As part of the National Summit to Reassess the Israel-US Special Relationship, Blankfort speaks to the question of gatekeepers from the US Left who provide protective cover for the Israel Lobby, citing Noam Chomsky, Amy Goodman, and Phyllis Bennis as notable examples; he also examines past efforts of Left organizations to separate Palestine struggle from anti-apartheid movement and against US intervention in Central America.
