1/ Caught up in a thread where Al-Jazeera's The Lobby is cited, I think about its omnipresence in anti-Israel social media.

2/ I have a theory about The Lobby which is shown almost daily on Corbynist social media as evidence of Israeli hegemony in the UK. Anyone who sees it knows they are looking at a young, drunk person showing off, which they may have seen in other walks of life.

3/ They know that it's normal for an embassy to put money behind the bar for student visits & that Sir Alan Duncan is alive & well. They also know that the Al-Jazeera films can be inflated into a Protocols like document about Israeli domination & understand its value to this end.

4/ Insignificant though the disclosures may be, The Lobby is put to work, an asset to anti-Israel or anti-Jewish causes of both left & right, a thesis about Jewish interference fit to impress cranks & the dangerously naive.
