 | The neutrality of this article is disputed. |
Jewish lobby is a neologism used in recent political discourse referring to the existence of a Jewish ethnic group exercising unwarranted influence on the US and other Western governments.[1][2][3]
Tariq Ramadan denotes the discourse on the "manipulative hand of the 'Jewish lobby'" as anti-Semitic language and asks "Muslim voices" to set themselves apart. [4] Mark Strauss links the term's usage to a sentiment present in the Anti-globalization movement.[5] The Washington Times qualifies John Mearsheimer's and Stephen Walt's usage of the term as the "recycling of old canards", inviting "authentic anti-Semites out of the shadows,"[6] whereas the Guardian's David Hirsh feels that it indicates a lack of "care, thought" and "self-education," commenting on Chris Davies, MEP for the northwest of England. Davies resigned after having used the slur in an e-mail considered inappropriate by the public and the Liberal Democrats.[7]
Madeleine Albright noted to the Council on Foreign Relations that she sees "linkage between the Christian evangelicals and a lot of part of the Jewish lobby, if you want to call it that, because the Christian evangelicals in reading the Bible believe that Israel has to be—the people of Israel have to be free so that the Messiah can come back."[8] She does cautions that "it’s very easy to get on this tack all of a sudden that it’s some kind of an overly powerful Jewish lobby. There are other lobbies that are very strong, and Washington is full of lobbyists."[8]
