Once again this very astute observer of political events, especially in the Mid-East, provides a much larger political context to understand the recent attacks on the US embassies in Libya, Egypt, and Yemen, and other related protests in Arab states. The reason for these events, the Zionist sponsored film entitled, "The Innocence of Muslims", was quickly latched onto by US media and officials as the reason for the attacks and protests. Could it be that Empire agents need to distract attention from the bigger issue of US/NATO actions in the Middle East? Prashad argues that these events are rooted in the humiliation suffered by Arabs across the region due to widespread political interference by US/NATO agents and their Arab collaborators.
