Memo to ’60 Minutes’ Producers: Take ‘The Israel Lobby’ to the Israel Lobby

To the guys and gals of Black Rock:
Respectfully, it's just a matter of time before you do the Walt & Mearsheimer story. It's just too important, and every week that goes by it becomes less radioactive and more conventional-wisdom. Also, after November, the story won't be quite as hot-button (or, sadly, as relevant) as it is now.
Yesterday I mentioned that W & M are going to Hebrew University next week, as Marty Peretz has helpfully reminded us. That should be a wild time. I expect them to be treated with respect at the school Judah Magnes founded.
And here's another angle you'd have to jump on now. AIPAC is holding its annual policy conference in Washington, June 2-4. A lot of passionate Jews, a lot of well-heeled lobbyists, a lot of people who hold no brief for Walt and Mearsheimer. You should send a producer over to the conference with a copy of the book. Have him–her, sorry!–just walk around with it and get a reaction. Or you could go up to folks and ask them about the book. You'd be sure to get some interesting reaction shots. Classic 60.
