12/30/21 Grant F. Smith on Israel’s Evolving Strategy to Sway American Politics
Scott is joined by Grant F. Smith to talk about the American Israel Public Affairs Committee’s (AIPAC) new strategy for reaching U.S. politicians. AIPAC has largely operated as a lobbying group on behalf of the State of Israel. But, as Smith explains, they are now working to set up a network of Political Action Committees. This will give them more freedom to fund candidates they like, and support the opponents of candidates they don’t. Scott and Smith give possible reasons for the evolving methods.
Discussed on the show:
- “AIPAC forming political action committees to tighten grip on U.S. elections” (Washington Report on Middle Eastern Affairs)
- “Joe Biden should end the US pretence over Israel’s ‘secret’ nuclear weapons” (The Guardian)
Grant F. Smith is the author of a number of books including Big Israel: How Israel’s Lobby Moves America, Divert!, and most recently The Israel Lobby Enters State Government: Rise of the Virginia Israel Advisory Board. He is director of the Institute for Research: Middle Eastern Policy in Washington, D.C.
