In addition to Joseph Mossad's critique, another interesting
critique can be found at the Angry Arab New Service blog:

It is also interesting to note that the Kennedy School of Government
has been seeking to distant itself from Mearsheimer & Walt's article,
apparently under pressure from wealthy donors to Harvard.

Also of interest, Professor Mearsheimer says that "The Israel Lobby"
was originally commissioned by a prominent American magazine
which decided that the issue was too hot for them to handle.
