This book explains the institutionalization of nearly unconditional
American support of Israel during the Reagan administration, and
its persistence in the first Bush administration in terms of the
competition of belief systems in American society and politics.
Michael Thomas explains policy changes over time and provides
insights into what circumstances might lead to lasting changes in
policy. The volume identifies the important domestic, social,
religious and political elements that have vied for primacy on
policy towards Israel, and using case studies, such as the 1981
AWACS sale and the 1991 loan guarantees, argues that policy debates
have been struggles to embed and enforce beliefs about Israel and
about Arabs. It also establishes a framework for better
understanding the influences and constraints on American policy
towards Israel. An epilogue applies the lessons learned to the
current Bush administration.
American Policy toward Israel will be of interest to students of US
foreign policy, Middle Eastern politics and international
relations.
