Good Muslim, Bad Muslim: America, the Cold War, and the Roots of Terror by Mahmood Mamdani
4.0
Significant depiction and reminder of the mutual relationships between the U.S. military, the CIA, Israel, cocaine drug traffickers and opium growers, the religious right, and Ivy League schools that have been intentionally hidden and go without actual accountability. The violence of the settler, especially in terms of the U.S and Israel, is utterly clear and deeply unsettling.
The quotes below were all too relevant despite its publication in 2004. I drive or walk to the grocery store and cannot hide from the signs spanning streets throughout eastern Massachusetts that claim their support of Israel. It's embarrassing, degrading, and exactly what the settlers were looking for.
"The same American liberal, who will uphold your democratic right to criticize any government in the world, including that of the United States, will consider criticism of the state of Israel, as potentially anti-Semitic, in the words of the current president of Harvard, and in effect, if not in intent."
"The state of Israel is a state. It is not a religion or a people. The Israeli state should be submitted to the same scrutiny as any other state, not only for the sake of the Palestinian people or Israeli people, but, now more than ever, for the sake of humanity."
