Re: [Marxism] US Left and Cartoon Crisis

[steve heeren <tzsche@xxxxxxx>]

Did anyone on this list read this article by James Petras? It was
eye-opening to me but he seems to be saying that the tail (Israel) is
wagging the dog (US Empire) Any of you have any fundamental disagreements
with it (and not his other positions such as his hostility to Hugo Chavez'
government)?

|I tried to post this a few hours ago but it appears not to have gotten
through, nor did I receive any error or rejection message. I'm repositing it
as plain text -- leaving in only the URL and the start of the article -- to
see if the list accepts it that way. If it is being screened by a moderator,
maybe that person (Louis Proyect ?) will let me know what the proper
procedure is.

overstates the extent of Zionist influence over U.S. policy toward Arabs and
Muslims -- and seems to imply that the U.S. might not be so bad without that
influence -- his exposure of their role in this provocation is important.
