Corporate media treats Israel’s lobby as the third rail of American politics. Eli Clifton and Ian Lustick didn’t get the memo. This Wednesday, the authors of Israel’s Lobby join Drop Site for a live conversation on how campaign cash and political pressure built one of the most powerful lobbying operations in Washington, and why crossing it can end careers. Drop Site’s Ryan Grim and Murtaza Hussain host, and you’ll get your questions answered by the group live.
