A panel  discusses the influence lobbyists for Israel have in the United 
States and how  this may have affected attitudes toward the conflict between 
Israel and  Hezbollah in Lebanon.

The panel features Stephen Walt and John  Mearsheimer, who wrote an article 
in the March _London Review of Books_ 
(http://www.lrb.co.uk/v28/n06/mear01_.html)  that raised questions about the  power the Israel lobby wields over U.S. 
foreign policy, saying that the  lobbyists try to prevent criticism by claiming 
anti-Semitism. Their article was  also the cover story in the July-August 
issue of _Foreign Policy Magazine_ 
(http://www.foreignpolicy.com/story/cms.php?story_id=3506) .

The  forum may be VIEWED LIVE on C-SPAN's _main  channel_ 
(http://www.c-span.org/)  or ONLINE
