L'Affaire FreemanThe American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) is the leading organization of the pro-Israel lobby in the U.S. Four years ago, AIPAC fired its foreign policy chief, Steve Rosen, who was indicted under the Espionage Act for transferring top-secret Pentagon documents to the Israeli embassy. While Rosen was awaiting trial, he read about the nomination of Charles Freeman, former U.S. ambassador to Saudi Arabia, to chair President Obama's National Intelligence Council. Our latest Link issue by James M. Wall, picks up the story at this point. Click here for the Current Issue. Our Featured Issue from the Archive: Israeli governments have assiduously courted America's Christian Zionists and honored their leaders (Pat Robertson and the late Jerry Falwell), choosing to ignore the anti-Semitism inherent in the Christian Zionists' belief that in the "End Days" Jews must convert to Christianity or perish. Christian Zionists in the U.S., who numbered some 40 million in 1983, when our featured Link from the archive was written, constitute a powerful adjunct to the pro-Israel lobby. During Benjamin Netanyahu's first term as Israel's Prime Minister, when his desire for a White House meeting was rebuffed by President Clinton, some 500 Christian Zionists and their Jewish allies gathered in Washington's Mayflower Hotel to demonstrate their solidarity with Netanyahu and send Clinton a message. O. Kelly Ingram, professor emeritus of Parish Ministry at Duke University’s School of Divinity, is the author of “Christian Zionism.” Click here for the Featured Issue. An AMEU Website Exclusive: Presidential elections will be held in Iran on June 12, 2009. To help understand the historical background and importance of the tenth presidential election to be held in Iran, we invited Professor Mehdi Noorbaksh of Harrisburg University of Science and Technology to provide an overview of Iran's recent past and insights on its future. His article “Iran: Yesterday and Today” is the first website exclusive in AMEU’s Public Affairs Series. Israel Shahak and the Koenig Report: We have resurrected from ancient files “The Koenig Report,” an Israeli official’s observations of what the country might do to handle its increasingly troublesome Arab citizens. The racism inherent in so many of its passages is laid bare by the late Israel Shahak, whose comments appear in italics throughout the text. “Palaces of Injustice” has two other components, an address given by Felicia Langer, an Israeli Jew, in 1976 on Israeli violations of human rights in the Occupied Territories, and a review of “The Arabs in Israel,” by Sabri Jiryis, an Israeli Arab. “Palaces” has been added to the “AMEU Publications” section of this website under “Resources.” Click here for the PDF.
