Middle East issues are a deadly global virus - William A. Cook & Jaffer Ali

Middle East issues can no longer be considered an “isolated virus” that can be contained or controlled. Whether we want to admit it, we’re all in this struggle together.

Perhaps it’s fitting that the area in the world where the Old and New Testament purportedly had their roots should be the battlefield over basic humanitarian questions.

Should every man, woman and child have a right to live and realize their manifest destinies?

Two of Dandelion’s books, Tracking Deception, by William A. Cook

and Palestine and the Middle East: A Chronicle of Passion and Politics, by Jaffer Ali, focus on these moral and ethical aspects of the Middle East conflict.

Both men are humanitarians.

Dr. William A. Cook is an academician who has been Chair, Dean and Vice President of seven U.S. colleges/universities and Jaffer Ali is a Palestinian-American businessman who has written on Middle East issues, politics and business ethics for over twenty-five years. He is editor and editor and contributor to Viewpoint, a Gopher Central free newsletter that is the largest publication dealing with the Palestinian-Israeli conflict in the English language.

Writes Jaffer Ali: “The Palestinian struggle is actually a human one that transcends Palestine… There is no longer a place for Zionism in the 21st Century… as long as there is any state in the Middle East that defines citizenship by racial, ethnic or religious categorization, there will never be a lasting peace.

"…Suicide bombings are acts of desperation and mean that a people have been pushed to the brink.

About Tracking Deception, Alexander Cockburn, co-editor of Counterpunch, states: "By rights this book's cover should show Bill Cook, triumphant on the flight deck of Truth, with a big sign behind him saying Mission Accomplished. He nails Bush's lethal Middle East rampages fair and square."

“Bill Cook offers elegant prose and literary references to his penetrating insights into the key issues of our time. Dante and John Ciardi help the reader understand the criminal minds of Bush and Sharon that will lead readers to act and read more,: writes Saul Landau, Director of Digital Media & International Outreach Program, College of LSA & SS, California Polytechnic University
