I didn't buy the book from Amazon but have had an old copy for many years.If you want to learn some history of our engagement with Israel that you won't find in many books (gee I wonder why). The white-washing of Israel's atrocities has been going on since it's creation as George Ball effectively explains in The Passionate Attachment.Honestly I can't believe I'm writing a review that's openly critical of Israel, but the recent Gaza situation finally laid bare Zionism's real intention: completely displace or destroy all remaining Palestinians in Gaza and West Bank to reserve all of Palestine for Jews only (besides the Israeli arabs that somehow slipped through the cracks over the years). If you don't believe it... Google "West bank Israeli settlement map" and see how the West Bank is just a swiss-cheese network of illegal Israeli settlements surrounding and isolating Palestinian villages. Also please Google "Israeli west bank settler violence".It wasn't long ago you'd be branded an antisemite for raising the most benign questions about Israel. Accusations of antisemitism is the dog-whistle for Zionist American Jews to rally around the Israeli flag and take down the questioner by any means necessary. It still happens today (Bill Ackman trying to replace Harvard board members, etc.).And AIPAC (American Israeli Political Action Committee) is the equivalent of the NRA for foreign policy, placing merciless pressure on American politicians to keep America on it's knees, prostrate before their masters: the government of Israel.That's basically the book in a nutshell, with a lot of details about various ways Israel has made life miserab le for Palestinians over the years (Ariel Sharon, Sabra and Shatila massacre, etc.).
