re: #660 MandyManners

What’s next? A diatribe about the “Israeli lobby” in the U.S.? Praise for Mearsheimer? Praise for Samantha Powers?

You’re denying the influence of AIPAC on U.S. policy towards Israel? It’s not a coincidence that the debate regarding the Israeli Palestinian conflict within Israel is much more heated than the debate in the U.S. AIPAC has done an extremely good job of effectively cultivating their relationships within Washington. The Walt/Mearsheimer paper was unfairly smeared as anti-Semitic. AIPAC is by definition a Jewish lobby. Identifying it as such should not be controversial.
