Reform is favourite to win the Runcorn and Helsby by-election, overturning Labour's 14,700 majority. Why? It might have something to do with having the nation's third-highest number of asylum seekers, says Steven Tucker.

An expose of American foreign policy

category international | anti-war / imperialism | other press author Tuesday April 18, 2006 13:19author by Paul - .author email tarbhmaith at imagine dot ie Report this post to the editors

Is the Israeli lobby all powerful

This link explains how the objectives of the Israeli lobby in the US coincide with the general thrust of American foreign policy since the second world war.

The author (of the link) states that the United States has had a consistent policy since World War II of fighting all regimes across the Third World who insist on controlling their national resources, whether it be land, oil, or other valuable minerals. This extends from Iran in 1953 to Guatemala in 1954 to the rest of Latin America all the way to present-day Venezuela. Africa has fared much worse in the last four decades, as have many countries in Asia.

If the Israel lobby was forcing the United States government to pursue policies in the Middle East that are inconsistent with its global policies elsewhere, then an argument can be made that the Israeli lobby has hijacked American foreign policy. This, however, is far from what happens. While US policies in the Middle East may often be an exaggerated form of its repressive and anti- democratic policies elsewhere in the world, they are not inconsistent with them.

Too often the media want to protray an image of the all powerful ,all knowing Israeli lobby manipulating the US for their own ends, this allows many to deny that responsibility for Israel's actions ultimately rests with the US.
