Why is the Israel-Lobby Pushing for War?

In a 2002 article, Jason Vest of The Nation wrote about the link between the Committee of Present Danger (CPD), the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (JINSA) and the Center for Security Policy (CSP). This is a dense but important article that exposes the core relationship between Zionism, neoconservatives, and the new Middle East project.

Read an earlier post about the intriguing link between the Israel-Lobby, Neoconservative hawks, and the military industry complex!

Hi Naj,

My friend returned my book and I'm now attempting to slog through it (I got 90% on the mid-term)... The book is dense also.

This post, and the article you linked to made me think of the (idealogical/fanatical) comparisons I've seen of the Muslim Brotherhood and the neoconservative "Chicago Boys."

An article on "The Power of Nightmares" also in the Nation came up: Beware a Holy War

Nunya, fanatics may speak different languages, worship different temples, dress in different attire and eat different drinks, but they all share a similar syndrome: Schizophrenia and Psychosis!

That was my point. That's in the article, and so are the
Blowback facts.

Buzzflash ins't a mainstream media outlet, but finally someone exposes the anti-war movement in the US in the mainstream media. (the lady with bloody hands in Condi's face)

Linda Milazzo: Captured red-handed by the media -- at last

It's been here, it's just been hidden.

Oh, yeah, I almost laughed when they mentioned in the article you linked to that the funder of the Israeli settlements made his money on the California lottery. The lottery got sold to California voters by promising $ to the underfunded (underfunded because of prop 13, the lowering taxes initiative, by the way) education system.

And last week's fires show just how in control of politics in CA the real estate developers are.
