We invite you to join us to discuss the second half of “Lobbying for Zionism on Both Sides of the Atlantic”, chapter 10 through the end. We will be meeting via Zoom on May 11 at 2pm.

In 1896, a Jewish state was a pipe dream. Today the overwhelming majority of Jews identify as Zionists. How did this happen?

Ilan Pappé 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.

The JVP-DC Metro Book Group usually meets on the 2nd Sunday of (almost) every month to discuss a book related to Palestine and select our book for the following month.
