"The Lobby is about a sensitive issue in American politics and foreign policy - the role that a part of the American Jewish community plays in influencing U.S. policy in the Middle East. Foreign policy lobbying, of course, is as American as the Federalist Papers, but Edward Tivnan reveals a growing concern among members of Congress, the Israeli Knesset, and a broad spectrum of the leadership of the American Jewish community that tactics of the 'pro-Israel lobby' - in particular, the most influential foreign policy lobby in Washington, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) - have inhibited debate on Capitol Hill and become an obstacle to peace in the Middle East."--Book Jacket.
