78. Douglas Foster, Mother Jones, Feb./March 1985.
79. White, Morass; George Black et al., Garrison Guatemala (Monthly
Review, 1984), 150f.; Brown, With Friends, 196f; Schoultz, in Diskin,
Trouble, 187-9.
80. E.g., the New Republic has carried excellent articles on the continuing
atrocities in Guatemala (Allan Nairn, April 11, 1983; Piero Gleijeses,
June 10, 1985) with not a word on Israel’s crucial contribution. The
practice is common even apart from such extreme Party Line journals.
On Israel’s role in Guatemala, see Fateful Triangle and sources cited
there; also Black, Garrison Guatemala, 154f.; McClintock, American
Connection, II, 192f., 219; Cynthia Arnson, New Outlook (Tel Aviv),
March 1984; Victor Perera, Mother Jones, July 1985. On the more
general picture, see also Israel Shahak, Israel’s Global Role (Association
of Arab-American University Graduates, Belmont, 1982); Eric Hooglund,
Israel’s Arm’s Exports: Proxy Merchant for the U.S. (American-Arab Anti-
Discrimination Committee, 1982); Aharon Kleiman, Israeli Arms Sales
(Jaffee Center for Strategic Studies, Tel Aviv, 1984); Goldfield, Garrison
State.
81. The same is true of much of scholarship. Thus, in his standard work on
militarism in Latin America, Edwin Lieuwen reviews the CIA coup in
1954 with not a mention of the United States; Generals vs. Presidents
(Praeger, 1964), 41.
82. On these matters, see PEHR, I.
83. Yoav Karni, Yediot Ahronot, quoted by Goldfield, Garrison State, 36;
Gidon Samet, “Strategic cooperation: the real reason,” Ha’aretz, Nov. 6,
1983; see also Wolf Blitzer, Jerusalem Post (April 22, 1984), generally
confirming the picture. On this and other factors in the “special
relationship” between Israel and the US, see Fateful Triangle.
84. Wolf Blitzer, Jerusalem Post, June 17, 1983.
