The first claim has nothing to do with anything I said.
The second is false; organizations like AIPAC and the ADL have by far the greatest influence on US Israeli policy and fighting BDS in particular, and are overwhelmingly Jewish dominated.
This was thoroughly documented by Mearsheimer and Walt more than a decade ago, and it's not like their influence has waned.

- kyrieeschaton 8y agoNo, Mearsheimer and Walt are very careful to not use particular words. They choose to not use "Jewish lobby", with the fig leaf that at least some Christian Zionists are on the same page and not literally every Jew is, despite the objective content of their book supporting the contention that Jewish organizations are both the most prominent and have the core agenda-setting function.
