The first book to speak out against the pervasive influence of the
American-Israeli Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) on American
politics, policy, and institutions resonates today as never before.
With careful documentation and specific case histories, former
congressman Paul Findley demonstrates how the Israel lobby helps to
shape important aspects of U.S. foreign policy and influences
congressional, senatorial, and even presidential elections.
Described are the undue influence AIPAC exerts in the Senate and
the House and the pressure AIPAC brings to bear on university
professors and journalists who seem too sympathetic to Arab and
Islamic states and too critical of Israel and its policies. Along
with many longtime outspoken critics, new voices speaking out
include former President Jimmy Carter, U.S. Representative Cynthia
McKinney, Senator Robert Byrd, prominent Arab-American Dr. Ziad
Asali, Rabbi Michael Lerner, and journalist Charles Reese. In
addition, the lack of open debate among politicians with regard to
the U.S. policy in the Middle East is lamented, and AIPAC is blamed
in part for this censorship. Connections are drawn between
America's unconditional support of Israel and the raging
anti-American passions around the world--and ultimately the tragic
events of 9/11. This replaces 1556520735.
