Roger Petersen Chair, Graduate Program Committee The Golden Lariat: Explaining American Aid to Israel by Richard Kraus Submitted to the Department of Political Science on September 14, 2009 in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Political Science ABSTRACT An observational study was conducted to determine the most likely explanation of American support for Israel. Several extant hypotheses were considered, most particularly, and at greatest length, that of a pro-Israel domestic lobby in the United States, but also that it had to do with Cold War containment, common values, or precedent. It was ultimately concluded that the domestic lobby hypothesis could not account for American support, since the level of that support correlated negatively with the resources of the lobby, and because sudden, temporary changes in the level of American support did not coincide with any similar changes in the resources of the lobby.
