"They Dare to Speak Out: People and Institutions Confront Israel's Lobby" is a book written by Paul Findley, a former United States Congressman from Illinois. Published in 1985, the book examines the influence of the Israeli lobby, particularly the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), on US foreign policy towards Israel and the Middle East. Findley argues that the lobby stifles debate and criticism of Israeli policies in the United States, and he explores the consequences of this influence on American politics and international relations.
The book is controversial and has sparked discussions about the role of lobbying groups in shaping US foreign policy, especially concerning Israel. It has been both praised for its courage in addressing a sensitive topic and criticized for what some perceive as its one-sided portrayal of the issue. Nevertheless, "They Dare to Speak Out" remains a significant work in the realm of US-Israel relations and the influence of interest groups on foreign policy.
