Anti-Israel Sentiment, Coming To A Barnum Near You

Tomorrow night, political scientist Stephen Walt will be gracing Tufts with his presence. Oh, I'm sorry, did I say gracing? I meant annoying. Walt (a big name, to be sure) is co-author of The Israel Lobby, along with John Mearsheimer (IR majors, commence the pants-wetting).

What's The Israel Lobby, you ask? Oh, just the book that blames pretty much every poor decision our government has ever made on those big bad Jews lobbying for Israel. Raise your hand if you'd rather be at bagel brunch.

They have some very good points- god forbid anyone say anything remotely anti-israel. Posted 11/26/2007 6:24 PMReply

Anything can be skewed to sound legitimate, I'm sure that a good enough lobbyist can find a way to blame all the illegal immigrants in the US on the Jews too. Posted 11/26/2007 8:28 PMReply

They're not pinning anything on the jews in general, they're pinning it on the lobbyist groups. There's no reason why we should keep on giving Israel so much money. Posted 11/27/2007 6:43 PMReply
