Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs
The Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (JINSA) is a US-based organization, "committed to explaining the need for a prudent national security policy for the United States, addressing the security requirements of both the United States and the State of Israel, and strengthening the strategic cooperation relationship between these two great democracies." It has a significant number of retired U.S. military officers as advisors, and, based on lessons from the 1973 Arab-Israeli War, presents the role Israel can play for American interests as well as securing Israel's interests. [1]
In a controversial paper on "realist" foreign policy, JINSA is described as part of the Israel Lobby, whose overall policies push Israeli interests that may be a strategic burden to the United States. [2]
