Frontline USA: Lobbying for Israel
Quote:
It is said to be the most powerful interest group in Washington DC - but what is the Israel lobby? And how exactly does it operate?
As the race to the White House heats up, there is one policy on which all the presidential candidates can agree - the US relationship with Israel.
Israel is the world's largest recipient of US aid, taking in roughly $3bn in direct assistance every year.
It is an aid relationship unlike any other in the world - and by far the most generous foreign aid programme ever between any two countries.
Yet for decades, the US has criticised Israel for its policy of building settlements on occupied Palestinian land.
Every president from Jimmy Carter to George Bush has warned Israel to put a halt to its settlement expansion - and yet the settlements continue to go up, and the aid money continues to pour in.

What is it that drives this US government hypocrisy of policy and why do the voters stand for it ? It seems evident that there is no reason which meets the usual criteria of policy logic. Something else is at work and that 'something else' works to prevent exposure and discussion at a level readily accessible to the American public.
