Zionism Influences Most Of U.S. Foreign and Military Policy Comment by Larry Ross, August 16, 2006
Neo-conservatives with a strong pro-Israel bias create the policy papers which influence American thinking. Powerful well-funded, pro-Israeli lobby groups, with direct links to Israel and to Washington, lobby and donate to politicians that influence U.S. policy decisions. There is a well-known mass media bias for pro-Israel and pro-Israeli war articles. Israel has become a shining Beacon to the Bush Administration as it leads the way into the Middle East and disaster for millions of people. These essays explore the issues.

IF
AMERICANS KNEW: WHAT EVERY AMERICAN by Evan Augustine Peterson III, J.D., August 15, 2006
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- ------------------------- IF AMERICANS KNEW: WHAT EVERY AMERICAN NEEDS TO KNOW ABOUT ISRAEL/PALESTINE "If Americans Knew" is the trailer for a new documentary film that explains how the Zionist government of Israel exercises inordinate influence over significant sectors of the American government and media. Strains of the hymn "Amazing Grace" play while the grey eminences of American diplomacy describe their experiences with Arabs under an Israeli occupation that is both authoritarian and cruel. The filmmaker interviews many retired career officers from the U.S. Foreign Service who express their revulsion at Israel's routine abuse of its "most favored nation" status. Now please watch the theatrical trailer for this soon-to-be-released film about Israel/Palestine: http://www.ifamericansknew.org/about_us/movie.html PLEASE ALSO VIEW

There is a sense that the growing number of crises in the "new Middle East," proudly midwifed by the Bush administration, is rapidly spinning out of control with potentially catastrophic consequences for the entire region and beyond. Many of these foreign policy veterans have concluded that the Bush neocons really do intend to start a war with Iran.]: http://www.tompaine.com/articles/2006/08/11/new_middle_east_out_of_control.php [3] Stephen Lendman's 8-14-06 CounterCurrents essay, "Sham UN Resolution Guarantees No End To Israel's Illegal War Of Aggression" [UN Resolution 1701 is little more than an outrageous and illegal expression of victor's justice. It is a sham because it allows Israel to resume hostilities at any time, and for any reason it wishes, so long as Israel claims that an "imminent threat" exists -- even if that claim is false.]: http://www.countercurrents.org/leb-lendman140806.htm [4] Ian Williams' 8-12-06
The Nation essay, "The Semantics Of Terror" [In the binary, Manichaean
mindset of the United States and Likudnik Israel, once a group
has been labeled "terrorist" it becomes the epitome of evil; to
suggest that any of their arguments have any validity makes one
a "terrorist supporter."]: [5] Pierre Tristam's
8-12-06 Common Dreams/Candide's Notebooks essay, "When Terror
Is The Foil" [What if a victory over terrorism was ever declared?
It’ s an impossibility! The Bush administration has cast the
danger in such ways as to box itself into a position incapable
of declaring such a victory. The administration itself (or its
coming clones) would have to disband, having hinged its entire
raison d’être on waging such a war.]: [6] Wiiliam Greider's
8-12-06 The Nation essay, "Fear And Smear" [Bush desperately needs
the terrorists. They are his last frail hope for political survival.
The "news" of terror -- whether real or fantasized -- reduces
American politics to its most primitive impulses, the realm of
fear-and-smear where George W. Bush is at his best.]: [7] Marc Ash's 8-11-06
TruthOut essay, "Fascism Of All Varieties" [Mr. Bush is selling
his "war on terror" with a new phrase that pays: now we are s
upposedly fighting the "Islamic fascists." Frankly, there really
isn't any other way to state this than bluntly: Mr. Bush, that
word -- "fascist" -- is how many Americans refer to you. He then
quotes the standard dictionary definition of "fascism" to show
why it fits Mr. Bush better than it does the radical Islamists.]: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- ------------------ THREE QUOTES WORTH
