Academics journalists and specialists discussed last Friday the strategies policies and tactics used by Israel and its US-based lobby to influence the decisions taken by the Congress and the successive US administrations.
This came during a conference on the influence of the pro-Israel lobby over the US foreign policy held by the magazine of Washington Report on Middle East Affairs in cooperation with “the Institute for Research: Middle Eastern Policy” and “American Educational Trust.”
According to the organizers the Americans’ awareness of such Israeli influence which US politicians try to hide is on the rise.
The organizers see that some 85 percent of Americans oppose the volume of US aid to Israel which has amounted to over a quarter of trillion dollars since its formation as an occupying power in 1948.
