I'm reading Ward Churchill's new book titled "On the Justic of Roosting Chickens." In the section on the U.S. history of flouting and disobeying international law, it seems like every other entry is an example of the U.S. sticking up for Israel, or at most supporting UN resolutions with no teeth.
Reading this book at the same time as Cockburn's book on the politics of
anti-semitism is enough to make anybody a die-hard anti-zionist.
