  It's Your World (a broadcast of the World Affairs Council) The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy -- Originally publishing "The Israel Lobby" as an essay in the London Review of Books in March 2006, John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt's analysis of the Israel lobby and its influence on U.S. foreign policy was one of the most controversial articles in recent memory. Having deepened and expanded their argument to confront recent developments in Lebanon and Iran, Mearsheimer and Walt join the program to discuss their contention that the material and diplomatic support provided by the United States to Israel is due largely to the political influence of a loose coalition of individuals and organizations that actively work to shape U.S. foreign policy in a pro-Israel direction. The authors argue that this lobby has a far-reaching impact on America's posture throughout the Middle East-in Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, and toward the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
