<p>'A<strong> tour de force, comprehensive, authoritative and fair-minded</strong>, unveiling the lobby's politically and ethically dubious methods that have ensured unparalleled amounts of Western military aid and a shield of diplomatic immunity for the Israeli state’s apartheid-like policies for seventy-five years, as well as Zionist control of the global narrative about Palestine.' <strong>Peter Shambrook, author of <em>Policy of Deceit</em></strong></p>
<p>'A <strong>magisterial study</strong> of the secret weapon of Zionist success in the arena of world politics — the lobby. Deeply researched and forcefully argued, this is <strong>a major contribution</strong> to the literature on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.' <strong>Avi Shlaim, author of <em>Three Worlds</em></strong></p>
<p>‘Ilan Pappe is Israel’s bravest, most principled, most incisive historian.’</p>
- John Pilger,
<p>'<strong>All the renowned qualities of Ilan Pappe’s scholarship and craft as a historian are in evidence here</strong>: 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 Ilan’s lifelong commitment to establishing the truths necessary to enlighten citizens across the world – so that they can change it to a more just one.' <strong>Professor Karma Nabulsi</strong></p>
<p>'Ilan Pappe is a <strong>magnificent historian and storyteller</strong>. He narrates a chilling yet illuminating saga of the systematic denial of Palestinian history and humanity. <em>Lobbying for Zionism on Both Sides of the Atlantic</em> is a haunting and powerfully instructive tale of deliberate investment in injustice and obfuscation. <strong>Essential reading</strong>.' <strong></strong><strong>Professor Ussama Makdisi</strong></p>
<p>'For decades, vociferous lobbying has kept Britain and America’s political classes committed to supporting Israel, according to this piercing study... Pappé’s fine-grained narrative weaves together many probing lines of inquiry... This offers a vital international perspective on the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine.' <em><strong>Publishers Weekly</strong></em></p>
<p>'This timely book from one of the finest historians of contemporary Israel deserves to become the subject of urgent contemporary debate.' <strong>Peter Oborne, <em>Middle East Eye</em></strong></p>
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.
After Labour’s anti-Semitism scandal and the US’s decision to move its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, this is a timely look at a controversial subject
The first book to examine how pro-Israel groups seek to influence British policy towards the Middle East and Palestine in particular
While there are a handful of books on the pro-Israel lobby in the United States, most of these are over ten years old – this book brings the story up to date
Pappe is a highly respected historian, and author of The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine (over 85k copies sold) and The Biggest Prison on Earth (shortlisted for the Palestine Book Awards)
