The pro-Israel lobby has swayed US presidents since Truman. It must end with Trump | Ian Lustick and Eli Clifton
The pro-Israel lobby has influenced every US president from Harry Truman to Donald Trump. A new book shows how this lobby grew over almost eighty years and became the strongest foreign‑policy group in the United States. In 1948, Truman was pushed by Zionist activists to back a Jewish state in Palestine. His top advisors, led by Secretary of State George Marshall, warned against creating the state and urged him to refuse.
