Exclusively in the new print issue of CounterPunch
HOW AIPAC BECAME KING OF THE HILL — The new issue of CounterPunch magazine is hot off the press and it’s an explosive edition, 

headlined by Jeffrey Blankfort’s searing history of the Israeli lobby in American politics. 

Blankfort charts the rise of AIPAC, how it craftily avoided having to register as a foreign agent, 

how it has played presidents against congresses, and congresses against presidential administrations. 

He details in stark terms how any efforts to disentangle US foreign policy from Israeli interests, 

from Eisenhower to LBJ to George H.W. Bush, have been ruthlessly crushed.
