This book is a chapter-by-chapter analysis documenting the power of Israel via the pro-Zionist lobby on US Middle East policy. It explores the extraordinary extent of US political, economic, military and diplomatic support for Israel along with the means whereby such support is generated and consolidated. Contending that Zionist power in the US ensured unconditional backing for Israeli colonization 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 against Iraq and threats of war against Iran and Syria.

Although this book may be considered shocking, it only exposed the truths about the Israel lobby in the USA. If you follow the US politics, you won't be surprised by what the author is talking about, they are facts that most people know about but are too afraid to talk about. Strongly recommanded for people who have enough if the lies.

Ordinary Americans do not know much about the power of the Israel Lobby.
President Obama and all other politicians should read this book.

Anyone can twist the facts to suit their purposes, and Petras is an old hand when it comes to Jews and Israel. All the usual cliches are trotted out, Jews are all bankers, we have all the money, we use it to adversely influence US policy. I'm surprised he hasn't blamed us for the subprime crisis and Britney Spears downfall. Probably in a forthcoming book.
