This Tuesday, Sept. 18, the authors of the controversial article “The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy” will discuss their theory as part of the Hammer Museum’s forum series.
The article by John J. Mearsheimer of the University of Chicago and Stephen M. Walt of Harvard’s John F. Kennedy School of Government, was one of the most controversial in recent memory. Originally published in the London Review of Books in March 2006, it provoked both howls of outrage and cheers of gratitude for challenging what had been a taboo issue in America.
The forum begins at 7 p.m. and is free to the public. The Hammer is located at 10899 Wilshire Blvd.
Current social and political issues are addressed in this ongoing series of lectures, conversations, performances, and panel discussions For more information, call (310) 443-7000
