Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, May 2019, p. 4

 

THE ISRAEL LOBBY AND AMERICAN POLICY CONFERENCE took place on March 22, 2019—just two days before the American Israel Public ­Affairs Committee (AIPAC), the lobbying umbrella for Israel, held its annual policy conference in the nation’s capital. This was the sixth such conference, co-hosted by the Institute for Research: Middle Eastern Policy (IRmep) and the American Educational Trust, which publishes the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs and runs Middle East Books & More.

We hope this issue featuring our speakers’ words and images, as well as the first-ever “Ideas Fair,” captures the energy and inspiration generated at the Israel Lobby conference (which you can watch on our YouTube channel, WashingtonReportonMiddleEastAffairs.) For more information (and to enjoy past conferences) please visit <israellobbyandamericanpolicy.org>.

You’ll also find the final tabulation of “Pro-Israel PAC Contributions to 2018 Congressional Candidates” to help you spot politicians who have accepted pro-Israel influence peddling. Last, but not least, enjoy reading “Other Voices,” a 16-page ­insert usually available only to subscribers who pay an extra $15 a year.

Please support the Washington Report (wrmea.org), 1902 18th St. NW, Washington, DC 20009, and the Institute for Research: Middle Eastern Policy (IRmep.org), P.O. Box 32041 Washington, DC 20007. Your contributions help us continue to expose and confront Israel’s influence on American policies.

SINCE YOU'RE HERE...

We have a small favor to ask…

… More people are reading the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Our independent, investigative journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we believe our perspective matters – because it might well be your perspective, too.

Unlike many news organizations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want our journalism to remain free and open to everyone. Democracy depends on reliable access to information. By making our journalism publicly available, we're able to hold governments, companies and institutions to account, and offer our diverse, global readership a platform for debate and commentary. This encourages us all to challenge our opinions on what’s happening throughout our world. By supporting the Washington Report – and just giving what you can afford – you can help us ensure that everyone has access to critical information for years to come.

If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps to support it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $1, you can support the Washington Report – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
