The most important book of 2026 is officially published today!

“Israel’s Lobby” is neither a sequel to John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt’s groundbreaking 2007 book, nor simply an update of it. It does something different.

@EliClifton and Lustick provide a systematic history of the moments when, in their telling, Israel and its American supporters have worked against U.S. interests. But they also add a dimension that Mearsheimer and Walt did not explore at length: money—and, specifically, the financial machinery behind efforts to put Israel’s interests ahead of America’s.

The reason this will become the most important book of 2026 lies in the collision between its findings and its timing. Never before have Americans been so willing to openly debate the once-taboo question of Israel’s influence in American politics.

The revelations are stunning.
