The Rise and Fall of The Israel Project

JVL Introduction

We know that the Israel lobby in the US consists of a number of extremely well-funded and generally very unrepresentative organisations, but less about their internal politics. An “unusual cache of documents” from one of these organisations, The Israel Project (TIP), highlights how it worked, and why it has collapsed.

It’s a specifically American story but worth reading nonetheless.

There is a brief discussion of the TIP publication Global Language Dictionary – which lays bare the arguments, strategy, tactics of the Israel lobby – in the context of a wider discussion of hasbara (propaganda) on the Jews for Justice for Palestinians Resources page of its website here (scroll down if necesary).
