    5 April 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    A few weeks ago two scholars published a study that might have languished in the obscurity of academia.
    But the paper was about the impact that the "Israel Lobby" — which the authors characterized as a loose confederation of like-minded individuals and groups — has on U.S. policy in the Middle East. So, predictably, it set off a nice little firestorm with accusations of anti-Semitism flying around our most hallowed Ivy League colleges and members of Congress discussing how to respond to (…)

    By now, the manner in which Blair & Co have again hoodwinked Britain into a totally illegal military strike -this time using nuclear weapons- against a peaceful nation should have become frighteningly clear.
    But it hasn’t.
    The Bliar’s low-profile treatment of Iran, added to the contradictory signals sent out by him and others such as Foreign Minister, Jack Straw and John Reid, whose job is better described as the Secretary for War, has worked very well to keep the country in the (…)

    Bush’s War Hawks Edged Out of the Nest
    by Jim Lobe

    Demoralized by the quagmire in Iraq, as well as Pres. George W. Bush’s still falling approval and credibility ratings, the coalition of aggressive nationalists, (…)

    It’s high time to recognize that we as a nation are engaged in a life-or-death struggle of competing ideologies with those who promote war as an American value and virtue.

    U.S. Support for Aggressive Zionism, the Real Problem in the Middle East

Sympathy for the favorite nation, facilitating the illusion of an imaginary common interest in cases where no real common interest exists, and infusing into one the enmities of the other, betrays the former into participation in the quarrels and wars of the latter, (…)
