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.Research: William de BruijnDirector: Marije Meerman For more information visit http://www.vpro.nl/programma/t...

I do know what the flying fuck you are talkin about. I am an Israeli American. I hold dual citizenship. I have lived in Israel for 20 years and what you speak of is not true. I currently reside in the usa and can tell you from living in both countries the democracy of Israel is more pure and less corrupt than the American foreign policy.

You don't much about Israel. They are not a democracy. If they were, why can't many vote? Why is it a crime to proselytize? Not that I like anyone trying to sell any of the religions to me...still, it is the lack of freedom that is undemocratic. At least intolerable.Find out a little more. Be curious. And please do not let anyone shut down questioning ANY government.

Israel is a rogue terrorist nation. Every nation on earth knows it except it seems, the US. Americans are waking up to this reality and scratching their heads, wondering why we are following such a suicidal policy of supporting Israel. The Iraq war has been a great eye opener. Furthering this awareness has been Israel constantly beating the drums to attack Iran. Israel's goal is to wipe out every Arab nation in the middle east and steal their land for themselves. No wonder the US is so hated.

This whole thing is bullshit. Israel is in the best intrest od the usa because Israel is the only country with a democracy in a region of muslim extremism. Fuck the Arabs and long live the jewish people.

The Jewish elite control the US, and they want to rule the whole world.

The jewish welfare state of IsraHell must be starved,boycotted,sanctioned and cut off from all material support.The US gives IsraHell 5 billion $ a year in US tax dollars.Even when the US is in a terrible recession the jews want more welfare money paid for by American taxes.When will Americans say no to the jewish welfare state of IsraHell?
