"For over a decade, Netanyahu has lent a hand, in various ways, to the growing military and political power of Hamas. Netanyahu is the one who turned Hamas from a terror organization with few resources into a semi-state body."

"With confidential documents, corroborated by outraged former and current U.S. officials, the author reveals how President Bush, Condoleezza Rice, and Deputy National-Security Adviser Elliott Abrams backed an armed force under Fatah strongman Muhammad Dahlan, touching off a bloody civil war in Gaza and leaving Hamas stronger than ever."

"..this problem touches something much older—the need to dehumanize our enemies.
The belief that Hamas and Palestinians in general were capable of such an atrocity seems to have helped people to accept that the scores of Palestinian babies dying in Gaza was an acceptable price tag for Hamas’ atrocities."

"..I'm deeply skeptical that the United States will actually hold Israel to account for human rights violations, for gross violations of human rights, for civilian casualties.
I think there is a track record here, and in fact a process that I’ve been a part of within the US government to review allegations of gross violations of human rights, for which there is a different process for Israel than every other country in the world.
And it is a broken process."

"This toxic romance with fascist ideals on both the Zionist left and right has led us to where we are now. It has led to an Israeli state which worships power and military might. A state which finds moral values and international law not just expendable, but inimical to the national interest. A state which upholds the supremacy of Jews over non-Jewish citizens."

"I have long said: If Israel didn’t exist, we would have to invent it." - Joseph Robinette B.

"..while U.S. officials regularly denounced violence and no doubt feared it, there was an increasing sense that the balance of power had shifted in a way that held out new possibilities advantageous to Washington. First, there was a reassessment of military forces in the field with a clear understanding of where superiority rested. The myth of a David versus Goliath in the struggle over Palestine was put to rest. In short, "the demonstration of Israel's devastatingly effective military strength," as Avi Shlaim has written, "increased American admiration for Israel and underscored her value as a potential ally."

"..Israel has been assigned the role of a kind of watchdog." In that capacity, if the "Western powers will at some time prefer, for one reason or another, to shut their eyes, Israel can be relied upon to punish properly one or several of its neighboring states whose lack of manners towards the West has gone beyond permissible limits."47

Washington could not have disagreed. The U.S. Defense Department recognized Israel's potential in the protection of U.S. oil interests, and both State and Defense Department officials understood that such protection ultimately rested on the curtailment of those "whose lack of manners towards the West has gone beyond permissible limits." And this, as a result of 1948."
