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. Free at https://annas-archive.org
My first name is apparently of Hebrew origin, according to some. It means 'to usurp'. I, however, as far as I understand, am French Canadian (Algonquin) and Romanian. I was raised Catholic, but as the saying goes, it didn't quite 'take'. My best trusted advisors have come to be plants and trees, as medicines. Re the topic you covered, I mention all that because I think it's funny how if you really acknowledge all your past, what you may know of it, anyway, most of us are incredibly and unfathomably mixed. Many lives have led us to our current identity, and it seems to be a mutable thing in ways. Nonetheless, we naturally and culturally commit to certain identities along the way of our souls journey. The human condition.
