Israel Lobby Case Study

The Jewish diaspora-homeland relationship is based on strong institutional foundation. Jews are concerned about the Jews community and feel responsible for not able to save Jews from Holocaust and they compensate for this by supporting Israel strongly (Shain & Barth 2003). Diasporic lobbying engages with coalition politics and is thus called as “diasporic coalition lobbying.” Coalition lobbying is related to coalition building and occurs both at community and national level. There are two different dimensions associated with “diasporic coalition:” intergroup coalition and intragroup coalition. Jews diaspora who have to struggle with the problem at the local level move their agenda through intergroup coalition (Laguerre 2006). The negotiation

Politically, Israel is a nation with extremely similar interests to that of the United States, which greatly benefits and strengthens the alliance with Israel. Robert Blackwill, Henry A. Kissinger

Americans have admired Israelis throughout history which many believe is due to the American heritage in Israel’s pioneering spirit and struggle for independence (Jewish Virtual Library). Israel is a nation that has produced a melting pot or multicultural society which is compiled of citizens from more than 100 different nations. The United States is famously known for the multicultural society and advocates for other nations to utilize the same way of thinking. Israel is also deeply committed to democracy and the value of guaranteeing rights for every individual living within the country, which is another key American legislative motive. Israel shares American’s passion for education and publishes the most books per capita than anywhere else in the world (Jewish Virtual Library). These shared values are the reason the United States has pledged support for Israel. Former Secretary of State Alexander Haig described Israel as our “unsinkable aircraft carrier” in the Middle East (Addis). Israel provides intel on neighboring countries and is invaluable to America for educating themselves on the events and controversies of the Middle East. Former correspondent Robert Kaplan stated that ““Our allegiance to Israel is a matter not only of its being a democracy but also of its being a valuable chess piece — a pro-American military dynamo in the heart of the Middle East” (Addis)

America has been a great benefactor to the state of Israel. However, America should not support Israel unconditionally because it generates deep hatred from Arabs and that the government of Israel has shifted away form the democratic ideal and beliefs of America. The unconditional support of America towards Israel has caused Arab terrorist groups to hate and kill citizens of the United States. Also Israel’s has turned away from a democratic ideal that grants equal rights to all citizens.

Proceeding from a simplistic perception of regional stability, Washington utilized the surrogate strategy to control the outcomes of regional interactions in the Middle East and chose Israel to play the role of regional surrogate. But Israel, in many cases, instead of maintaining regional stability on behalf of the US, served its own interests which were not always consistent with US interest in regional stability. The Israeli violations, however, were either condoned or even approved by the US administrations. These reactions comprised what this chapter addressed as a pro-Israel model of intervention.

“For the nation and kingdom that will not serve you shall perish; those nations shall be utterly laid waste” (ESV. Isa. 60:12). This is what God said to Israel through a prophet named Isaiah. Many people in this country believe that the relationship between the U.S. and Israel is hurting our relationship with other countries. They believe that Israel is conducting immoral behavior. As a result, they believe that the U.S. should stop supporting Israel. However, there are good reasons for the United States to support Israel. Israel is an ally that is constantly under threat from Arab nations and the United States should be there to help and support Israel when those threats arise. On the other hand, Israel is mistreating Palestinians and is about to become a full-fledged apartheid state; the U.S. should not support such actions (Mearsheimer). Although Israel is on the road to becoming and apartheid state, they

Three Christian groups have collaborated to launch a 13-part original series titled “Why Israel Matters,” which aims to show how important the Jewish state is to America, Christians, and the rest of the world.

Israeli representatives like Dermer have routinely ignored progressives’ concerns about Israel’s policies in the West Bank by refusing to differentiate between Israeli settlements and Israel proper. This is one of the reasons that we were intrigued by the decision by Israel’s Minister for Strategic Affairs, Gilad Erdan, to engage J Street in its anti-BDS efforts. Until this outreach gesture, the Israeli government has failed to create space for a progressive strategy to fighting boycotts – meaning one that opposes the occupation and strongly supports the two-state solution. This refusal has narrowed the pro-Israel

**It is perfectly acceptable to criticize Israel’s policies. Israelis do it all the time in blistering debates, but criticism turns into classic anti-Semitism, according to Stand with Us and Christians United for Israel in the magazine Israel 101, when it exhibits the Three Ds of anti-Semitism Delegitimization, Double Standards, and Demonization. “Delegitimization: The Jewish State has no right to exist. Israelis do not belong in the Middle East. Double Standards: Israel is condemned harshly for self-defense measures and social problems that are seen as acceptable or inevitable in other nations. Demonization: Through distortions and lies, Israel is depicted as the world’s most evil and dangerous country, and the claim is made that if the

The country that I choose for my project is Israel .The capital of Israel is Jerusalem. Israel’s Population is around 7,105,000 people.

Media outlets consistently perceive the Jewish people as the victims of brutality and violence despite them supposedly attempting to create a peaceful two-state solution. With some investigation, it quickly becomes obvious that this simply isn’t the case. Permit regimes and powerful Israeli military units have trapped the Palestinians in hostile territories. The expansion of Israeli settlements on Palestinian land makes a mockery of the US commitment to self-determination in several Israeli cities. However, lobbyist organizations such as AIPAC tell the American public a far different

Countries since the beginning of time have traded, competed, and influenced the world economy. A country’s political views, religious views, and culture all play an important role in how the country conducts business in the global market. They also play a role in how a specific country makes economic decisions as well as the result of those decisions and how it transitions to the world market. It is extremely important to understand the role of each country and how it conducts business in the global economy. The main focus of this essay is to take an indepth look at Israel’s economy both internally and globally. Israel has been around for millions of years and is one of the most fought over lands in the world. Israel’s history begins when

It's a continuation of his idealistic philosophy that enemies and friends need to be treated equally. Iran gets billions of dollars in cash delivered by plane while Israel gets a resolution from UN, telling them that the Western Wall is a settlement.

made the conflict so bitter and emotional is the fact that the land being fought
