The End of America

Breaking the Taboo: Why We Took On the Israel Lobby

If you think that the "War on Terror" has come about because Islamic extremists "hate your freedoms," you are wrong. It is because of the unbalanced and deeply flawed foreign policy chosen my US politicians in the Middle East, which generated much of the anti-American sentiment found in the Arab world.

The Israelis, thus the world, loved Salam Fayyad long before he became Fatah PM

And he was certainly the WEST'S choice for new Palestinian Prime Minister. (They already wanted him in that role in 2002… we are supposed to believe he is Abbas's choice. His "third party" in the last elections won 2 seats in Parliament)
