Isaacs: HEGEMONY

Tali Shapiro boldly took my suggestion that she write a poem with Hegemony as its inspiration. I had recently encountered and posted a definition that resonated in me. HEGEMONY - The expression of the interests and world views of a particular soc...

I was first introduced to Baroud's excellent work through his book "Searching Jenin", published with haste to document and publicize the atrocities of Jenin in early 2002. Needless to say, the perpetrators of this attack and it's...

thanks for those thoughts and for that quote from Finkelstein. they make a reasonable case. nevertheless, US policy in the region is long term suicidal for its interests (and obviously also for Israel). maybe that's not saying much: al...

An interesting exchange. My thoughts, for whatever they're worth: For a long time it was incomprehensible to me how Chomsky could be so dismissive of the influence of the Israel Lobby; yet, at the same time, I couldn't completely dismiss his vie...

I agree with the gist of this. The subtitle of the article, "Letter suggests US not honest broker" is particularly amusing. it took this letter to "suggest" that? one could say Obama's "caved in" to everyo...

People always use the word 'cave-in' about the Democrats.  But the word 'cave-in' supposes that there was at some point a wall of opposition that later collapsed or caved-in. But, there never is such opposition from the Democ...

thanks for the thoughtful reply, I agree with much of it, especially the first half, up to "... and they continue to be". many things have changed from 67 and 70 to 2010. global popular opinion against the US is at an a...

When you consider the origins of the Israel and US relationship the importance of regional hegemony and oil becomes quite clear. The two milestone moments I believe were the defeat of Nasser and Black September. Nasser was fighting a civil war in...

the fact that the US would make such an "offer" speaks volumes. the fact that Israel would "reject" it, says even more. from the author: "Criticism by the powerful pro-Israel lobby in Washington may damage Obama’s...

Polson: The imprisonment stat

Admittedly shocking, but less so in the United States.  After all, one third of all Black american adult males have been in prison.  The jailing of Palestinians in Israel and blacks in the US is oddly comparable, both in the numbers invo...

Peace talks for the sake of talks will start, we are told. Such talks will lead to further talks when the parties will be asked to carry on more talks. At that point, the Obama Administration may suggest that progress has been good but some...

Roth: Thank you for this very useful statement

Forum Post, August, 25 2010 Robert Roth

It's useful because it starts from the beginning, assumes little or nothing, and deals in a fundamental way with the important arguments.  Noam Chomsky, among others, have brought additional factual background to these issues.  The right...

I basically agree, except with the part about U.S. interests? Whatever the general case is, specific interests benefit; the arms industry is comfortable with the way business is done--why should it want to change?But what alternative is in U.S. in...

The idea that such statements by Fonda can be taken seriously borders on the absurd. At the risk of repeating the obvious for the millionth time, the 'conflict' in Palestine does not have two equivalent 'sides'. This is oppression, as was Aparthei...
