Israel: A Partial Indictment
By Avishai Margalit
The Fateful Triangle: The United States, Israel and the Palestinians
by Noam Chomsky
South End Press, 481 pp., $10.00 (paper)
In his new book Noam Chomsky claims to describe and to assess the relations between the United States, Israel, and the Palestinians. But Chomsky's 'fateful triangle' has a rather bizarre shape: it is really a triangle with only one clearly visible side, the Israeli side. Most of his long book is about Israel's behavior toward the Palestinians, which was literally highlighted by the Israeli flares over the Sabra and the Shatila camps. Indeed, Israel's war in Lebanon, dubbed in Begin's newspeak 'Peace for Galilee,' is a main concern.
