Summary: The United States Under Siege!
Comment: Findley's book should compel us to reevaluate our relationship with Israel. It is compulsory reading even to those who are remotely interested in America's Middle East policies. Factual, objective and deeply disturbing, this book courageously exposes the hijack of powerful American political institutions by pro-Israeli lobbies. America's claim to be a 'honest peace-broker' in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is thoroughly discredited in this book.
Fanatically attached to Israel, it's the latter that diabolically manipulates for its own selfish interests the United States foreign policies with regards to the Middle East. Just like the Nazis who skillfully exploited the Weimar democracy to bring about totalitarianism, Israel does the same with America's democratic and liberal institutions to justify its ongoing persecution of the Palestinian people.
As an American, I feel painfully devastated to know that the majority of our elected Congressmen are utterly spineless with their persistent failure in resisting the unjustifiably aggressive pro-Zionists lobbies. The terrible truth is that these cowardly, if not traitorous, politicians are so eager in their demonstration of loyalty to Israel rather than to their own country. Findley illustrates numerous instances of the lobbies' persistence in securing their questionable objectives even when they openly conflict with America's domestic interest.
It is unnerving to realise that the officials of AIPAC, ADL, AJC and other pro-Israeli lobbies have penetrated almost every level of America's leading political, economic and social institutions. Chapters 7 & 8 have been devoted to analyzing the lobbies attack on academic freedom in the U.S. Even our students are not being told the complete truth as to what is actually occurring in the Middle East.
In their misguided religious zeal, Christian Zionists have appointed themselves as the unofficial spokesman of the Israeli government in justifying the latter's oppression and denial of Palestinian rights. Little do these Christians realize that this perverse attitude runs counter to the genuine spirit of their faith. Findley examines this disturbing phenomenon in chapter 9 of his book.
This book makes it painfully clear that these unscrupulous lobbyists are more than prepared to pursue their agenda by every criminal and unethical means which include intimidation, sustained harassment, blackmail, character assassination and the occasional death threats. If you seek to understand the American occupation of Iraq (despite the worldwide protest against such aggression), this book may provide some answer. Suffice to say that the devastation of Iraq greatly promotes Israel's interest in the region. Our dear President has, like those who were before him, succumbed to the subtle yet determined persuasion of the powerful pro-Israeli lobby.
This book deserves to be distributed as widely as possible. Every American who loves his country should read it. Only then will he understand why the rest of the world, especially the Muslim Middle East, is against our great nation. I salute Mr. Findley for making the courageous, if not controversial, decision of writing this book. I truly appreciate his contribution in making me comprehend the ugly reality of America's attitude towards the Middle East. Anti-Semitic he is not; a national hero he is.

Summary: A stark revelation about who wields the true power in D.C.
Comment: Paul Findley has written one incredible, eye-opening book that calls into question the high pressure, unethical, slander tactics used against academics, religious figures, journalists and political figures who speak out against the American Israel Public Affairs Committee's overzealous involvement and desirous control of economic and military diplomacy as well as education. This is a group that nobody wants to mess around with. The power hungry citizens and 'big wigs' in this lobby have a disturbing amount of clout that really makes you look at government differently. To stand up and speak out against Israel's lobby and their very questionable dealings in national and foreign affairs is essentially to put a career/social/economic death mark on your forehead. The shady dealings that this group instigates and leads, whether it be on a large or small scale, undermines the ethics and principles for which this country and the Jewish faith stand for. This book is an education in itself. Although disturbing, because it makes the Constitution seem like a useless piece of paper with 'silly' writing on it, Findley's book is very benefical if you want to know how a facet of foreign and national policy operates.

Summary: Informative but flawed
Comment: I liked this book to be honest. It highlighted Israeli espionage in the United States, a topic which is usually washed away, except for the high-publicity Jon Pollard case. However, reading the book, I thought Rep. Findley was a bit naive or in denial. In one chapter, he seems sympathetic toward an Arab-American who called Yassir Arafat a "man of peace". If Arafat is a man of peace, I'm a Martian. In another portion of the book, he glosses over Jesse Jackson's notorious "hymietown" comments. While American institutions should have been defended more aggressively from Israeli esionage, and still should be, he seemed to ignore or sugarcoat Arab and Islamist terrorism. Well informed book written from a hazy perspective.
