Salaam,
Not sure if this should go in current events, but why not?
If anyone has been paying attention, The Israel Lobby has provoked a pretty strong reaction since it's release. I know people thought Carter's book on the Israel-Palestine issue was controversial, but this takes the cake and is much more incriminating. The authors wrote an article on the Israel lobby and it's affect on US foreign policy which caused so much controversy, they expanded it into a book.
It's a good book, too. I'm not too far in but it's already SO good. Though even just the first chapter is full of so many sickening figures, like how much tax payers end up paying just to given Israel "loans", and how many exceptions Israel gets from the US, and how they basically get away with anything, and the weapons they receive far exceed what's even considered legal.
Has anyone read this book/is reading it now? If so, what did you think of it? If you haven't, I would strongly recommend it.
