JazakAlLah for making me aware of this documentary, this is a must see for all that are interested in finding out more about the Jewish Lobby and how it influences US policy both internal and external. The co- ordination of AIPAC and the way they execute themselves should be used as an example for us Muslims and MPAC in particular. The documentary is 60 min long and has some great interviews. How can we ensure that This is viewed by the masses? Salaam Khalid

Shocking to say the least.If this is what the Lobby is all about then it should be banned and the members arrested for inciting hatred. This is unAmerican, The day America chose Israel as its friend then humanity took a back seat. The brutality of Israel is all due to this lobby, since this lobby acts only to support Israel no matter what. It is like being given a license to kill. This has alienated America from the rest of the world. The Americans are being taken for a ride by this lobby.It is time this group is exposed.

This is a political bomb which has totally exposed the Israeli Lobby.
Why was this not created in the UK or USA? What did they have to fear? The Israel Lobby? This documentary must be shown to every single person to show why Britain went to war and MPACUK must ensure it exposes the Israel Lobby within the UK!!

This is dynamite, and finally proves if we go to war, Israel and its lobby would have made it happen!
Sadly not single Mosque would have talked about this major issue this Friday! Disgusted that so few people ill get to watch this, every Muslim man and woman on earth should see this!

Why are the Mosques not playing this in every hall! Shame on our Leaders. Everyone needs to see this!
If Iran goes up in smoke its because Muslim Leaders did not inform us of how to counter this evil organised lobby.

Its probably an ignorant Muslim electorate that has elected most of these people and allows them to get away with this!
Muslim scholars - wake up and teach us our responsibility!

Well done MPAC. This shows the cancerous way that Zionists take control of governments such as America. It is not that America chose to become a friend of Israel but rather that the Zionists get themselves into powerful places and they gradually pull their power to Israel. By the time anyone realises, it is too late.
I have no doubt that there are such people at work here in our country for sadly Zionism is a cancer for which there is no cure, it spreads with its greed for power and Israel is at its heart.

Yep kinda confirmed what we knew already. BBC's Panorama showed how the American Enterprise Institute (Richard Perle is affiliated) was full of neocon activists with suspiciously strong Israeli accents! Also Perle, Abrams, Feith, Wolfowitz etc were also involved inthe Project For A New American Century document. Mearsheimer & Walt are brave men to speak out.

Let me get this straight
There are 1.5 billion Muslims in the world. There are 30 million Jews. The Jews have no oil and one tiny country the size of Wales, the Muslims control much of the worldēs oil wealth. Yet these Jews, manage to control the world, even thuogh there are hundreds of Muslims for every Jew. If this is true, then Muslims must be very stupid, or Jews must be a race of super-beings. Or, this is just a conspiracy theory to cover the fact that Muslims arenēt doing welll and need someone else to blame thier problems on.

to 50 pounds50; are cone OR stupid, its not about numbers this is A racist way of NOT telling the truth, it has been said befor tat India in 1947 was about 500million and the British were about 30 millions, woul that make them stupid ? definately not, But the TRUTH which you can not see OR say is that the Jews has the US Treasury, the Zionist Israeli/ American ! LOBBY and the F15 , F16, by which they bomb the definec-less Palestinain civilian, YET had the palestinain had one 1/3 OR even 1/10 the zionist Money (including the stupid Arab oil money in the American zionist banks) for SURE they would have liberated their palesine from the sea to the river, and would have sent home the zionist illegal kellers like the Polish Simon perez back home after standing in international court in cotrast to the American sionist driven politics that awarded S. Perez - who killed much more than Milosovic _ the un--nobile (N)obile peace ! prize, to be with like of Mandela, Arafat Martine Luther King the victimes of the like of S. Perez, the Polish terrorist Manaheim Begin and the racist white European in south Africa, and those who wiped out the red indian and the Abrogenis and the Tazmanian and finally the Diego Garcia people of the indian ocean and Finally the 1) TRUTH will educate you and purify yor racism. What ashame in the age of the 2) internet, I hope U do not hate 1 & 2 like the Zionists.

Hey Guys,
Let's be totally paranoid and try to blame the zionists for everything. Why are muslims backwards and poor? The zionists. Why have muslims made no positive contributions to society in the past 500 years? The zionists!! Why is Israel so much more successful than every decrepit Muslim country? Can i still say the zionists? Let's go blow ourselves up!! Who's with me??

The israel lobby has no real power.
Its only powerful to the extent its useful to US power. If I am wrong then put on a tie an visit the hq of lockheed martin or boeing etc and explain it to them instead of showin the vid on an internet sight. The reason is otherwise its making millions and has a milaterised country in the heart of the worlds nergy producing region

Who has always tried to chop up and divide middle eastern muslim countries before Israel was even created? (14) 2007-04-22 19:25:08 Asked Sceptical - the answers, my friend, are simple. Please, please look at your history books - the answers are there. "Why was Israel created in the middle east in the first place?" you ask. The Jewish people have been in the area, Judea, Sumaria, Israel, for over four thousand years, long before the Arabs.The Jewish year is 5768, the Christian year is 2007 (from birth of Jesus in Bethlehem, a Jewish town, of Jewish parents)and the Islamic year is 1429 (since its founding). The Jewish people, religion and indeed race, yes the Jews are a race, have been on this earth and in the Land of Israel, which is in the middle east, thousands of years before Arabs and Islam. Israel's rebirth was not as a result of "chopping up" as you say,Muslim countries - there has always been a Jewish presence in the Land of Israel, ever since the Roman conquest and the Rome's renaming of the area as Philistina,the Romans wished to erradicate the name of Israel & the Jewish inhabitants from the world - but you see it wasn't succesful. All the Jews have ever wished and prayed for throughout thousands of years (long before any Muslim entity)was to return to their land, Israel. Allow Israel to live in peace, without terrorist attacks and threats of anihilation by Muslim states, and it will help its neighbours to flourish as it has done. Where the Jews have succeeded, they will also assist their Arab neighbours to. THESE ARE THE HISTORICAL FACTS - seek knowledge and you will find. Shalom & salem.

Hello all,
You should all read "The Israel Lobby & US Foreign Policy" written by the key interviewee John J Mearsheimer and Stephen M Walt.

The video makes some interesting points about the lobby, but I can't believe that the authors of that paper dismiss the influence of the oil lobby so flimsily. The oil lobby controls the success of a gigantic amount of the US economy and so surely is far more powerful than the Israel lobby? And surely if any lobby was responsible it was big oil money responsible for war in Iraq?
Anyway, I think MPAC has ensured that this case is taken slightly less seriously by posting a version of the video whose subtitles at the end tell you to visit a website which (when you delete the end of the url having googled it and just view the mainpage) also claims to be selling you products which will enable you to live forever, give you psychic powers... elsewhere a website link from the front page claims that you can cure terminal cancer in 24 hours without chemotherapy...

Or, this is just a conspiracy theory to cover the fact that Muslims arenēt doing welll and need someone else to blame thier problems on. The way Bill Gates runs his company - with few strong men and women united at top, to rule them all. They have a UNITED FRONT. Same with the Lobby - Because they have ONE agenda, fighting for ONE agenda, united to make this AGENDA a possibility, no matter what. They've pushed their differences aside and all aim and fire for the sake of Isreal. They are fighting for something. Not so with my fellow Muslims. They do not unite to one agenda, they are divided over and they are their own enemies, and they there's so Muslim organisations, and so many leaders, no one knows who is who and who speaks for the Muslims. So...they fight each other. Until the Ummah see how serious it is to come together as one, and become part of a ONE UNITED FORCE and become ORGANISED with just one call, one word - we got no chance. This means - push ALL differences aside, the focal point is Allah SWT, Muhammad (SAW) and to be united and not be afraid like many politicians and senates of losing anything. And if that happens, the Lobby has lost because there is nothing they can scare the Muslims with. Nothing because the Muslims then have become a force in which they don't care about duniyah, but rather, to implement, to be one body and do what Allah told them to do. "There be so many but they will be weak. They be like froth on sea. Easily pushed aside." Said Muhammad. "But how, when they are so many?" said the companion to Muhammad (SAW) "They love life more then death." Meaning, they are attached to this world, scared to lose their material wealth, power, clothes, cars, jobs but this is how the LObby gets these Senates and sqeueezes them dry.

Failing to Plan, is planning for failure. They were strategic, they were organised, they were united, drived by strong leadership. They understood warfare psychology, they understood the tactics and strategies of modern business and warfare. muslims, looking to become more Strategic, understand psychological leadership strategies,chek out : the-empowerment-temple.com
