I can also tell you that very few members of Congress—at least when I served there—have any affection for Israel or for its Lobby. What they have is contempt, but it is silenced by fear of being found out exactly how they feel. I've heard too many cloakroom conversations in which members of the Senate will voice their bitter feelings about how they're pushed around by the Lobby to think otherwise.

  • The Columbia Journalism Review Calls the Award-Winning Writer
    The Columbia Journalism Review calls the award-winning writer Jeffrey Goldberg this country’s “most influential journalist/blogger on matters related to Israel.” The New York Times refers to Goldberg as the “well-known mensch-about-town in Washington,” widely-recognized for his many appearances on shows ranging from Meet the Press to The Colbert Report to Al Jazeera news broadcasts from the Middle East. Goldberg, a National Correspondent for The Atlantic, is also considered to be one of our country’s preeminent experts on terrorism and Islamic fundamentalism. His groundbreaking reporting on the Iranian-sponsored terrorist group Hezbollah won the National Magazine Award, the highest honor in magazine journalism. His work has taken him to Syria, the Gaza Strip, Kashmir, Afghanistan and Pakistan, where he lived for a month in a radical Muslim seminary. He has interviewed leaders of al-Qaeda, Hezbollah, Hamas and Islamic Jihad, and he participated in the only summit meeting ever to take place between Americans and the leaders of the Taliban. He has met with leaders across the globe. Most recently, he spent a week in Havana with Fidel Castro, who told Goldberg in an explosive interview broadcast around the world, the Cuban Revolution had failed to achieve its goals. Before joining The Atlantic in 2007, Goldberg served as Middle East correspondent, and then Washington correspondent, for The New Yorker. Before that, he was a writer for The New York Times Magazine. He began his career as a columnist for The Jerusalem Post. He lived in Israel for several years, where he served in the Israel Defense Forces.

  • American Voters' Choice Is Between Clinton's Liberal Internationalism
    American voters’ choice is between Clinton’s liberal internationalism and Trump’s offensive realism. Who wins in November matters to the world. blogs.lse.ac.uk/usappblog/2016/07/29/american-voters-choice-is-between-clintons-liberal-internationalism-and-trumps-offensive-realism-who-wins-in-november-matters-to-the-world/ American elections are not won or lost on foreign policy issues. Yet, the foreign policy beliefs and strategic ideas of whoever moves into the White House next January will have repercussions which will be felt around the world for years to come. Nicholas Kitchen writes that Hillary Clinton is a liberal internationalist – the dominant strategic approach across post-War American Presidents. Donald Trump, on the other hand, represents long-banished ideas of American nationalism and isolationism, with a new twist – a focus not on maximising American security, but on maximising American power. American elections are seldom about foreign policy, at least for the American electorate. But for the rest of the world, the foreign policy positions of Presidential candidates – and we now know for sure who they will be – matter. A lot. This is slightly curious for much International Relations (IR) theory, which is generally unwilling to open up the black box of the state and delve into the complexity that lies within. This is a mistake, particularly when it comes to those states that really matter: what they think, and how they understand the world, affects how they make it. Shocks like wars, economic crises or social upheaval can see old ways of thinking replaced by new ideas. The international system exerts pressures of course, but for the most powerful, dominant ideas determine grand strategy.

  • Riding to the Rescue
    Riding to the rescue Marty Trillhaase/Lewiston Tribune CHEERS ... to Idaho state schools Superintendent Sherri Ybarra. Give her credit for this much: She has surrounded herself with a talented staff. Among them are her interim chief deputy Pete Koehler, who earlier pulled the Nampa School District out of a deep financial hole, and her chief technology officer, William Goodman, who had been director of technology at Mountain Home and president of the Idaho Education Technology Association. That's in stark contrast to Ybarra's predecessor, Tom Luna, who prized political acumen above all else. With Gov. C.L. (Butch) Otter's mismanagement, the $60 million Idaho Education Network is in tatters. Legislative budget-writers turned to Ybarra's office to resuscitate broadband for the schools. Goodman's technical skill and knowledge of the classroom earned him credibility with lawmakers. With just weeks to pull it off, Goodman and his team managed to help line up broadband for 129 different school districts, charters and education programs across the state - all without disrupting any student's education. Seeking out alternatives to IEN contractors Education Networks of America and CenuryLink allowed schools to save 37 percent. And because some schools picked up additional bandwidth, the cost per megabit dropped 61 percent. At a time when Idaho was desperate for competence in government, Ybarra came through. JEERS ... to U.S. Sens. Jim Risch and Mike Crapo, R-Idaho. Risch has spent six years on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

  • THIS IS YOUR BRAIN on AHMADINEJAD Or What Is Brain Imaging?
    1 THIS IS YOUR BRAIN ON AHMADINEJAD Or What Is Brain Imaging? n the spring of 2008, the folks at FKF Applied Research—the Ipo liti cal con sul tants and neuroscientists behind the aforementioned swing- voter study— were at it again. This time they took journalist Jeffrey Goldberg of the Atlantic on a guided tour of his brain. The idea had been hatched at a family Passover seder at which Goldberg had spent the eve ning “issuing a series of ideologically contradictory, Manischewitz- fueled po liti cal pronouncements.” Fortunately for sci- ence, Bill Knapp, a po liti cal consul tant and cofound er of FKF, was one of the seder guests. He suggested that if Goldberg wanted to get to the bottom of his confusion, he should submit to a brain scan to learn whether he was “neurologically wired for liberalism or conser- vatism.” As Goldberg understood the pro cess, researchers would mea sure his brain’s responses to a series of images of famous politi- cians to uncover the truth about his “actual inclinations and predis- positions by sidestepping the usual inhibition controls that can make focus- group testing unreliable.”1 When Goldberg arrived at the facility, he was slid faceup into the mouth of a sleek MRI machine and asked to lie as still as a ca- daver lest movement disrupt the readings. Despite noise-dampening 1 2 BRAINWASHED headphones, Goldberg could still hear the magnet in the state- of- the- art fMRI machine as it scanned his brain, a racket that’s been likened to the sound of metal- cleated golf shoes tumbling in a clothes dryer followed by a long period of high- pitched pinging.2 The re- searchers had fi tted him with video goggles through which they fl ashed scores of photographs and fi lm clips of cultural and po liti cal celebrities, including John McCain, Edie Falco, Golda Meir, Barack Obama, Yasser Arafat, Bruce Springsteen, George W.

  • The Obama Doctrine and the Arab Spring
    The Politics of Policy: The Obama Doctrine and the Arab Spring Hannah Tyler History 436: America in the Middle East December 12, 2016 Tyler 2 Abstract: The purpose of the paper is to examine the Obama Doctrine and establish a clearer definition of what it is by contextualizing it through the lens of other presidential doctrines, the schools of realism and idealism. In addition, it seeks to establish specific tenets of the Obama Doctrine, as well as identify the contradictions present within the Obama Doctrine. I will then examine Obama’s arc of disenchantment with the Arab Spring, explaining how his arc of disenchantment affected the way he made policy regarding the Middle East. The Obama Doctrine is a contentious topic in the scholarly world. In the stacks of Fondren Library, books about Obama span an entire shelf; many of them are dedicated to the Obama Doctrine and figuring out what it is. In one of these books, Barack Obama’s Post-American Foreign Policy, Robert Singh dedicates an entire chapter simply to trying to put a label on Obama and his foreign policy; the chapter is titled “‘I’ve Got A Confusion on Obama’: Cosmopolitan, Liberal Internationalist, Realist, Reaganite, Leftist?”1 Scholars often compare the Obama Doctrine to other doctrines such as the Bush Doctrine and the Eisenhower Doctrine, and posit that these doctrines were much more clear-cut than the Obama Doctrine is; there is more literature dedicated to figuring out the Obama Doctrine than there are most other presidential doctrines. In my paper, I will examine the Obama Doctrine, especially as it applies to the Middle East, and explore some of its intricacies, and then examine the way that the Arab Spring changed the Obama Doctrine.

  • Syria & the CNN Effect: What Role Does the Media Play in Policy
    Syria & the CNN Effect: What Role Does the Media Play in Policy-Making? Lyse Doucet Abstract: Syria’s devastating war unfolds during unprecedented flows of imagery on social media, test- ing in new ways the media’s influence on decision-makers. Three decades ago, the concept of a “CNN Effect” was coined to explain what was seen as the power of real-time television reporting to drive responses to humanitarian crises. This essay explores the role traditional and new media played in U.S. policy-making during Syria’s crisis, including two major poison gas attacks. President Obama stepped back from the targeted air strikes later launched by President Trump after grisly images emerged on social media. But Trump’s limited action did not shift policy. Interviews with Obama’s senior advisors underline that the me- dia do not drive strategy, but they play a significant role. During the Syrian crisis, the media formed part of what officials describe as constant pressure from many actors to respond, which they say led to policy failures. Syria’s conflict is a cautionary tale.

  • Congress and Israel”
    Council for the National Interest (CNI) Public Hearing on Capitol Hill May 29, 2008 John Mearsheimer’s Comments “Congress and Israel” I would like to thank the Council for the National Interest for organizing this event and inviting me to speak along with such distinguished and brave speakers as Uri Avnery, Menachem Klein, and Edward Peck. I would also like to thank all of you for coming out to hear us speak. It is widely recognized that the US is in serious trouble in the Middle East. Therefore, one would expect Congress to be holding hearings to determine what has gone wrong in that strategically important region, and what might be done to fix the problems we face. In particular, one would expect Congress to examine American policy toward Israel. After all, the US-Israel relationship, to quote from a recent AIPAC press release, “is the keystone of America’s policy in the Middle East.” But such hearings are not taking place and will not happen in the foreseeable future. We all know the reason why, although few of you will say it publicly. The Israel lobby, which is probably the most powerful interest group in Washington today, and certainly the most influential foreign-policy interest group in American history, will not allow either the House or the Senate to critically examine the “special relationship” between Israel and the US which it has worked long and hard to build. Instead, the lobby demands that legislators support Israel generously and unconditionally, and the lobby usually gets what it wants. Of course, anyone who says that the Israel lobby profoundly influences US Middle East policy is likely to be called an anti-Semite or some other terrible name.

  • Terrorist and Organized Crime Groups in the Tri-Border Area (Tba) of South America
    TERRORIST AND ORGANIZED CRIME GROUPS IN THE TRI-BORDER AREA (TBA) OF SOUTH AMERICA A Report Prepared by the Federal Research Division, Library of Congress under an Interagency Agreement with the Crime and Narcotics Center Director of Central Intelligence July 2003 (Revised December 2010) Author: Rex Hudson Project Manager: Glenn Curtis Federal Research Division Library of Congress Washington, D.C. 205404840 Tel: 2027073900 Fax: 2027073920 E-Mail: [email protected] Homepage: http://loc.gov/rr/frd/ p 55 Years of Service to the Federal Government p 1948 – 2003 Library of Congress – Federal Research Division Tri-Border Area (TBA) PREFACE This report assesses the activities of organized crime groups, terrorist groups, and narcotics traffickers in general in the Tri-Border Area (TBA) of Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay, focusing mainly on the period since 1999. Some of the related topics discussed, such as governmental and police corruption and anti–money-laundering laws, may also apply in part to the three TBA countries in general in addition to the TBA. This is unavoidable because the TBA cannot be discussed entirely as an isolated entity. Based entirely on open sources, this assessment has made extensive use of books, journal articles, and other reports available in the Library of Congress collections. It is based in part on the author’s earlier research paper entitled “Narcotics-Funded Terrorist/Extremist Groups in Latin America” (May 2002). It has also made extensive use of sources available on the Internet, including Argentine, Brazilian, and Paraguayan newspaper articles. One of the most relevant Spanish-language sources used for this assessment was Mariano César Bartolomé’s paper entitled Amenazas a la seguridad de los estados: La triple frontera como ‘área gris’ en el cono sur americano [Threats to the Security of States: The Triborder as a ‘Grey Area’ in the Southern Cone of South America] (2001).

AN ANALYSIS OF HEZBOLLAH’S USE OF IRREGULAR WARFARE by STEPHEN KEITH MULHERN, B.A. Political Science THESIS Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at El Paso in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE Intelligence and National Security Studies Program THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT EL PASO December 2012 Acknowledgements I would like to thank: Drs. Larry Valero, Charles Boehmer, and William Dean for taking the time to be part of this thesis. Lisa Tomaka, Nicholas Komorowski, and Dr. Dennis Soden for giving me a productive and supportive workplace. And my parents, Michael and Linda Mulhern, for giving me the parental support to finish this work. v Abstract Low-intensity conflicts and insurgencies have been on the rise since the end of World War II. A particularly strong example of these conflicts is the ongoing conflict between the Lebanese Hezbollah and the state of Israel. In the course of the conflict, Hezbollah was able to accomplish what other, more powerful Arab states could not; Hezbollah forced Israel to unilaterally end a conflict. How did Hezbollah accomplish this? This thesis will provide a qualitative analysis of Hezbollah’s use of the instruments of power in their irregular warfare strategy against Israel during the occupation of southern Lebanon.
