What argument does Mearsheimer make in "The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy"?

  • Israeli lobby has minimal influence

  • Israeli lobby wields disproportionate influence over U.S. foreign policy

  • Israeli Lobby doesn't exist

  • Israeli lobby is beneficial for US

Answer

Mearsheimer and Walt argue that the Israeli lobby wields disproportionate influence over U.S. foreign policy, particularly in the Middle East. They argue that this influence is due to a number of factors, including the large number of American Jews, the financial resources of the pro-Israel lobby, and the support of powerful politicians and interest groups.
