Morning all.

I found the 2006 article, tho the comments have disappeared , and they don't appear to have them any more..
The Israel Lobby and its Discontents
Salim Muwakkil April 8, 2006
https://inthesetimes.com/article/the-is ... iscontents
""A working paper by John Mearsheimer of the University of Chicago and Stephen Walt of Harvard University, titled ​“The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy,” has provoked a furious response from critics, and – in an eerie confirmation of the paper’s point – seems to have led to the demotion of one of its authors. ""

The magazine is still going strong, as progressive as ever !

As a Scotland rugby fan I must say I'm slightly crapping myself today. It could be a day of glory or a complete bust. They've been brilliant and terrible in almost equal measure so god knows what's going to happen against the Irish. If, and that's a big if given our record in Dublin, we beat the Irish then Scotland rugby supporters will be in the perverse position of having to cheer on England against the French. Which would just be wrong.

I'm sure America's 'allies' will just be queuing up to send ships, after this rousing message
