Without spending money, [David] Ochs [founder of HaLev, which helps send young people to American Israel Public Affairs Committee’s annual conference] argues, the pro-Israel lobby isn’t able to enact its agenda. “Congressmen and senators don’t do anything unless you pressure them. They kick the can down the road, unless you pressure them, and the only way to do that is with money,” he explains.

Invitation to an Online Film Salon
Sunday April 16, 2023
“Support for Israel” is often called the third-rail of U.S. politics. Any elected official daring to criticize Israel in any way will get “burned.” Why is that? What exactly is the Israel Lobby, and what is the extent of its power?

When Al Jazeera produced a 4-part documentary series on this lobbying “industry,” intense pressure forced it to cancel the broadcast. Then The Electronic Intifada posted a leaked copy. THE LOBBY–USA, Episode 4 follows an undercover journalist posing as a pro-Israel volunteer who gets unprecedented access to the operations of Israel Lobby groups in Washington, D.C. We watch as Israel’s covert campaign strives to influence partisan politics, campus life, major network news reporting, and social media in America. This will be first in a series of VFHL salons on the theme Marketing the Israeli Occupation.
