In 2006 Two professors, John Mearsheimer of the University of Chicago, and Steven Walt of Harvard University, wrote a paper called the Israeli Lobby and US Foreign Policy. It was a controversial unveiling of the secretive Israeli Lobby and its disproportionate effect on our foreign policy. It had to be published initially in England; no one would publish it here. It led to a book, and the Israeli Lobby, which loves to operate in the dark, was exposed. Mearsheimer and Walt were attacked by the Israeli propaganda machine, but truth will outâ¦the book has held up under intense scrutiny.
Our feature presentation today is a keynote address delivered by Professor Mearsheimer before a conference sponsored by the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs. He examines where we have come since the publication of the article and book⦠What has changed? What has not?
