FINDLEY, PAUL They Dare To Speak Out: People and Institutions Confront Israel's Lobby
Lawrence Hill Books, Chicago, IL, 1989, 1st Ed 5th Pr. Paperback. They Dare To Speak Out: People and Institutions Confront Isr'l's Lobby by Paul Findley. Published by Lawrence Hill Books, Chicago, IL, 1989. 1st Edition 5th Printing. Paperback. Size 8vo (up to 9-1/2'' tall). 390 Pgs. Condition: Nr Fine. Slight edge wear, content excellent. ISBN 1556520735. LCCN 84-28977. The first book to speak out against the pervasive influence of the American-Isr'li Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) on American politics, policy, and institutions resonates today as never before. With careful documentation and specific case histories, former congressman Paul Findley demonstrates how the Isr'l lobby helps to shape important aspects of U.S. foreign policy and influences congressional, senatorial, and even presidential elections. Described are the undue influence AIPAC exerts in the Senate and the House and the pressure AIPAC brings to bear on university professors and journalists who seem too sympathetic to Arab and Islamic states and too critical of Isr'l and its policies. Along with many longtime outspoken critics, new voices speaking out include former President Jimmy Carter, U.S. Representative Cynthia McKinney, Senator Robert Byrd, prominent Arab-American Dr. Ziad Asali, Rabbi Mich'l Lerner, and journalist Charles Reese. In addition, the lack of open debate among politicians with regard to the U.S. policy in the Middle East is lamented, and AIPAC is blamed in part for this censorship. Connections are drawn between America's unconditional support of Isr'l and the raging anti-American passions around the world, and ultimately the tragic events of 9/11.
