In Part I of my interview with Keith Weissman, the former American Israel Public Affairs Committee official, he spoke of his background, how he joined AIPAC, and how AIPAC worked in the 1990s and early 2000s to isolate and embargo Iran.

In Part II, Weissman—who is speaking out for the first time, in depth, since he and a colleague, Steve Rosen, were indicted on espionage-related charges—talks about the battle inside AIPAC over regime change in Iran, and about the FBI and Justice Department charges against him.

Both parts appear at TehranBureau, one of the very best sites for news and analysis about Iran. You can read both Part I and Part II.

Become a Sustaining Donor This September

Between the reemergence of right-wing red-baiting and Donald Trump’s use of the chilling National Security Presidential Memorandum–7 to criminalize left political organizing, we’re seeing McCarthyism reborn before our eyes.

This assault on democracy cannot be ignored or wished away. Resisting it requires bravery in the face of threats and repression, a steadfast commitment to the truth, and the unwavering belief that we can—and will—overcome this darkness.

We must have an independent media that sets the record straight, unearths corruption and abuses of power, and advances a politics of justice and dignity for all if we’re to win this fight.

That’s why I’m writing to you today. This September, The Nation needs to add 100 monthly donors to sustain our progressive journalism. Your contribution makes the next investigative report, the next truth-speaking column, and the next pathbreaking essay all possible. 

I hope you’ll support our work with a recurring donation today. If you donate $10 or more a month, we’ll send you a brand new “Hands Off the Free Press!” sticker to recognise your commitment to our cause. Please, donate today. 

Onward,

Katrina vanden Heuvel
