I just finished watching all of this lecture and I highly expect this man to wash ashore somewhere with a .22cal to the back of the head.
He beats Israel down like a red-headed step child!
Israel’s Armor: The Israel Lobby and the First Generation of the Palestine Conflict - Walter Hixson
Via YT Channel; Washington Report on Middle East Affairs: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHUzbq68PYLE_n_Sn_DuYAg
Hixson recounts a nearly unbroken string of Israeli interventions—working with and at times directing its U.S. lobby—to undermine broader U.S. national interests in favor of policies preferred by Israel. Hixson’s distillation of the original papers of American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) founder Isaiah Kenen and other unique and untapped sources answers questions avoided by mainstream historians.
Hixson reveals how most of the important Israel/lobby levers of influence are deployed, from placing loyal operatives high inside the U.S. policy making apparatus, providing instant access to and transmission of closely-held White House information, to near instant generation of positive and negative mainstream U.S. news favoring Israel's position.
Does the historical record confirm that Israel dictated most of the relevant U.S. choices on critical Israel-Palestine and regional policies? Comparing Cold War Russia and pre-1967 Israeli history, Hixson also explores which country exercised a more pervasive influence on U.S. policy making, and what—if anything—has changed since that time. Hixson will also discuss whether American settler colonialism has made the U.S. more amenable to Israel, how taxpayers have been forced to pay ever more for “Israel's armor,” and whether the U.S. military—mostly unbeknownst to them—is still all but unconditionally guaranteed to back Israel no matter what audacious actions Israel decides to take.
