Description: Lobbying for Zionism on Both Sides of the Atlantic by Ilan Pappe The untold history of how pro-Israel lobbying groups influence US and British policy FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description At the Israel America Councils national conference in 2018, Nancy Pelosi spoke these words: If this Capitol crumbled to the ground, the one thing that would remain is our commitment to…our cooperation with Israel. That same year, pro-Israel groups and individuals spent over $22 million on lobbying and campaign contributions in the United States. The aim? To influence policy towards the Middle East, and Palestine in particular. But its not just in the US that this is happening. Though rarely discussed, similar moves are being made in the UK and elsewhere too.Renowned historian Ilan Pappe exposes the methods used to affect political decisions, media coverage, scholarly work and public opinion on Israel and Palestine. In the UK, such efforts have been linked to the debate around anti-Semitism in the Labour Party with respect to Britains role in, and responsibility for, the Palestine question. By examining the Balfour Declaration, the Suez crisis and, more recently, Britains blind dovetailing of American policy, Pappe sets present-day events in their historical context, and shows how Israel has come to stifle debate on Palestine – with devastating consequences. Author Biography Ilan Pappe is Professor of History at the Institute of Arab and Islamic Studies and Director of the European Centre for Palestine Studies at the University of Exeter.

Review A tour de force, comprehensive, authoritative and fair-minded, unveiling the lobbys politically and ethically dubious methods that have ensured unparalleled amounts of Western military aid and a shield of diplomatic immunity for the Israeli states apartheid-like policies for seventy-five years, as well as Zionist control of the global narrative about Palestine. Peter Shambrook, author of Policy of DeceitA magisterial study of the secret weapon of Zionist success in the arena of world politics — the lobby. Deeply researched and forcefully argued, this is a major contribution to the literature on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Avi Shlaim, author of Three WorldsIlan Pappe is Israels bravest, most principled, most incisive historian. -- John PilgerAll the renowned qualities of Ilan Pappes scholarship and craft as a historian are in evidence here: his comprehensiveness, his utter dedication, his command of the range of sources and material, his integrity and his humanism. Above all, this latest work on lobbying demonstrates Ilans lifelong commitment to establishing the truths necessary to enlighten citizens across the world – so that they can change it to a more just one. Professor Karma NabulsiIlan Pappe is a magnificent historian and storyteller. He narrates a chilling yet illuminating saga of the systematic denial of Palestinian history and humanity. Lobbying for Zionism on Both Sides of the Atlantic is a haunting and powerfully instructive tale of deliberate investment in injustice and obfuscation. Essential reading. Professor Ussama MakdisiFor decades, vociferous lobbying has kept Britain and Americas political classes committed to supporting Israel, according to this piercing study... Pappés fine-grained narrative weaves together many probing lines of inquiry... This offers a vital international perspective on the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine.
