The Israel Lobby (Marije Meerman, VPRO Backlight 2007)

Uploaded by: VPROinternational
Video Description:
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.

You are a poof and a fool. The US politicians are supposed to answer to the people of the US, not to the lobby of a foreign nation.

You go to easy on the Israelis. The vast majority have no familial connection to the land. None at all. Not even looking back a couple of millenia. They are white Europeans, not semitic northern african desert dwellers. Look at them for God's sake.

independent statistics show that among Americans 60 % support Israel 11% support the "palestinian" side and the rest saying we should remain neutral. If you don't believe me look it up.
Supporting Israel is clearly "answering to the people" Americans are not like cowardly Europeans who will submit to Muslim demands.

ever heard of sephardic jews oldjoe? You truly are an idiot and a racist pig.

Two words for you. Manufactured consent.

The Israeli ruling elites are all white Europeans. Don't play dumb

race is a social construct. You don't play dumb. Mofaz is an Iranian Jew, he might be the next prime minister. You truly are ignorant. don't you know that until the 1950s in America Jews weren't even considered "white"? May I ask your education level sir?

Race is a social ... ( 1 day ago by oldjoe5)

Race is a social construct that plays an extremely important role in Zionism.
Zionism = a Jewish State. What could be more racist than that?

actually no. ... ( 1 day ago by bolerooz)

actually no. Anyone can convert to Judaism. Now it is true that some ultra orthodox nuts are trying to prevent conversion, most of the Jewish world recognized conversions. You cannot change a race, but you can change a religion. All you have oldjoe is one liners. Go get an education, not at a madrassa though!

Gee, all the ... ( 1 day ago by oldjoe5)

Gee, all the Muslims who lived in Palestine before being chased off the land by the Israelis have to do is renounce their religion and convert to the faith of their oppressors and they can return to their homes?

actually all they ... ( 1 day ago by bolerooz)

actually all they have to do is lay down their arms and compromise. If they had done that there would have already been a "palestinian" state in 1948.
But you are right if Muslims did convert I can't argue that it would not be good. For everwhere you look around the world muslims are fighting their neighbors, Kashmir, Darfur, The phillippines.....
So leaving Islam would be a good start for world peace.

Gee, no racism ... ( 1 day ago by oldjoe5)

Gee, no racism there. How about if the Jews laid down their arms and converted to Islam -- would you think that a good idea?

Israel hates and ... ( 19 hours ago by ExoticGawdess)

Israel hates and perjures their semitic neighbors, oh, and kills them too. Nice neighbors. Jews were forced to BELIEVE at the threat of death and torture.Jews are bred to be perverts. Their fathers can rape them at will. Their rabbis molest and rape them legally. Jews BELIEVE lying is sanctified. Orthodox Jews believe an adult man can have sex with an infant if the adult is a rabbi. Jews are pawns of fascist leaders. Americans need to get Jews out of Congress and eliminate the AIPAC lobby.

Jews BELIEVE that a ... ( 19 hours ago by ExoticGawdess)

Jews BELIEVE that a male spirit controls the Universe, but this belief only benefits men as males were the primary profiteers of monotheistic lies aka beliefs. Jews spread lies and BELIEVE in lies for the benefit of men who control the educational systems of the world, men who deny women position, men who keep women from top political office, men who steal women's property and are not punished for stealing by the fascist courts of the world that men control. Male arrogance began with Judaism.

Polytheists allowed ... ( 19 hours ago by ExoticGawdess)

Polytheists allowed female leadership and participation in government and business. Sun worshippers like ancient Egyptians and Babylonians showed fairness toward women. Jews stole their neighbors' religion and perverted it making rule by males and oppression of women a top priority. Judaism started the spread of male supremacy over women and this evil cult formed Islam and Christianity as disguised "other" religions that were essentially the same thing - a body of lies designed to rob women.

Religion is a body ... ( 19 hours ago by ExoticGawdess)

Religion is a body of lies and nothing more. Belief is belief in lies. To "beleive" is to believe the lies. Only the gullible "believe" or have "faith." To have faith is to have faith in the lies. Religions were started by males for the sole benefit of males with no regard or respect for women. The Jews Haggar was a whore in a harem and then slept with another woman's husband and had a child by him. She did not have control of her own body and life. Jews revere Haggar the whore.

Monotheists: Jews, ... ( 19 hours ago by ExoticGawdess)

Monotheists: Jews, Christians, Muslims HATE women and seek to control and dominate women and rob them of property and rights, even basic rights. Jews have Haggar their revered whore. Christians have Mary their revered whore. Muslims must have their revered whore but I don't know her name. Someone provide her name please. I know they have a special whore because Islam and Christianity's ideas and lies came from Jews who have Haggar the whore. The monotheist cabals only parrot each others' lies.

Israel is the new ... ( 19 hours ago by ExoticGawdess)

Israel is the new Sodom and Ghommorah because Jews are perverts. They sanctify the rape of children and kill Palestinian children. The Torah and Old Testament that Christianity is derived from states that it's okay to have sex with children under age 8. No wonder the rabbis and priests of Judaism and Christianity are raping women and children. It's sanctified in writing in books written by and for men. In order to control all money and property men need to demoralize women and children.

Monotheism and rule ... ( 19 hours ago by ExoticGawdess)

Monotheism and rule by men means that women and children are constantly raped and demoralised. This keeps money and property in men's hands. The Torah and Old and New Testament and Q'uran were spread by terrorising women and children, rape and mass murder. If you look at Hollywood today, it's run by Jews, it's highly perverted and profits most by raping women on film and off camera, physically assaulting women and constant murder stories. Israel is Soddom and Ghamorrah. They are sick and evil.

The Zodiac killer ... ( 19 hours ago by ExoticGawdess)

The Zodiac killer was a Jew. He preyed upon couples because he was bred to be a pervert. Monotheists are bred to be perverts because they are taught to associate the powerful emotions of shame and guilt to sex. The Zodiac killer was sex obsessed. He was a trained soldier who loved killing small animals. They caught him but let him go because he was a Jew and the Jew-controlled mass media was making a killing financially from terrorising the masses and selling the story.

You have to wonder ... ( 19 hours ago by ExoticGawdess)

You have to wonder a lot, if you aren't brainwashed to Believe the monotheistic lies, whether or not Spector and Polanski have in common hatred for White women and White children simply because Spector and Polanski are brainwashed Jews who revere the words in the book series called the Torah. If they aren't Leninist who believe that Jews leeching off of the White race and America is an act of Yahway and blessed. If they aren't Talmudists who are often rapists and child murderers and kidnappers.

The Torah, New ... ( 19 hours ago by ExoticGawdess)

The Torah, New Testament and Q'uran are all fictional tales based on wholesale lies for the sole benefit of males. They are designed to enrich a few males in the here and now while all other humans await riches after death. The fictional tales make human beings weak-minded and defenseless. All monotheistic religions spread by force, torture, mass murder and mass theft of property that human beings spent their lives working to acquire for security. Monotheism causes enormous needless loss.

Monotheism is based ... ( 18 hours ago by ExoticGawdess)

Monotheism is based solely upon lies and only enriches a few men at everyone else's expense. Only the gullible believe the monotheistic lies. With monotheism ideas are ridiculous and limited. Shit goes in and shit comes out. Take the perversion, brutality, thievery, persecution, oppression, ignorance as examples of the shit that comes out once the religious lies are fed into one's mind. Little to know good comes of it. There has to be a better way; humans everywhere are suffering needlessly.
