The United States and Israel during George W. Bush's Presidency

Many false ideas are circulating on the political, economic and cultural influence of American Jews. They are not very numerous. barely 2% of the population. Well integrated into the society, they participate actively in political life. The main Jewish organizations form a lobby, which is legal, that benefits from the support of evangelical Protestants. Opposite the pro-Israeli lobby is the pro-Arab one. Public opinion, Congress, and the presidency express their sympathies with Israel without hesitation, and all the more freely as they are convinced that national interest and sympathies converge. Today, Iraq and even more so Iran are the subjects of serious concern. Thus, George W. Bush, at the end of his second term, is trying to push forward the Middle East peace process to gather the States that fear Shiite or Sunnite Islamism.
