Pressestimmen
"In Congress and in the White House, in the Pentagon and in the university, [Findley] finds the pro-Israel forces wielding remarkable power to suppress free debate, compromise national secrets and shape American foreign policy."
Kurzbeschreibung
The first book to speak out against the pervasive influence of the American-Israeli Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) on American politics, policy, and institutions resonates today as never before. With careful documentation and specific case histories, former congressman Paul Findley demonstrates how the Israel lobby helps to shape important aspects of US foreign policy and influences congressional, senatorial, and even presidential elections. Described are the undue influence AIPAC exerts in the Senate and the House and the pressure AIPAC brings to bear on university professors and journalists who seem too sympathetic to Arab and Islamic states and too critical of Israel and its policies. Along with many long-time outspoken critics, new voices speaking out include former President Jimmy Carter, US Representative Cynthia McKinney, Senator Robert Byrd, prominent Arab-American Dr Ziad Asali, Rabbi Michael Lerner, and journalist Charles Reese. In addition, the lack of open debate among politicians with regard to the US policy in the Middle East is lamented, and AIPAC is blamed in part for this censorship. Connections are drawn between America's unconditional support of Israel and the raging anti-American passions around the world -- and ultimately the tragic events of 9/11.

This is a great unbiased book, a real eye opener. If you care about your country, about fairness, or about free speech read this book. Also please ignore the comment from the Long Island person below who obviously represents the very reason that this book was written.

Excellent novel... Very objective account.. No way possible can this be a propandaist account. Findley warned about people who place the label of "Anti-Semetic" to those who QUESTION the hypocritical U.S. foriegn policies towards Israel. Just simply questioning and raising awareness can lead to the destruction of one's professional and personal reputations with the label of 'anti-semetic' and 'nazi sympathizer' placed on them. This can be seen by the review below by the guy from Long Island, NY... Anyways, if u really want an excellent objective analyzation of how Israel has the US by the throat, please check out this book...
By the way, only reason i gave this book 4 stars and not 5 is that usually people don't read the 5 star reviews..

I feel that this book is a must read for all Americans interested in U.S. - Middle East relations and the challenges to formulating a more balanced and just policies. Paul Findley, an Illinois Congressman for 22 years, examines the role of pro-Israel special interest groups in heavily influencing public officials and policy makers into making biased and counterproductive decisions impacting our relationship with the countries of an important region of the world. Findley has carefully researched and examined the extent of pro-Israel lobbying in this nation. While he defends the rights of American citizens to support causes they feel a moral obligation to, he argues eloquently that the interests of another country should never be placed above the interests of the United States.
I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in understanding the importance of having balanced foreign policies, particularly at a time when the United States is trying to serve as an honest broker to resolving conflicts in the Middle East and elsewhere. It was educational and a real eye opener to me, a seeker of truth and objectivity.
