‘Moral High Ground’” noting how the Israel Lobby responds to any criticism to its morality.
- TPMCafe.com discusses the Mearsheimer and Walt paper along with the article discussed in the “Democrats as Realists?” post a few days ago at “A Presidential Briefing Memo on the Middle East.”
That does it for now. Enjoy the reading.
