For those who asked me, no, I am not taking part in the debate on the Israeli lobby in San Francisco, although an invitation has gone out with my name. I have sent my disagreement with the latest phrasing of the debate statement; I do think that the Israeli lobby is dominant. I never said otherwise. I just don't think that the Israeli lobby is the sole determinant of US foreign policy in the Middle East. I was willing to debate that thesis, as I told the organizers. My position on the lobby is here.
