"Jim Petras has been one of the fewcourageous individuals, in or outside ofacademia, to take a critical view of the pro-Israel lobby and its influence over US MiddleEast policy and to challenge the "conven-tional wisdom" on the part of the Left thatIsrael acts as a "cop on the beat" and issimply serving America's imperial interests."
 —Jeff Blankfort A leading Jewishauthority in the US on the pro-IsraelLobby
