Autor: PETRAS, JAMES

Formato: PDF

This book is a chapter-by-chapter analysis and documentation of the power of Israel via the Israeli, Jewish or Pro-Zionist Lobby on U.S. Middle East policy. It raises serious questions as to the primary beneficiary of U.S. policy, and its destructive results for the United States. The extraordinary extent of U.S. political, economic, military and diplomatic support for the state of Israel is explored, along with the means whereby such support is generated and consolidated. Contending that Zionist power in America ensured unconditional U.S. backing for Israeli colonization of Palestine and its massive uprooting of Palestinians, it views the interests of Israel rather than those of Big Oil as the primary cause of the disastrous U.S. wars against Iraq and threats of war against Iran and Syria. It demonstrates and condemns U.S. imitation of Israeli practice as it relates to conduct of the war on terrorism and torture. It sheds light on the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) spying scandal and other Israeli espionage against America; the fraudulent and complicit role of America's academic “terrorist experts” in furthering criminal government policies, and the orchestration of the Danish cartoons to foment antipathy between Muslims and the West. It questions the inability in America to sustain or even formulate a discourse related to the subject of Israeli influence on the United States. It calls for a review of American Mideast policy with a view to reclaiming US independence of action based upon enlightened self-interest and progressive principles.
