Summary: DELIBERATE DECEPTIONS: FACING THE FACTS ABOUT THE U.S. - ISR
Comment: BY FAR ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS PUBLISHED ON THIS HORRENDOUS DRAIN ON AMERICAN TAXPAYERS DOLLERS. PAUL FINDLEY IS A TRUE AMERICAN TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM OPENLY AND WITH ENDLESS DOCUMENTATION. VERY BALANCED ON THE FALLACYS AND FACTS. WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO SOMEONE WANTING TO UNDERSTAND THE LOPSIDED PRO ISRAELI ATTATUDE IN AMERICAN GOVERMENT AND THE MEDIA.

Summary: Israel's Wrong-Doings Towards Palestinians and Americans.
Comment: Findley's book represents a very fine introduction any person could have to the topic of Israel, Palestine and the United States. It covers almost all major historical points of the conflict, as well as Israeli-American relations and the Israeli Lobby. Findley's goal is to present the many wrong doings of Israel toward Palestinians, Arabs, AND Americans; he certainly is not trying to present a balanced view on the topic. This book is an alternative to the view presented by Western media which, in my view, is almost dedicated to vindicating Israel from most of its wrong doings.
In the introduction Findley explains how, countrary to what is being presented to the public, the Israeli left (Labor) is actually more dangerous than the right (Likud) in the sense that both work towards the same goals (e.g. increase illegal settlements), but while the right does it in-your-face style, the left preach one thing while doing the other. In the book, Findley also talks about the many Arab initiatives for peace offers and how Israel turned them all down as they included the return of Israel to the June 4th, 1967 line to which Israel opposes.
Many times the breadth covered in the book limits the depth of the addressed issue. On the whole however, for a beginner who gets his news from the usual sources: CBS, CNN, NBC, ABC, U.S News & World Report, NY Times, Washington Post, Findley's book is the missing link and a major hole filler. Most of the issues discussed in it are rarely, or addressed only in-the-passing in the main stream. These include: Israeli attack on the USS Liberty and the U.S. refusal to conduct a propper followup investigation, Israeli cooperation with Apartheid S. Africa, passing of American technology to China and Russia, Israel's Nuclear program, the colossal U.S. Aid, Christian population decline, Israel's discrimination policies towards non-Jewish citizens, and the Palestinian refugee problem.
Almost every statement made is properly referenced, which adds to the value of the book. Every topic and sub-topic is addressed by first listing a "Fallacy", which is a statement made, often, by a pro-Israel person or group on that topic. Then a few paragraphs would follow, titled "Fact", aimed at refuting the fallacy by listing many facts. Most statements used for refutation are quotations by Israeli (mostly), American, and Arab leaders, such as Rabin, Meir, Dayan, Begin, as well as many Israeli, British and American historians and connoisseurs, such as Beit-Halhami, Sachar, Chomsky, Morris, Pape, Cockburn, Eban, and Melman.
As an introduction and a quick reference, the book deserves a 9/10, with the only drawback being the lack of depth on some of the topics.

Summary: Deliberate Deceptions
Comment: An outstanding book in explaning who is controlling US policy in the Middle East.
Paul tells you the facts and nothing but the facts.....this is a book that is worth reading if you are wondering what is happening in US politics and who is controlling what is going on inside and outside America.
You should also consider reading "The Holocaust Industry" by Norman Finkelstein. This book will shed more light on why this country in heading in the direction that is not in the best interest of America.
