The U.S. diplomatic -monopoly continues to serve as the single most effective means to accomplish Israel’s goals. It sustains Israel, protecting it from international scrutiny, and engineers the gridlock that allows the Israeli government to negotiate indefinitely.\nBolstered by September 11, U.S. policy at present, is Israel’s: fix the blame on the Palestinian partner, declare Arafat unfit to rule, and demand his removal. Aruri demonstrates how American diplomacy has come to a grinding halt, providing a cover for Ariel Sharon’s Israel to crush the Palestinians.\nNaseer Aruri is Professor Emeritus of Political Science at the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth, and the former co-chair of Amnesty International. He lectures widely on the politics and history of the Middle East.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0896086879\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: LFV.0896086879.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Aruri, Nasser\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book is in very good condition.
