New Online Publication Israel's violations of the Arms Export Control Act (AECA) are increasingly countenanced by conservative and liberal officials alike in Washington, DC. Twenty-six years ago, Washington conservatives were at least willing to apply mild penalties for Israel's misdeeds with American weaponry in Lebanon. Today, liberals are largely silent and conservatives indulgent of Israel's misapplication of American firepower in Lebanon in 2006 and throughout the past decade in the Gaza Strip with flechettes, F-16s and Caterpillar bulldozers. The damage to American integrity is significant and noted widely by people in the region. Download Publication: Arms Export Control Act: Israeli Breaches and U.S. Indulgence Result in Palestinian and Lebanese Civilian Casualties The Nexus Between Palestine, Iraq & Lebanon By Hani A. Faris, Ph.D.  Since ancient times, Palestine, Iraq and Lebanon have shared a cultural, religious and social bond. Today, they share a common reality—a state of war. In this new publication, Dr. Hani Faris debates whether the three wars waged on each country, in which the U.S. is directly involved in or in support of, is a chance occurrence or share a common cause and serve the same interest. Dr. Faris details and provides supporting evidence on the four elements that form this nexus between the three wars: the principle of national security; the ideology developed to rationalize and promote all three wars; policy tools adopted to aid the war effort; and diplomacy used to ensure that no settlement of the conflicts is reached unless it is that of the current U.S. administration. Dr. Faris also analyzes the Bush administration’s policies and its approach towards the Middle East and argues that stability will never be reached in the region unless all three conflicts are resolved.
