Examining the reasons behind the strong pro-Israel stance of the US government and media, this chapter explores the influence of factors such as US geopolitical interest, the Israel lobby, evangelical Christians, and the military-industrial complex. It also highlights the impact of Jewish communities' effective organization and financial contributions to the political process, emphasizing the broader implications of the Israel-Palestine issue for leftist politics in the US.
Featuring Noura Erakat and Arielle Angel on the apartheid system and the violence it drives in Palestine.
