U.S. Middle East Policy: It's More than AIPAC

Resumo

Abstract

As the world approaches the 40th anniversary of the June 1967 war - and its main consequence, the ongoing Israeli Occupation of Arab territories since then the prospects are not particularly bright that the on-going crisis between Israel and the Palestinians will soon end even if some peace initiatives are currently being proposed. The toll of suffering and bitterness the occupation has taken on Palestinians and Israelis alike can hardly be measured. The gulf that has appeared between the peoples is reminiscent of what emerged in Algeria between French pied noirs and the Algerian Arab and Berber peoples.
