Three straight weeks in April, speakers at NYU are Walter Russell Mead on, Does Israel need a lobby in the US? a question that suggests ignorance about the very nature of Zionism/Israel (it has always depended on a superpower, going back to Herzl offering to relieve the Sultan’s European debt in exchange for Palestine); Aaron Miller on looking back on the great wonderful peace process that has produced what now?; and Itamar Rabinovitch, former ambassador for Israel, on where Israel and the US stand today–Rabinovich who recently debated Khalidi and Cohen to say that the special relationship shouldn’t end. You’d think they might have gotten one Palestinian in there?
