Exposing the inordinate power of the Israeli Lobby is crucial to challenging its powerful influence over the United States government. This week we will hear presentations from Miko Peled, an Israeli now living in he United States who authored the book, The Generalâs Son, and Gideon Levy, a journalist with the Israeli Newspaper, Haaretz. Both are remarkably well qualified to be the profound critics of Israeli society that they are today.
Both of these presentations came from the impressive conference on the Israeli Lobby held in Washington, DC in April of 2015.
Before that, we begin by asking the question, why is there no reconstruction taking place in Gaza over a year after the most recent assault by Israel? International money has been pledged for reconstruction, but virtually none has taken place. Ali Abu Nimah addresses the issue in an article in the Electronic Intifada, from which we quote.
