UpFront - The Arena: Debating the pro-Israel lobby in the US

Рет қаралды 13,186

Күн бұрын

The pro-Israel lobby has been described by some as the most effective interest group "across the entire planet".
As Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu prepares for his first visit to Washington since his controversial appearance before Congress in March, why does Israel command so much support in the US, especially in Congress?
Is it thanks to the efforts of the pro-Israel lobby? Or is the lobby's influence over exaggerated?
In this week's Arena, Professor Alan Dershowitz debates former Democratic Congressman Brian Baird on the influence of the Israel lobby.

Brian Baird has some serious balls. The moment you say anything about this which is overwhelmingly obvious, you immediately get canceled and accused of being antisemitic.

Израиль не демократия, а режим апартеида. Не может быть демократии отдельно для израильтян. Чувак в очках врёт.

Can you imagine had anyone dared to say about Israel lobby what Dershowitz just said about the Saudi Lobby? “They have their tentacles in all parts of the government”

Dershowitz claims the US is the only country that supports Israel. That's utter nonsense. Then he claims Netanyahu "made an open offer ..." yeah, right.

I applaud Professor Alan Dershowitz taking on two bigoted opponents and winning the debate with one arm behind his back.

Alan Dershowitz is unprofessional and prejudiced.

He's clearly an honorable man who would never take money to defend the indefensible.

Dershowitz just openly admited that the congressmen and women are for sale to whoever has more money, in his opinion the Saudis have more money!! Some democracy!!😂😂😂😂

Very incorrect. Australia supports Israel too! But a lot of Australian’s do not.

Aren't the Sordies (I assume he means the Saudis) friendly with Netanyahu and the Israeli right?

"80 senators and 300 congressmen"? The Senate is part of Congress. Senators are congress[men].

Not true in the least. Congress is the lower body of the house of Representatives. A senator is significantly more powerful and important to a Congressman.
