Description
The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy by John J. Mearsheimer and Stephen M. Walt is a major work that challenges the conventional wisdom on the impact of the Israel lobby on U.S. foreign policy. Originally published in the London Review of Books in 2006, this influential article sparked a heated debate and has since been expanded upon in this book. Mearsheimer and Walt argue that the remarkable level of material and diplomatic support provided to Israel by the United States cannot be fully explained by strategic or moral grounds, and that this support is largely driven by the political influence of a loose coalition of individuals and organizations. The authors contend that the lobby's influence extends far beyond the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, affecting America's posture in the Middle East, including Iraq, Iran, and Lebanon. They also argue that the lobby's policies are in neither America's national interest nor Israel's long-term interest, and that this has significant implications for America's relationships with other countries and the global jihadist terror threat.
