The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy
John J. Mearsheimer University of Chicago - Department of Political Science Stephen M. Walt Harvard University - John F. Kennedy School of Government March 2006 KSG Working Paper No. RWP06-011 Abstract: The centerpiece of U.S. Middle East policy is its intimate relationship with Israel. Though often justified as reflecting shared strategic interests or compelling moral imperatives, the U.S. commitment to Israel is due primarily to the activities of the "Israel Lobby." This paper describes the various activities that pro-Israel groups have undertaken in order to shift U.S. foreign policy in a pro-Israel direction.
