Well, no wonder you don't know! To measure properly, first take your foot out of your mouth.

And replace it with a shoe, I assume. YOUR shoe. No, thanks.

Nice ominous music and transitions in that video. Funny, I just read the Mearshimer and Walt paper last night. You can check it out for yourselves here. Dershowitz's reply is amusing with a few serious academic points but lots of slander for the paper apparently being circulated around neo-Nazi websites.

I suppose I'm not convinced that there's a contiguous Jewish entity with an agenda for directing U.S. foreign policy... but of course there are Jews who would like to U.S. to pursue certain avenues of action (I still believe that fraudulant article about the ship carving is a good example). Maybe it's easier to swallow when you consider their disclaimer:

Not all Jewish Americans are part of the Lobby, because Israel is not a salient issue for many of them. In a 2004 survey, for example, roughly 36 per cent of American Jews said they were either ‘not very’ or ‘not at all’ emotionally attached to Israel.

That disclaimer is worth it's weight in gold.

Hm, maybe not gold, but you you get the idea.
