Seller's Description:
Like New. Unread and unopened! (Hard to list as 'New' when it's over 40 years old). ISBN: 0-911038-68-X. 73pp. During the past quarter of a century, the American people have contributed mammoth moral, political and material support to Israel, a state which has been represented to them as "the only democracy in the Middle East. âÂÂÂÂOne regrettable consequence of the political support given the Israelis has been the steady erosion of America's moral leadership in the world community as, one after another, the other members of that community have reached the conclusion that the Zionist state has exhausted the reserves of international good will with which it began its existence and have drawn away from it. In its support of Israel, the United States increasingly has found itself either totally isolated or in scant and unaccustomed company. Constrained by U.S. economic power to avoid offending us, our traditional allies in the Western world have taken refuge in embarassed silence in United Nations voting, forced by circumstances to "abstain" when conscience bade them speak out. American financial support of Israel has been given at incalculable cost to our country. Lacking the money to give away, we had to borrow it and it has now become a part of our national debt â” no part of which is ever paid off. With the money already given, we have imposed upon our grandchildren and their grandchildren a staggering interest burden of more than seventy-five billion dollars over the next four generations â” and at the end of that time our descendants will still owe the money we originally borrowed! For Israel's sake, we are borrowing ourselves into national insolvency. Significantly, the burden grows heavier every year as Israel requires more, not" less, financial support. In the circumstances, ought we not to ask ourselves: is it a worthy cause to which we Americans are contributing so much? Is âÂÂÂÂthe only democracy in the Middle Eastâ truly a democracy within our meaning of the term? The real facts are hard to come by-an American general who formerly headed the United Nations Truce Supervision Organization in Palestine said recently: âÂÂÂœThe American mind is being manipulated as far as Palestine is concerned. â This book by an author renowned by his penetrating studies of some hallowed institutions throws new light on the subject'. Israel⦠Our "gallant little Middle East ally"? "The only democracy in a sea of Arab tyranny"? Worth U.S. support to the tune of billions of dollars year in and year out? Yes, the Palestinian intifada continues to rage, and the Zionist state has completely exhausted the reserves of international good will with which it began its existence more than forty years ago. But American financial support continues to flow to Israel, at an increasingly enormous cost to our moral leadership in the world. Today, with ours the highest per-capital and total debt figure on the planet, should the U. S. continue to finance what many now see as the world's most oppressive state? Difficult questions, to be sureâ”but perhaps not as difficult as the Israeli nation and its leadership. While the West has been conditioned to believe that Israel is "the only democracy in the Middle East, " the way Israel has conducted its internal affairs for the past forty years tells a far different story. In Democracy in Israel Norman Dacey, one of the first Americans to call attention to the discrepancy between Israel's image and the facts, presents the political and legal realities of modern Israel clearly and convincingly. After reading this book you may not view Israel the same way as beforeâ”but then maybe you shoudn't. At a time when the call for democracy is at a fever pitch around the world, from China to Eastern Europe to Latin America, and America's own economic problems demand a more careful allocation of our aid abroad, isn't...
