Subject: Zunes articles #166: Israel, Gaza, and US policy


Here is an article of mine posted last week on The Progressive magazine web 
site on how the U.S.-backed right-wing Israeli government manipulated the 
kidnapping and murder of three Israel teens to whip up ultra-nationalist 
sentiments and launch a war on Gaza:

(I was unable to send this out earlier since I am traveling in Southern 
Africa and have had only limited access to the Internet.)

Here are links to other articles of mine on the besieged Gaza Strip and U.S. 
policy towards Israel and Palestine:
