[New York Times] William Grimes - The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy by Professors Mearsheimer and Walt lays out the case for a ruthlessly realistic Middle East policy that would make Israel nothing more than one of many countries in the region. Mearsheimer and Walt mount a prosecutorial brief against Israel's foreign and domestic policies, and against the State of Israel itself. They describe a virtual rogue state, empowered by American wealth and might, that blocks peace at every turn. Most American readers will bristle at the authors' characterization of Israel. The general tone of hostility to Israel grates on the nerves. Israel is not simply one country among many, for example, just as Britain is not. Americans feel strong ties of history, religion, culture and, yes, sentiment. "It is time," Mearsheimer and Walt write, "for the United States to treat Israel not as a special case but as a normal state, and to deal with it much as it deals with any other country." But it's not. And America won't. That's realism. 2007-09-07 01:00:00Full Article
