The High Cost of U.S. Subservience to Israel by Paul Findley America?s support of Israel?s brutality was the main motivation for 9/11. That tragedy would not have happened if any U.S. president in the last 40 years had refused to finance Israel?s humiliation and destruction of Palestine. Michael Scheuer, a former CIA analyst and now a consultant to CBS News, recently told a congressional committee that ?our unqualified support of Israel? was the main reason for 9/11. Marine Gen. Anthony Zinni, President George W. Bush?s first special envoy to the Middle East, has stated that the United States invaded Iraq for Israel and oil. Paul Findley was a Republican Congressman for 22 years.

So Who's Afraid of the Israel Lobby? by Ray McGovern I was intrigued by the fact that Mearsheimer and Walt made no mention of what I believe to be, if not the most telling, then perhaps the most sensational proof of the power the Lobby knows it can exert over our government and Congress. In sum, in June 1967, after deliberately using fighter-bombers and torpedo boats to attack the USS Liberty for over two hours in an attempt to sink it and kill its entire crew, and then getting the U.S. government, the Navy, and the Congress to cover up what happened, the Israeli government learned that it could ? literally ? get away with murder. My sentiments exactly. Ray McGovern is former CIA.
