Our feature presentation today is a speech given at the spring conference of the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs (WRMEA) by Professor John Mearsheimer. It is an assessment of the gradually waning power of the massive Israeli Lobby today. Mearsheimer is author, with Stephen Walt, of The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy (Harvard, 2007). He is introduced by WRMEA's Janet McMahon.

Before this, we start with a brief report from The Real News Network: an interview with German Reporter Shir Hever, who has studied the use of Israeli weaponry along its so-called "border" with Gaza. "Dumdum" bullets, prohibited since World War I, fired at short range from special high-powered sniper guns, are suddenly OK for Israeli attacks on protesters within Gaza. Dumdum bullets explode as they enter the victim's body, tearing flesh and deliberately causing massive wounds. How dare they protest! So far, over a hundred protesters murdered in cold blood and thousands gravely injured.
