In 1896, a Jewish state was a dream of a summer night. Today, the overwhelming majority of Jews identify as Zionists. How did this happen?

Ilán Pappé reveals how over a century of aggressive pressure changed the map of the Middle East. Pro-Israel lobbies convinced British and American politicians to tolerate Israel's blatant violations of international law, to grant unparalleled military aid, and to deny the rights of Palestinians. Anyone who questioned the unconditional support for Israel, even in the mildest of ways, became the target of relentless attacks. The book "Pressure for Zionism from Both Sides of the Atlantic" shows us how an unbreakable consensus was built - and how it can be shattered.
