This book seeks to debunk the popular myth of an all-powerful
pro-Israel lobby. Here, Kiely demonstrates how discourses
surrounding American Identity and US foreign policy towards the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which has deep roots in American
historicity, have constructed an understanding of the conflict
which is inherently more susceptible to the Israeli narrative.
Kiely argues that the so-called power of what other researchers,
such as Mearsheimer and Walt (2006, 2007), call 'The Israel Lobby'
are limited by these discourses. It is the author's contention that
groups such as The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC)
serve to amplify and reproduce existing representations within
these discourses which align the United States and Israel in terms
of cultural, historical and political values while simultaneously
reinforcing dominant representations of the Palestinian 'Other'.
