The Passionate Attachment
America's unrequited love for Israel
In a Foreign Policy in Focus column entitled “Syrian Repression, the Chinese-Russian Veto, and U.S. Hypocrisy,” Prof. Stephen Zunes writes:
Although the joint Russian and Chinese veto of the resolution is inexcusable, the self-righteous reaction by U.S. officials betrays hypocrisy on a grand scale and fails to take into account a series of policy blunders that have contributed to the tragic impasse.If anyone knows about hypocrisy, it’s Zunes. As Professor William I. Robinson, the author of the seminal critique of the “democracy promotion” establishment, Promoting Polyarchy: Globalization, US Intervention, and Hegemony, has written of the man who funds Zunes’ work:
That [Peter] Ackerman is a part of the U.S. foreign policy elite and integral to the new modalities of intervention under the rubric of “democracy promotion,” etc., is beyond question. There is nothing controversial about that and anyone who believes otherwise is clearly seriously misinformed or just ignorant.
