John Mearsheimer: What if anything has changed in the Israel Lobby/Palestinian crisis?

First, the actions of Israel and the Lobby over the past decade have done much to substantiate many of the claims we made in the book, just to take one example. Going so far as to give a speech to a joint session of Congress on March 3rd Two 2015 that not only indirect attack on President Obama. Of course, he was aided by APAC, which went on to defeat the deal. This nasty fight, the Obama administration, on the other hand, played out in full public view. The second factor behind the increased awareness of Israeli policy and the lobby spaces on the Internet one can go to for information about sure, everyone in this room knows about is a case in point process, steady stream of stories. Information about Israeli and Israeli policy and the lobbies, activities, not to mention letters. Mondo Weiss, which is now 11 years old, had 8 million to incite 2016. Of course, there are other sites that provide value in people information, like The Electronic Intifada. Important source of information on the Internet is hard to take. Critical perspective on Israel? And in the age of Twitter, important or immediately spread around the world to huge numbers of people. Same pieces are also circulated on e-mail lists that go to hundreds, if not thousands of interested readers. Third, there are a host of organizations that are willing to criticize Israel and the lobby. IR MEP is a case in point, as it has played an important role in exposing lobbies activities over time. We're also a number of organizations disapprove of its behavior. They include Jay St. Americans for Peace Now and the Israeli human rights group that Sell, among others in the mainstream media, who have taken to speak the most important person in this regard, Peter Beinart, who wrote a very interesting June 10. June 2000 issue of the New York Review of Books entitled The Failure of the American Jewish Establishment. Policies in the occupied territories about these matters. Since this article appeared before buying art, there was late criticisms of Israel and its American figures in the mainstream media. We have occasionally taken aim over the past decade they would include. Project. Show fame. And some I think there has been a significant change in how Americans think and talk about Israel since they're both appeared. The second big change. Of Israel in recent years, for starters. The political center of strike word for decades. And it has now reached the point where government just comments about Palestinians. And right legislation that is. Individuals who support BDS italics on occasions are that this rightward shift will continue for the foreseeable future. Israel will become an increasingly ill of Israel's reputation is its brutal treatment of the Palestinians and the fact that it has become an apartheid state. Recently, Israel and its supporters were able to maintain the fiction that there would eventually be a legitimate Palestinian state. There is virtually no chance that will happen, and Greater Israel is here for and Richard and Virginia Taylor Tilly made clear in an important. UN study. Two former Israeli prime ministers, David Barack and Avoid Olmert, have said that if there is no big. Face a South African style struggle. Well, there is no two state solution Speaking of individuals. We're well acquainted. Israel is worse. John Dugard, the eminent South African law professor, says that the Palestinians are quote him worst, those committed by the apartment long voice in that regard for anyone who doubts how bad life can be for the Palestinians living under Israeli control One only has to consider what happened in Israel's three major assaults against Gaza, Operation Cast Lead, Operation Pillar of Defense, and Operation Protective Edge. Because of time constraints, Hubble focus exclusively on the first of those operations, Cast Lead, which took place in the weeks.
