📕 “The Power of Israel in the United States” James Petras
A work of epic writing documenting the influence of the most powerful lobby in Washington. An extensive analysis and documentation of the power of Israel via the Pro-Zionist Lobby on US Middle East policy.
Contending that Zionist power in America ensured unconditional US backing for Israeli colonisation 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 US wars.
The root of its power is in the high proportion of billionaires who have created a ‘tyranny of Israel over the US’ with consequences grave enough to threaten world peace, security, the global economy, and democracy’s very future in America and elsewhere.
Because of its influence, Washington unconditionally supported all Israeli aggression since 1967.
More still, it suppresses open Middle East debate and dissenting opposition to its imperial agenda—regardless of the harm to America or how grievously it violates international law.
Committed Israeli support makes this possible from;
🔘officials at all levels of government;
🔘influential Jewish organisations and lobbying groups like the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), and according to some observers, the single most powerful Washington lobby—AIPAC, (shedding light on the AIPAC spying scandal). As well as
🔘many thousands of dedicated activists: doctors, lawyers, dentists, philanthropists, key Wall Street figures, major bank executives, Federal Reserve governors, its chairman, other key businessmen, major media bosses, the clergy, academia and journalists given special prominence because of their support of a pro-Israeli agenda.
As a result, Israel gets away with mass murder and receives more US aid than all other nations combined and special privileges with it.
Billions of dollars annually in aid; the latest weapons and technololgy; low or no interest rate loans; some simply waived and not repaid; additional monetary aid as requested;
…unrestricted US market access for its products and services; free entry of its immigrants; guaranteed Security Council vetoes for unfavourable to its interests resolutions;
…freedom to operate covertly inside America, including on US military bases; and Washington’s partnership in its aggressive wars, its military agenda, occupation of Palestine…
wars against Lebanon, unwarranted attacks on Syria, retention of the Golan Heights, and freedom to commit the most grievous crimes of war and against humanity, including mass-Palestinian incarcerations, free use of torture and as much mass murder as expedient.
Regardless of its harm to America, the author contends, Israel gets what it wants because the “Zionist power configuration” extends well beyond the Lobby.
