U.S. Must Address Control of its M. E. Policies by Israeli by Paul Findley

Because of the gross, longstanding bias in U.S. policy in the Middle East, the world teeters on the precipice of widening conflict focused on religion-- sadly, unnecessarily, dangerously. Christendom versus Islam.

Our bias is created and sustained by extreme elements of both Christianity and Judaism. Both have a deep-seated, passionate attachment to the State of Israel, no matter how outrageous its behavior becomes. Both are represented powerfully in Washington. Together, they burden our country year after year with an Israel-centric foreign policy that has led America into a deep abyss.

Most Americans are blind to reality. They are unaware of the flagrant bias in our policies and the price we pay for this bias. Despite the wonders of the Information Age, the public is not informed about how these harmful policies are established. Among those who know the truth, almost all remain totally silent, afraid to speak out. This self-imposed censorship unwittingly has led us into great trouble, even into the ultimate in wrong deeds-- initiating wars.

The more experienced of the religious lobbies is headed by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee . It consists almost exclusively of Judaic Zionists, activists whose behavior is disapproved-- although very quietly-- by the majority of those affiliated with Judaism. My book, They Dare to Speak Out: People and Institutions Confront Israel’s Lobby, details the history and tactics of their lobbying.
