Eli Clifton & Ian Lustick : co-authors of Israel’s Lobby -

Washington's warning about foreign entanglements remains valid because pro-Israel mobilization lacks a natural domestic counter-mobilization

Post-Citizens United, the lobby's funding shifted from grassroots to nine billionaires donating $1.7B since 2012 to support Israel's far-right policies

AIPAC avoids defending Israeli policies substantively and instead suppresses critics by labeling them anti-Semitic

Anti-Semitism accusations are weaponized by the state to target universities, withhold grants, and deport green card holders for criticizing Israel

FDD and AIPAC drove the legislation to merge U.S.-Israel defense technology to make separation laborious and deflect aid criticism

The merger legislation is unconstitutional because it surrenders U.S. sovereignty without a treaty requiring two-thirds Senate approval

The merger threatens U.S. national security and domestic freedoms by insulating the Israel relationship from democratic scrutiny and public debate

The U.S.-Israel relationship threatens national security and freedoms, with U.S. decision-making effectively outsourced to Israel

Israel is a rogue, nuclear-armed state whose close ties to the U.S. create a severe national security threat and endanger American freedoms

The new book advances beyond his and Walt's earlier work and addresses the current state of U.S.-Israel relations and the lobby's role
