Get the book, ISRAEL'S LOBBY: America in the Grip of a Foreign Power, by Eli Clifton and Ian Lustick: bookshop.org/p/books/israel-s-lobby-america-in-the-grip-of-a-foreign-power-eli-clifton/16ed5a856e6a2af0?ean=9781668210840&affiliate=95814
The greatest story in geopolitics and in American domestic affairs is how the far-right government of a small Middle Eastern country came to hold a controlling interest in United States foreign policy
An unflinching exposé of Israel's Lobby, showing how its outsized influence works against our national interests and threatens our freedom.
Israel's lobby is now in a position to police the speech of American politicians, college students and journalists, and coerce and persuade the White House to back unpopular, costly, and ultimately national security-threatening policies. From the Biden administration's unwillingness to bring American leverage to bear on ending genocidal violence that only harmed our national security interests, to the Trump administration's role in lifting parole restrictions on a spy who had sold vital government secrets, American subservience to its putative client state, Israel, is a vivid and vexing example of the tail wagging the dog.
ISRAEL'S LOBBY combines investigative journalism and political science to tie together the stories of American and Israeli oligarchs capturing the policymaking process across successive presidential administrations. Eli Clifton and Ian Lustick explain how shifts in global politics, Israel's lurch to the extreme right, and the evisceration of American campaign finance laws make the influence of Israel's lobby more costly and more dangerous today than ever before — why the lobby launched an antisemitism witch hunt to suppress opponents rather than defend Israel's policies, and how the Lobby not only distorts American policy but helps make Israel a "crazy" state.
ISRAEL'S LOBBY follows the money and lifts the veil on a seemingly unassailable feature of American politics, detailing how we can unite around traditional American values and substantive debate to resist Israel-first vigilantism.
"Eli Clifton and Ian Lustick have done a great job explaining to Americans what it really means to be America First." — Rep. (ret.) Ron Paul
"The Lobby they document is bigger than the NRA, more disciplined than almost any domestic interest group, and operating in direct contradiction to what the American public wants." — Former Speaker of the Knesset, Avraham Burg
