The recent paper, "The Israel Lobby" by John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt of Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, has sparked considerable outrage and controversy and a flurry of responses in newspapers ranging from Forward to the NY Sun. One of the more interesting critiques is that by Joseph Massad, Professor of modern Arab politics and intellectual history at Columbia, who was a prime target of the David Horowitz attack on those liberal academics whom he charged with violating students' academic freedom.

Web sites for both the full article and Massad's response are posted above.
