This is the full keynote speech given by Ilan Pappe (Professor of History and Palestinian Studies at the University of Exeter) discussing how Zionist myths have shaped and perpetuated the Israel Lobby, and the need to change the lens through which the Israel/Palestine conflict is viewed, in order to overcome these myths and resolve the conflict at the "Israel Lobby and American Policy" conference on March 24th, 2017 at the National Press Club. The conference was sponsored by Washington Report on Middle East Affairs. Pappe spoke, and responded to comments. The subjects included settler colonialism, its inherent toxicity, and the necessity of one democratic state.
