Washington has poured billions into Israel's economy and military
and, since 1967, Israel has undertaken innumerable operations on
Washington's behalf against states that reject US supremacy and
economic domination. The self-appointed Jewish state has become a
watch dog capable of sufficiently punishing neighboring countries
discourteous towards the West. Stephen Gowans challenges the specious
argument that Israel controls US foreign policy, tracing the
development of the self-declared Jewish state through its efforts to
suppress regional liberation movements integrated into the US empire
as a pro-imperialist Sparta of the Middle East.
