The Posner Show
Sarah Posner (Religion Dispatches, God's Profits) and Brent E. Sasley (University of Texas at Arlington, Mideast Matrix, Open Zion)
On The Posner Show, Sarah talks with Brent about how "pro-Israel" groups have dominated the debate over the Hagel nomination. Brent argues their dominance is due, in part, to the de-democratization of American Jewish organizations. Is the term "Jewish lobby" anti-Semitic, and is the term "Israel lobby" even accurate? Brent and Sarah discuss the role of Christian Zionists. What should we make of Rand Paul's trip to Israel? Plus: Can we talk about the Palestinians?
