is a great read but it doesn't go into this area. It's more an analysis of the media coverage and Israeli bias. It has some content studies and then some audience studies, which demonstrate how effective the propaganda approach is. It starts with a history of the "conflict" which is a pretty good, eighty-something-page, propaganda free presentation of the story so far. Excellent read but as I say, not really on same issues as the O.P. Two excellent books on Israeli manipulation are of course "The Israeli Lobby and US Foreign Policy" by Mearsheimer and Walt and, more recently, "Big Israel" by Grant Smith. These obviously deal primarliy with the U.S. but you the "playbook" is almost identical over here, and you can easily identify the parallels. They still don't provide hard evidence on British political meddling though. I'll have a trawl through my bookmarks archive and see what I can find. I don't think there has been anything on the scale of Mearsheimer and Walt or "Big Israel" related to this side of the pond other than the Al Jazeera documentary. It's a rich seam for an investigative journalist to mine you would have thought, although risky, if not fatal, for your career prospects in MSM.
