American and Israeli Jingoism
I am very pro
Israel
and support an Israel without Arab citizens. However due to my conversations with Israelis and the reading of books coming out of Israel I know that the far right elements of the Israel
Lobby
do not represent the views of many moderate and liberal Jews. These far right elements are the same as the Evangelical Christians and the Cheney, Bush cabal that have supported a jingoistic philosophy towards the rest of the world, and have put the entire world at risk of war.
There are plenty of U.S. senators and representative who will attest to the fact that they must kowtow to the far right AIPAC or have their political careers ruined. Be careful for what you wish AIPAC, your vitriolic attacks on anyone who even suggests a different viewpoint from yours may create your anti-semitism which you seem so rabidly determined to find!
The Jews are today treating the Palestinians like we used to treat the Indians and Blacks in this country. The Israeli far right encourages settlements which bulldoze the Palestine settlements, replace them with Jewish settlers, who themselves form the equivalent of a Ku Klux Klan to harass and sometimes kill the original inhabitants. The founding of just about any country usually involves genocide of some kind. The Israelis recognized this from the early Zionist movement and their are plenty of Jewish writers and politicians that will attest to this fact. This does not upset me all that much since it is the way the world works. But it is time that Israel and the U.S. realize that it is going to take an infinite amount of resources to neutralize the entropy which Israel is fighting. Yes the Palestinians have their suicide bombers, but it looks likes the Israel Lobby (not the Israelis themselves) would rather have the whole world including Israel commit suicide rather then come to some sensible accommodation with the rest of the Middle East. I wonder if Israel itself decides to go for peace whether the Ultra Right AIPAC will permit this, after all they are safe in the U.S. , and somehow I'm sure are able to bear the deaths and destruction that Israel will have to suffer in order to support their selfish far right ideology.

Really good book
Before buying this book, I'd read an article about the groundbreaking paper written by the same authors, so I knew, more or less, what to expect from this title. I'd say this book is very well written and the authors support every argument they present with irrefutable (or at least not so easily refutable) evidence given that they use information that appeared in the
Israeli Press
. As in any other subject, a "taboo" approach can save the day and ruin the years that follow it, and this book is a warning to people so that they will not place their livelihood in the control of the powerful few who will certainly further their interests to the exclusion of everyone else's.

Serious findings that everyone needs to read, hear, and reflect on
The authors should be given a Nobel Peace Prize for their courage on speaking up on the accurate, but considered taboo, facts that
Israel controls
many of the national security apparatus of Washington DC. The authors point out how well Israel has done in infiltrating the US political and education system to promote their own agenda. Especially of concern is how the Israel
lobby
has control over the universities in the US, the scientific review process and the think tanks in Washington. It is no wonder that we don't hear about any of this on the media, since Israel also controls the media. Well done Israel ! Read this book, tell you friends about the book, and make sure you know the difference between a nation state (i.e. country) and a religion when making assessments. The book and facts inside of it are about another country (Israel) having control over US
policy
. Not about antisemitism. Scary, embarrassing, and harsh reality findings -- no wonder the rest of the world looks at the US and wonders why are current
foreign policy
is the way it is!
