Since 1948: Israel's Atrocities and America's Complicity: A Documented History
SINCE 1948: Israel's Atrocities and America's Complicity
A Documented History
Nearly eight decades of one nation's conduct, and another's unconditional support for it - traced chapter by chapter, source by source, from the founding violence of 1948 to the strikes on aid workers and paramedics in Gaza today.
This book does not argue from outrage. It argues from the record: declassified U.S. government cables, Israel's own state commissions of inquiry, United Nations findings, International Criminal Court and International Court of Justice proceedings, leaked internal newsroom memos, and on-the-record admissions from the American officials who administered the policies themselves.
Inside, you'll find:
- The 1967 USS Liberty attack and the cover-up that followed, in the words of the U.S. Navy officers who investigated it
- Israel's own Kahan Commission finding a sitting defense minister personally responsible for a massacre - and his election to prime minister eighteen years later
- The "Hannibal Directive," confirmed by Israel's own former defense minister, and what it meant for Israeli hostages on October 7
- A senior U.S. State Department human rights official's on-record account of the only country his office was never permitted to sanction, no matter the violation
- The sitting International Criminal Court arrest warrant an American president has declined to enforce, and the senators who called the same court's Putin warrant a triumph for international law weeks before calling this one illegitimate
- How American media coverage measurably diverged from the documented record - and the journalists and officials, across the political spectrum, now breaking from it
Nineteen chapters. Hundreds of sources, cited chapter by chapter. Where the facts are genuinely disputed, this book says so. Where they are not, it asks why so little has changed.
Since 1948 is for readers who want the sourced version of an argument they've mostly heard shouted.
