The Israel Lobby
50min
Made in 2006, this is a journalistic documentary produced for the Dutch journal Tegenlicht (Backlight). It is comprised of a series of interviews and media clips staged to investigate the sources of the Israel Lobby and demonstrate its incredible strength. It seems that this report hopes to join the fringe group that is fighting to break down the taboo of even debating the Israel Lobby, let alone opposing it.
I found the interviews with Judt and Wilkerson very intriguing. Although the argument that I support is covered well in the program, it would not have hurt if the producers had included more "devil's advocate" material and allowed pro-Lobby figures better to substantiate their claims. Or maybe they tried to, and the strongest substantiation they found was the hollow statements and smug looks shown.
