Mearsheimer and Walt attribute this exceptional relationship to the political influence of a loose pro-Israel coalition that steers U.S. foreign policy. They contend the lobby shapes America’s posture across the Middle East, influencing Iraq, Syria, Iran, Lebanon, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and U.S. relations with key allies while heightening risks from global jihadist terror.","ANDU.S.FOREIGN POLICY  \nJohn J.Mearsheimer AND Stephen M.Walt  \n# WHAT IS THE IMPACT OF THE ISRAEL LOBBYON U.S.FOREIGN POLICY—AND IS IT INAMERICA'S NATIONAL INTEREST?\n\n\"The Israel Lobby,\"by John J.Mearsheimer of theUniversity of Chicago and Stephen M.Walt of Harvard'sJohn E Kennedy School of Government,was one of themost controversial articles in recent memory.Originallypublished in the London Review of Books in March 2006,the essay provoked both howls of outrage and cheersof gratitude for examining one of the most taboo issuesin America:the impact of the Israel lobby on U.S.foreign policy.According to The New York Times Maga-zine,it “slammed into the opinion-making world witha Category 5 force.”  \nNow,in a work of major importance,Mearsheimerand Walt deepen and expand their argument and con-front recent developments in the Middle East.Theydescribe the remarkable level of material and diplomaticsupport that the United States provides to Israel andargue that this support cannot be fully explained oneither strategic or moral grounds.This exceptional rela-tionship is due largely to the political influence of a loosecoalition of individuals and organizations that activelyworks to steer U.S.foreign policy in a pro-Israel direc-tion.Mearsheimer and Walt provocatively contend thatthe lobby has a far-reaching impact on America's posturethroughout the Middle East—in Iraq,Syria,Iran,and Leb-anon—and toward the Israeli-Palestinian conflict,and thatthe policies it has encouraged are profoundly damagingto both America's national interests and Israel's long-term security.The lobby's influence also affects America's  \n(continued on back flap)  \n(continued from front flap)  \nrelationship with important allies and increases the dan-gers that all states face from global jihadist terror.  \nWriting in The New York Review of Books,MichaelMassing declared,\"Not since Foreign Affairs magazinepublished Samuel Huntington's 'The Clash of Civili-zations?'in 1993 has an academic essay detonated withsuch force.”The publication of The Israel Lobby and U.S.Foreign Policy is certain to widen the debate at a timewhen there is no more urgent issue than America's rolein the Middle East.  \nJOHN J.MEARSHEIMER is the R.Wenadell HarisonDistinguished Service Professor of Political Science andthe codirector of
