Lobbying for Zionism on Both Sides of the
Atlantic
By Ilan Pappe
Revealed:
How pro-Israel lobbying groups influence the Middle East policies of Britain,
the US and others In 1896, a Jewish state was a pipe dream. Today the
overwhelming majority of Jews identify as Zionists. How did this happen? Ilan
Pappe unveils how over a century of aggressive lobbying changed the map of the
Middle East. Pro-Israel lobbies convinced British and American policymakers to
condone Israel’s flagrant breaches of international law, grant Israel
unprecedented military aid and deny Palestinians rights. Anyone who questioned
unconditional support for Israel, even in the mildest terms, became the target
of relentless smear campaigns. Lobbying for Zionism on Both Sides of the
Atlantic shows us how an unassailable consensus was built – and how it might be
dismantled.
