One Nation Under Israel [Paperback]

Andrew J. Hurley (Author)

Book Description

ISBN-10: 0967624703 | ISBN-13: 978-0967624709 | Publication Date: May 1, 1999

Former Under Scretary of State and Ambassador to the UN George Ball stated, "Practically every congressman and senator says his prayers to the AIPAC lobby... they have done an enormous job of corrupting the American democratic process."

Andrew Hurley has done a masterful job in telling the story of Israel and the power of AIPAC over the U.S. Congress. This remarkable book was first published under the title Holocaust II, Saving Israel From Suicide as a public service at the end of a long, successful financial and law career.

Arguably, US warring in the Middle East both through its own forces and through United Nations' actions, has only one lasting beneficiary--the state of Israel. Issrael's power has been magnified by the destruction of its neighbors. Andrew Hurley's thoroughly researched book explains why.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"During the 1967 Six-Day War between Israel and Egypt, the U.S. electronic and intelligence research vessel Liberty was cruising in international waters in the Mediterranean and was suddenly attacked by Israeli torpedo boats and jet aircraft. The attack, which lasted almost two hours, killed 34 American sailors and wounded 171.

"The story of the intentional attack on the USS Liberty and the shameful efforts of the U.S. government to cover up Israel's duplicity, is told in a book entitle Assault on the Liberty, by the cypher officer of the USS Liberty, James M. Ennes, Jr., published after his retirement from the navey in 1980,"(p. 141). -- Christian News, February 1999

... current title very accurately reflects the current American, as distinct from the Israeli problem -- NOPE

Author/historian Andrew Hurley has packed so many facts and ... cogently reasoned conclusions. It's quotable from beginning to end -- NOPE

My theory on book reviews is that 99 percent of those who read the review will never read the book, no matter how strongly I recommend it. So it's okay to reprint as many of its salient facts and conclusions as space permits. However author/historian Andrew Hurley has packed so many facts and such sensible, cogently reasoned conclusions into this book's 307 pages that it's impossible to just skim off the top. It's quotable from beginning to end.

Readers are best advised to get their own copy and settle in for what will be a rewarding but not entirely easy read. Hurley was a corporate lawyer for 40 years before he retired and brought out the first edition of this book in 1990, just before the Gulf war rearranged the furniture on the deck of America's sinking "Israel, right or wrong" Middle East policy. Accordingly, he has laid out each of his 14 chapters almost like legal briefs. He states the facts of each case as he sees them, the opposing arguments where they exist, the counter-arguments, and then what any sensible judge would concludeunless that judge happened to be running for elective office in the United States, and therefore was scared to death of the Israel lobby. -- Mr. Richard L. Curtis, Executive Editor of The Washington Report on Middle East Affairs

From the Publisher

One Nation Under Israel may be the first historically documented expose of the hijacking of the American Congress. It is a popular lament that "Congress is out of control," but nothing could be further from the truth. For as author Andrew Hurley clearly explains, Congress is not under the control of its constituents but of a foreign power. One Nation Under Israel reveals a 51rst state with more power than the other 50 put together. And now..the reader will know. C. E. Carlson, Publisher

5.0 out of 5 stars A story that cries out to be told, June 22, 2002

By

This review is from: One Nation Under Israel (Paperback)

I found this book totally enthralling because it tells us a story that is crying out to be told, particularly in the United States. It tackles so many of the questions that have arisen over the years with regard to the Middle East and which can never be satisfactorily answered by a press and, dare I say it? An entire US population, that is not allowed to speak of things as they really are.

Hurley writes superbly and never rants. He doesn't need to: a calm, factual telling with credible documentation is all that's required. He speaks of how the original, more idealistic vision of Ben Gurion (albeit ably abetted by the terrorism of Begin & Shamir's bloody gangs) was later hi-jacked as these two entered politics as the Likud in 1977 and the entire future of Israel was jeopardized for the pseudo-religious dream of a "Greater Israel"; holding onto captured territories whatever the cost to ordinary Israelis, Palestinians and Americans (and it is great - to all!).

Hurley shows how virtually the entire US Congress is under the control of AIPAC, the huge Israeli lobby group; how successive administrations have been hamstrung by AIPAC in their efforts to achieve peace. AIPAC virtually makes US policy in all matters relating to Israel and this policy may often be against the interests of Israel AND, ominously, against the interests of the people of the United States. The most chilling revelations, for me, come when Hurley speaks of Israeli espionage in the USA. According to him, the US foreign policy-making and military research establishments are fully penetrated by Israeli intelligence: often, a new and top secret weapon will have hardly left the drawing board before Israeli defense experts are at the Pentagon asking for it. Sometimes acquiring it ahead of the US military.

Hurley sees Israel as being on a path to destruction and urges that it is the duty of the USA to demonstrate `tough love' and deny Israel's extremist leaders, and especially AIPAC, the free hand they now have. He points out that AIPAC claims to represent all US Jewry but that many dissident voices have been suppressed under dire threat of social and career consequences. If these voices could only speak out loud and clear, Hurley says that the race to destruction could be halted.

Two deficiencies appear in the book. The first is that Likud is squarely blamed for Israel's taking the path to destruction, yet there were ten years following the six-day war and the subsequent election of Begin in which the Labor party was in power and could have avoided this. The second deficiency is that most of the book dwells in the late 1980s and we hunger for an update yet, as we read, we realize that things have changed very little and we see shadowy events of those times in bright sunlight today!

If and when ever America awakens to these undeniable realities, things will go badly for Israel and AIPAC will have much to answer for.

This book should be read with an open mind by everybody who cares about the future of the US and Israel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Is it a case of Wag the Dog, or is the U.S. Israel's tail?, December 22, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: One Nation Under Israel (Paperback)

I can't recommend this book emphatically enough. It's thoroughly well-researched and logically laid out. If you somehow doubted that Israel deliberately and relentlessly attacked the USS Liberty in 1967 and that our own government shamelessly conspired to cover up the heinous deed, neither the slimmest doubt nor the most emphatic, imploring claim of anti-Semitism can ever again persuade you to look away from the seamless facts presented in One Nation Under Israel. Everyone, whether American, Israeli or citizen of the world should read this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read for All Americans, March 7, 2004

This review is from: One Nation Under Israel (Paperback)

Andrew Hurley puts into print what many people have known or suspected for many years. The extent of power that the AIPAC holds is mindblowing and a threat to democracy. Hurley does an incredable job of presenting the facts, both sides of arguement and then his opinion. This book is a must read for all Americans. We need to learn why our governments foreign policies, specifically in the middle east, has been such a failure.
