Date: March 22, 2019
Venue: The National Press Club
Topics: Experts will address the following questions: How
has the Israel lobby further captured key nodes of U.S.
government policymaking? Why is U.S. policy so expensive,
destructive and unrepresentative of the will of the American
people? How are a handful of politicians now successfully
running against previously unquestioned, longstanding Israel
lobby platforms? What rules do reporters follow when they
tell the truth about U.S. policy and the lobby? Why do U.S.
presidents sign secret letters promising not to publicly
discuss Israel’s clandestine nuclear weapons program? Why
does the U.S. give more foreign aid to Israel than to any
other country, and how is the makeup of that aid changing?
What, if anything, does the U.S. get out of its so-called
“special relationship” with Israel? How are human rights
groups working to “de-Israelize” state and local
governments? What is the Israel lobby doing to provoke an
armed U.S. confrontation with Iran? What else is the lobby
doing to improve Israel’s strategic position in the region?
Why are assertions that Israel and the U.S. have “shared
values” made, and are these assertions accurate?

Date: April 10, 2015
Venue: The National Press Club
Theme:
This unprecedented gathering focused on the Israel lobby in America.
How big is it? How fast has it grown? How interconnected are the
organizations and individuals? How much revenue does it raise and
where does the money go? What are the common objectives of the
lobby? What laws apply to lobbying to benefit a foreign government
and are they vigorously enforced? Do coordinated campaign
contributions cause American policymakers to act more on behalf of
Israel than the United States? What fallacies underlie the
assertions that U.S. and Israeli interests are the same? What are
the Israel lobby’s public and private, short-and-medium-term policy
objectives? And what can Americans who do not believe pro-Israel
slogans, activities and policy objectives do?

Date: March 7, 2014
Venue: The National Press Club
Theme: U.S. financial, military, and diplomatic support for
Israel has grown significantly and steadily throughout the past 60
years and now dwarfs annual American foreign assistance to all other
nations.
Research indicates the U.S.-Israel
"special relationship" is a major factor in foreign hostility
towards Americans. Some experts suggest that Israel has been central
to U.S. wars in the Middle East. However, the huge public backlash
against Israel lobby-generated momentum for U.S. attacks on Syria
and Iran indicates that Americans are concerned about the direction
of U.S. foreign policy, how it is made, and those trying to make it.
This historic summit will provide an in-depth, multifaceted inquiry
into this critical subject matter. Panelists will include former
military and diplomatic personnel, intelligence officers, scholars,
economists, researchers and a variety of other subject-matter
experts and authors often shut out of key discussions in public
forums and news media outlets. Members of the public will be allowed
to ask the key questions and network with other attendees.
