AFP Pushes Antisemitism
Walt and Mearsheimer’s vile antisemitic book is about to be released to the public, and Agence France Presse is promoting it for all they’re worth: New book challenges US support for Israel.
NEW YORK (AFP) - An upcoming book that challenges whether diplomatic and military support for Israel is in the United States’ best interests is set to spark fresh debate on Washington’s role in the Middle East.
“The Israel Lobby and US Foreign Policy,” written by two of the United States’ most influential political science professors, is set to hit the bookshelves next Tuesday and promises to break the taboo on the subject.Written by John Mearsheimer from the University of Chicago and Stephen Walt from Harvard, the book follows an article they published last year that stirred impassioned debate by setting out a similar position.
Their thesis is that US endorsement of Israel is not fully explained by strategic or moral reasons, but by the pressure exerted by Jewish lobbyists, Christian fundamentalists and neo-conservatives with Zionist sympathies.
