Gilad Atzmon looks at how the US’s Israel-driven policy in the Middle East is unravelling with the impending fall of its key vassal, Egypt’s Husni Mubarak. He argues that the only way forward for the USA is to start pursuing its own national interests, not those of Israel – which it can do only if it unshackles itself from the Israel lobby.In his latest Newsweek article Stephen Kinzer wonders who America is betting on in the popular rising forces in the Middle East: “The same friends it has been betting on for decades,” he answers. “Mubarak’s pharaonic regime in Egypt, Mahmoud Abbas and his Palestinian Authority, the Saudi monarchy, and increasingly radical politicians in Israel. It is no wonder that Iran’s power is rising as the American-imposed order begins to crumble,” he concludes.
Kinzer explains America’s stance succinctly and accurately:
The US keeps Mubarak in power – it gave his regime 1.5 billion dollars in aid last year – mainly because he supports America’s pro-Israel policies, especially by helping Israel maintain its stranglehold on Gaza. It supports Abbas for the same reason; Abbas is seen as willing to compromise with Israel and is, therefore, a desirable negotiating partner… American support for Mubarak and Abbas continues, although neither man is in power with any figment of legality; Mubarak brazenly stage-manages elections, and Abbas has ruled by decree since his term of office expired in 2009.
Если бы автор этой книги "просто" изложил аргументы в пользу того, что Холокост в том виде, в котором его знает всё цивилизованное и прогрессивное человечество: организованное уничтожение нацистами шести миллионов евреев в годы Второй мировой войны, — просто не мог произойти, "если тогда действовали законы физики", он бы уже заслуживал самого серьёзного и пристального внимания.
