Abstract
The paper addresses the United States (US) -Israel alliance, the motivations for the US support for Israel, and Israel's lobby's ability to influence internal US decisions towards Israel's interest. The paper also examines the position of the Israeli lobby in the US, as well as where it derives its influence. Furthermore, this research looks at Mearsheimer and Walt's (2006;2007) study on the Israeli lobby in the US, as well as their key principle, which suggests that a country can act against its interests in a region through supporting ethnic and religious groups, or minorities in the same region. This paper also tries to answer questions like is the US support for Israel working against the country's best interests? The paper argues that by supporting Israel, the US is not behaving against its interests. It is, on the contrary, a continuation of its regional hegemony by unwavering financial support for a strategic partner, even though this damages the US's credibility and raises anti-semitism in the region. The paper is based on Mearsheimer and Walt's (2006) analysis as well as many other international politics principles that have been extended to the global analysis of the Middle East.
