Al Jazeera Interview: Francis Boyle

Following are excerpts from an interview with Francis Boyle, professor of international law, which aired on Al-Jazeera TV, October 26, 2010:

Francis Boyle: I am not here to defend and explain Zionism in America. I am here to help the Palestinians. Ross, Miller, and Kurtzer - whom I was up against personally, at the Middle East peace negotiations, for Dr. Haidar Abd Al-Shafi - were more loyal to Israel than they were to the United States of America under President Bush Sr. And Ross is now running the show for Obama. I think that provides absolute proof that the policy has not changed at all from 1991 until day, 2010. Ross the Zionist, who is more loyal to Israel than to the United States, is still running on the show for Obama at the White House.

[...]

In fact, when it comes to US foreign policy to oppress the Palestinians, nothing has changed. Obama was bought and paid for by Zionists. That's why Rahm Emanuel was his chief-of-staff, until just recently, when he decided to run for mayor of Chicago. Emanuel was bought and paid for to be put in there, the same way with Ross and the White House. Mrs. Clinton sold her soul to the Zionists in New York to get elected as senator from New York.

[...]

As you well know, all the major US news media sources are Zionist - every one of them. Likewise, higher education, here, in America, has become predominantly Zionist in its orientation, since I entered college in 1968. As a matter of fact, if I were trying to become a professor today, the Zionists would make sure I could not become a professor - exactly as they did to my friend Norman Finkelstein at DePaul University.

[...]

We have to understand that historically, Israel has always been nothing more than a Jewish Bantustan, set up by the Western colonial powers, in the Middle East, to control and dominate the Middle East at their behest. It is that simple. Israel does now what the United States tells it to do. Even last week, President Peres publicly stated that Israel could not even exist without the United States - and that's correct. The British, the Americans, and the French created Israel as a Jewish Bantustan and stuck it there in the heart of Palestine and the Arab world to control and dominate that region of the world.
