The Israel Lobby and U.SA. Foreign Policy by John J. Mearsheimer and Stephen M. Walt

[bert]

The peace process is going forward without Obama. He is irrelevant

[ColdOne]

The Jewish lobby! The Jews want to live and it is called a Jewish lobby????

[alecqss]

No mistakes, no failures, no dumb ideas, no bias.... Everything that does not work out to Mr. Walt's liking is Jewish fault. I guess, Israel not committing a suicide has to be a guilty party...

[SeaHawkFan]

Peace in the Miidle East, if it is ever to be, will come a lot faster if U.S. Presidents cease the charade that it can be negotiated by the United States or anyone outside of the parties directly involved.

One gets the impression that Stephen M. Walt -- a Realist in an Ideological Age (his words) -- is unhappy that Mitchell hasn't facilitated the Palestinian defeat of Israel -- and the accompanying slaughter of Jews.

...complete Israeli control is both a denial of the Palestinians' legitimate aspirations and a severe obstacle to their ability to fully develop their own society.

A telling quote...

[Cacique]

Another anti semite disguised as a scholar I see.

[ex-snook]

SJ- Apparently we have worn out our welcome as a solution helper. We have become part of the problem not the solution. We should publicly cut all ties and let happen what may. Israel should protect its own interests in its own way as should we. Our interests are no longer the same.

David Duke’s favorite academic speaketh.

As I recall, Mitchell wanted to be appointed to the Supreme Court in 1994 but Clinton wanted him to stay in the Senate to get health care passed--so he wound up with neither. He is considered an Arab-American--his mother was Lebanese and his father was of Irish descent but adopted by a Lebanese-American family. Lebanese Maronite Catholic, not Muslim.

Perhaps he wouldn't have been quite as bad as Breyer--plus he's 5 years older than Breyer.

[Presbyterian Reporter]

Israel is doing quite well without Obama.

[Brilliant]

How can Mitchell claim to be universally admired? This is the man who bankrupted social security.

[SunkenCiv]

...Nobody can expect to be universally admired in the United States, but Mitchell may have come as close as any politician in recent memory... if Mitchell continues to pile up frequent-flyer miles in a fruitless effort, he will be remembered as one of a long series of U.S. "mediators" who ended up complicit in Israel's self-destructive land grab on the West Bank... However noble the goal of Israeli-Palestinian peace might be, surely he's got better things to do.

Well, that sucks.
