Mearsheimer and Walt are two academics with a bat in their belfry re:
Israel. They are laughed out of any SERIOUS discussion of Israel-Arab
relations.
OTOH, their work is widely exploited in anti-Israel circles.
Some anti-Mearsheimer/Walt sites:
http://www.adl.org/Israel/mearsheimer_walt.asp
http://www.jcpa.org/brief/brief005-20.htm
http://normblog.typepad.com/normblog/2006/03/a_reply_to_mear.html
etc.
Bottom line: Everybody else can have a lobby, but not Israel.
The usual double standard.
