Juan Cole on a roll

His first post concerns the spy investigation and the question of "dual loyalties." Cole dissects the question and in doing so shows how the US has become complicit with Likud party policies:

"Many readers have written me to express concern about my safety and/or reputation since I have spoken out frankly on the horrible Likud policies of stealing Palestinian lands and brutalizing them with occupation. I'm not a babe in the woods, and I know very well that saying these things is taboo in American political culture...."

The second post pursues a reasonable explanation on how the Pentagon inadvertantly got embroiled in a spy scandal involving AIPAC and a possible answer to why the FBI has gone after it so aggressively:

"...The puzzlement expressed by many AIPAC-linked figures and supporters as to why the organization is being investigated by the FBI derives from their experience with the legislature....

I've been thinking more about why FBI director Robert Mueller might have an interest in the issue of Israeli spying in the US and the disproportionate influence of pro-Likud Party lobbies in the US...."
