Zionists mooted places as diverse as Palestine and Argentina, and most Jews in Britain and the US remained aloof from the ideologists. Today support for Israel is a sine qua non of British and American political life, and the overwhelming majority of Jews identify as Zionists. How did this happen?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIlan Pappe unveils how a lobby changed the map of the Middle East. Zionists exerted pressure on the Congress, cracked down on dissent in the Labour Party and relentlessly smeared critics. Groups funded by the Israeli state pushed for unprecedented military aid, recognition of unlawfully occupied territories and the erasure of Palestinian rights. Lobbying for Zionism shows us how a dangerous consensus was built – and how it might be dismantled.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"TruncatedContent__gradientOverlay\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Button__container\"\u003e\u003cbutton type=\"button\" class=\"Button Button--tertiary Button--medium\" aria-label=\"Tap to show more book description\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Button__labelItem\"\u003eShow more\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/button\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ilan Pappé","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51919588196632,"sku":null,"price":3995.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0079\/1586\/4121\/files\/220377417.jpg?v=1775463720","url":"https:\/\/thelastwordbks.com\/products\/lobbying-for-zionism-on-both-sides-of-the-atlantic","provider":"The Last Word Bks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
