The Israel
Lobby
Video Documentary - VPRO
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.
