America's New Circus Diplomacy and the Muslim World By Ben Tanosborn

This strain in foreign policy, at a formative stage in the 1920’s and 1930’s, started less as an anti-Muslim stand and more of a pro-Zionist buildup. By the 1960’s, it had matured to become a strong citadel in America’s foreign policy, one which made Israel an unassailable subject of criticism in the US. To deny that from within would be nothing short of American self-denial; to deny that from without implies ignorance of America and its composition of power. So much for any reasonable mediation the US could offer on the Israeli-Palestine issue.
