The documentary sheds light on both parties involved in the discussion:

and those who were critical of it and not infrequently became ‘victims’ of the lobby.

The question arises to what extend the pro-Israel lobby ultimately determines the military and political importance of Israel itself.

Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson (Colin Powell’s former chief-of-staff)
explains how the lobby’s influence affects the decision-making structure in the White House.
