U.S. financial, military, and diplomatic
support for Israel has grown significantly and steadily
throughout the past 60 years and now dwarfs annual
American foreign assistance to all other nations.
Research indicates the U.S.-Israel "special
relationship" is a major factor in foreign hostility
towards Americans. Some experts suggest that Israel has
been central to U.S. wars in the Middle East.
However, the huge public backlash against Israel lobby-generated momentum for U.S. attacks on Syria and Iran indicates that Americans are concerned about the direction of U.S. foreign policy, how it is made, and those trying to make it. Despite such concerns, Congress has not examined the impact of Israel lobbying influence on overall U.S. national security and international standing since the 1960s. The time has therefore come for an expert inquiry with broad American citizen participation.
