On 17 March 2026, I was on “Judging Freedom” talking with the Judge about Iran and related matters. Today is the 20th anniversary — to the day — of the publication on the internet of “The Israel Lobby” in The London Review of Books. Naturally, the Judge and I talked about the […]
Steve Walt and I originally published “The Israel Lobby” in The London Review of Books in March 2006. It was published on the internet on 17 March 2006 and then came out in a paper version on 23 March 2006. As Micahel Massing said in “The Storm over The Israel Lobby,” his […]
On 18 November 2025, I appeared on Helena Cobban’s podcast, “Gaza and the World,” to discuss the recent UN Security Council resolution — 2803 — that incorporates President Trump’s 20-point plan for dealing with Gaza. This disgraceful resolution denies the Palestinians any real path to self-determination while essentially putting Gaza […]
On 11 September 2025, I appeared on the “The Bottom Line,” an al Jazeera program hosted by Steve Clemons.

On 10 July 2025, I appeared on “Judging Freedom.” The Judge and I talked about: the the close relationship between Netanyahu and Trump (3 visits to the White House in the first 6 months of the administration); Israel’s admission that Iran still has enriched uranium after the 12-day war; and […]
The ‘idea that the U.S. has a special relationship with Israel has no parallel in recorded history tells you that something extraordinary is going on here’ he says John Mearsheimer, the University of Chicago professor, told Judge Andrew Napolitano’s “Judging Freedom” on Tuesday that the dishonesty in the mainstream news about Israel […]
On 4 February 2025, I was on Judge Napolitano’s show talking about Trump’s policies toward Israel and Ukraine. This was just before Trump announced his plan to have the U.S. military conduct another Nakba and then turn Gaza into the “Riviera of the Middle East.” So we did not discuss […]
