The Chicago Council on Global Affairs has
canceled an announced speech on the Lobby by John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt. We’re informed, from a letter by Mearsheimer and Walt, that this was done under pressure from critics who were uncomfortable with their arguments. Do you think that the Lobby would be that stupid? The ‘
Court Jews’ wouldn’t be that obvious, would they? Mearsheimer and Walt are arguing that the Lobby uses its inordinate power to censor discussion of its inordinate power, a thesis again proved by the actions of the Lobby in pressuring for more censorship. Is it possible that this odd cancellation is a publicity stunt by the publishers of the Mearsheimer/Walt book? Can’t you just see the dust-jacket blurb: “The book the J-o-o-o-o-s don’t want you to read . . .”?
