"Israel’s political and economic influence upon U.S. foreign policy is not countered by any Arab lobbying in the political arena or by any attempt to educate the American people on the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict nor on the truth regarding Islam. Americans are only exposed to an Israeli monologue that has usurped American foreign policy and constructed Islam as the new threat to western civilization."

"Most in the Arab world know America is the land of hypocrisy and double standards when it comes to Israel and American foreign policy."

"The stories of Freeman-Maloy and Noble are related and illustrate a disturbing fact common to tyrannies—the setting up of tribunals to prosecute political dissenters. In these Star Chambers, the outcome is a foregone conclusion because the accused cannot avail himself of the rights he would otherwise have in a court of law."
