The Israeli and Arab Lobbies

For all of the crit­i­cism we hear of the so-called Israel Lobby, you’d think that these peo­ple would have the same feel­ings for the so-called Arab Lobby. But they don’t. Is that log­i­cally con­sis­tent?

My view, as I’ve expressed in this post, is that all sides of every issue have the right to lobby their view­points to the best of their abil­i­ties to those in power as long as they do noth­ing ille­gal, uneth­i­cal or immoral. May the best view win in the mar­ket­place of ideas.
