Israel
never loses an opportunity to promote what it perceives to be its
interests. That any nation would do just that most of the time should
surprise no one, but Israel is perhaps unique in terms of how
assiduously it works at creating situations that favor it through the
use of corruption of foreign governments and subversion of existing
institutions. For most countries, the actions of a minority that seeks
to advance the interests of a foreign nation would face strong
resistance, but Israel manages to get away with what it does due to the
presence of powerful and wealthy diaspora communities, most particularly
in the Anglophone countries, but also in France.
The
Israel Lobby in the United States has been subjected to some scrutiny
thanks largely to the impetus provided by Professors John Mearsheimer
and Stephen Walt’s groundbreaking study The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy.
More recent revelations have come from undercover journalism undertaken
by al-Jazeera, which has demonstrated how British Jewish groups and
parliamentarians have worked together with Israeli Embassy intelligence
officers to remove public officials believed to be critical of Israel.
Jeremy Corbyn, leader of the Labour Party, has been on the receiving end
of a campaign to replace him for his alleged anti-Semitism solely
because he has condemned Israeli oppression of the Palestinians. A
second al-Jazeera investigation demonstrated how The Lobby, cooperating
with the Israeli Embassy, has been controlling discussion of the Middle
East in the United States, which should have surprised no one...........http://www.unz.com/pgiraldi/recruiting-american-spies-for-israel/
