About This Book:
The book presents a critical viewpoint on how the Israel lobby influences American policy and emphasizes the voices of people and organizations that have spoken out against the lobby's sway. It addresses issues like political spending, media prejudice, and excluding opposing views on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.The book's author, Paul Findley, was an ex-Congressman from Illinois who spent more than 20 years in the House of Representatives. He became well-known for his opposition to American Middle East policies, particularly with reference to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Findley talks about his observations and experiences with the Israel lobby's impact on American politicians in "They Dare to Speak Out," as well as the difficulties those who ventured to speak out against it experienced. Exposes the degree to which pro-Israeli groups are able to supress free debate, compromise national secrets, and shape American foreign policy. Findley focuses on individuals who have stood up to the pro-Israeli forces and brings out their statements and observations on the Middle East and U.S. foreign policy toward Israel.
