The article focuses on two developments which have caused the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) to be the object of unwanted attention. One is the espionage case in which former AIPAC officials Steven J. Rosen and Keith Weissman have been charged with violating the 1917 Espionage Act by receiving and transmitting national defense information. Intensifying the spotlight on AIPAC's activities has been the paper written by professors John Mearsheimer of the University of Chicago and Stephen Walt of the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard. The article, entitled "The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy," asserts that Washington's unwavering support of Israel has jeopardized American security.
