The Unholy Alliance between The United States and Israel. This ia lengthy article because it is comprehensive. I was interviewed for it. Here is part of what I said:

Dr. Qumsiyeh said if he was able to speak with Pres. Obama directly, he would encourage him to be courageous and take on the powerful lobbying forces that shape America's foreign policy. “I would tell him that it takes courage to make change in the system. That each of us is more powerful than we think. That is why it was possible to challenge the power of the system in Egypt and Tunisia by common people. He knows this having worked as a community organizer. Now that he is president he seems to have lost that courage and is now going along with the system. He has not closed Guantanamo, he has not ended the imperial war on Iraq, he has expanded the imperial war on Afghanistan, he has actually expanded wars in Somalia, Libya et cetera. Where is the ‘change we can believe in?'” Dr. Qumsiyeh asked. http://www.finalcall.com/artman/publish/National_News_2/article_7769.shtml
