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.

Your parents were killed by people who weren't Arab = you must live on land that's been inhabited by Arabs for hundreds of years kill people who've never done anything to you prior. Makes a lot of sense. If someone came to my door said sorry but some people I think are related to me lived here a couple millenia ago I'd definately give my home to them leave. If they took it at gunpoint I wouldn't resent it.

Cause the Zionist lobby owns most of Congress, tries to intimidate or blackmail the ones that won't be bought off.

AIPAC is PURE EVIL 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. National Iranian American Council niacouncil[.]org Friend's Committee on National Legislation fcnl[.]org Go to their site and get on their email list. Read about H. Con Res.362: coastalpost[.]com/08/11/01[.]html Congress heard us and will listen again as AIPAC has sworn to try and shove this treasonous bill through again.

Their government, through AIPAC, was caught RED HANDED trying to maneuver Congress into setting up a blockade on Iran and thus provoking confrontation and WAR. 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: coastalpost[.]com/08/11/01[.]html

The Father of our Country warned us: "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

lol That's just ludicrous

Er...I'm against the level of support the US gives to Israel and with the way the Israeli government has treated its own people and neighbors (especially the Palestinians). I don't believe that any of this justifies blanket statements about Jews in general or the Israeli people. 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.

Er...before the Babylonians kicked the Hebrews out, had the Hebrews lived there all along, or did they wander in an kill EVERYONE men, women, children, and LIVESTOCK because their God told them that those people he created were evil and deserved to die? Where is the Canaanite lobby?
