One Nation Under Israel was first published on the very threshold of the Gulf War. It was then entitled: Holocaust II, Saving Israel From Suicide. His book is a scholarly history of the creation of the State of Israel in 1948 by the United Nations’ partitioning of Palestine. Documented also is Israel’s subsequent expansion by war and encroachment into neighboring territories as well as the lobbying history of the State of Israel in the American Congress.
Hurley as a historian accordingly relied exclusively upon as his sources “well known and highly respected Israeli and Jewish writers, members or former members of the Israeli government, well known and generally accepted historians and the objective news media.”
Andrew Hurley’s unique message to the entire world is that the American Congress has for decades been virtually under the control of a lobbying machine dominated by the State of Israel. His book, One Nation Under Israel, may be the first historically documented expose of the hijacking of the American Congress.
Those who govern the State of Israel receive billions of dollars in U.S. Foreign Aid. Millions of these dollars are recycled into the American Israeli Public Affairs Council (AIPAC). This lobby, acting in concert with possibly as many as 100 American financed pro-Israeli PAC’s, then influences and intimidates a sufficient number of our elected Congressmen, who provide more billions for Israel, and the cycle continues.
More expensive than the direct cost of foreign aid is the effect of the Israeli lobby’s influence over U.S. policy involving other countries and the resultant human cost of warmaking over the last 50 years.
U.S. warmaking in the Middle East appears to have only one lasting beneficiary, the State of Israel. Israel’s military and political power has been magnified by the destruction of its neighbors and the enormous military aid it has received from the American taxpayer. Former Under Secretary of State and Ambassador to the U.N., George Ball, once stated: “Practically every congressman and senator says his prayers to the AIPAC lobby…they have done an enormous job of corrupting the American democratic process.”
Andrew Hurley’s magnificent book clearly explains why and how.
