"America's Last Taboo" - Edward Said sitt innlegg i "New Left Review" nr 6 Nov/Dec 2000

Edward Said oppsummerer om Oslo-avtalene, om Camp David, og ikke minst om AIPAC sin tyngde i USA's politikk.

En av hans konklusjoner:
"Since the mid 1980s I have tried to impress on the PLO leadership, and every Palestinian or Arab I have met, that the quest for a protector in the White House is a complete chimera, since all recent presidents have been devoted to Zionist aims, and that the only way to change US policy is through a mass campaign on behalf of Palestinian human rights, out-flanking the Zionist establishment and going straight to the American people."

Og videre:
... "unless American Zionism is taken on in its homelands, all attempts to parley with the United States or Israel will lead to the same dismal and discrediting outcome."

The Guardian har 16. august 2024 en fyldig oversikt over Aipac sin pengebruk ved valget i 2024, og resultatene av dett, se Kilde.
