US--Israel ties, the sequel

Back on March 18 of this year I suggested reading an article which postulated that the Israel lobby (AIPAC) exerts an inordinately large influence on the US government. It was published in the London Review of Books. Yesterday's WaPo Magazine contained an article which is in part rebuttal, in part backstory, and in part analysis of whether the original article was flawed in its conclusions. The author then followed up today with an online discussion. Given current events in Israel and Lebanon (which blew up after the article had been written), both are interesting reads.
