This '52 minute' video is a must-see by our fellow Americans (and everyone else) who still have doubts about the power of the pro-Israel Lobby (particularly AIPAC) in the USA and the situation in the Middle East.
The first episode of this Dutch documentary (the video is in English) series about the Israel lobby allows several interesting opinion makers to speak on the future of the American and Israel relationship and the reception of John Mearsheimer's and Steve Walt's controversial article 'The Israel Lobby and US foreign policy'.
Featuring interviews with John Mearsheimer, Lawrence Wikerson (cofounder of the 'Christians United for Israel'), Neocon - Richard Perle, historian and critic Tony Judt, lobbying group John Hagee, former Congressman Earl Hilliard, Kenneth Roth of Human Rights Watch, Michael Massing and Daniel Levy.

Have a happy 'Tax Day'!
Update: The clip which had a link to a problematic link was removed and now replaced with links to the original source of the video where you can watch a clean copy of the same.
As they say, it is 'better late than never' to admit a mistake but I had no intentions to link to any Nazi or like websites. My intention was to give the readers an easy access to watch the documentary without leaving DK. I've watched the original video from the source (which is of course clean), and when I found the clip on Google and YouTube I never thought that I should watch the whole thing again.
Anyway, I'm happy to know that more people watch the original content of the documentary, contrary to those minority who went around focusing their critic on web links that appeared in it rather than addressing the main subject. It is obvious that some people would always look for something to distract the attention from the main subject here, which is pro-Israel lobby and AIPAC.
