Zionist Regime

Zionist Entity, Threat to International Peace and Security

Wednesday January 3, 2007

The Supreme Court of the illegal Zionist entity has authorized murders, by determining for its acts of terrorism a legal framework.

In protest to this ruling, France’ Jewish Union for Peace has issued a statement, calling on the French government to use its clout at the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) for adoption of punitive measures against Israel.

The so-called legal framework determined by the Zionist Supreme Court is an effort to interpret Israel’s acts of state terrorism and other crimes against humanity as simple acts.

On December 14 the Zionist Supreme Court authorized the armed forces to shoot anybody considered ‘inappropriate’.

In fact, the Zionist Supreme Court has authorized the indiscriminate murder of Palestinians despite the fact that according to the 4th Geneva Convention the murders of Palestinians that have crossed the 400 mark since the outbreak of the current Intefadha on September 28, 2000, are war crimes. The Zionist Supreme Court, by scornfully violating the 4th Geneva Convention, has become a threat to international peace and regional security. It is a matter of regret that Israel’s crimes against humanity including its admission of possessing nuclear weapons go unpunished.


51 Documents: Zionist Collaboration With the Nazis

Reviewed by Sara Powell

It’s no secret that Zionism embraced political expediency to advance the cause of carving Eretz-Israel from the land of its native inhabitants. In his 1983 book, Zionism in the Age of the Dictators, Lenni Brenner shows that 20th century Zionists observed shockingly few limits to that expediency. Not surprisingly, the book received little coverage in the American media. Now, in 51 Documents, Brenner has compiled a wide variety of letters, statements, articles, and judgements—some of which appeared in his earlier book—by a broad array of activists and authors that documents Zionist cooperation with the Nazis. The notion may appear doubtful (given the Zionist propaganda of the so-called holocaust). However, Brenner presents the case—made in the words of many Zionists themselves—that the Nazi agenda of expelling the Jews from Germany fit nicely with the Zionist plan for enticing those Jews into settling in Palestine and creating a new Jewish nation.

In addition to introductory and concluding chapters, the book is organized into five sections, which lead the reader through early, pre-Zionist documents; pre-Holocaust ideological factions; the so-called Holocaust era itself; and a chapter on the Stern Gang and the Nazis. Readers should note that a few documents are not indicative of collaboration in and of themselves but provide the background to others written in response. These latter do indicate levels of collaboration between Zionists and fascists, both the Nazis in Germany, and those in Mussolini’s Italy. Brenner’s brief explanatory notes at the beginning of each document are helpful, as are the glossary and index.

51 Documents assumes a certain knowledge of Zionist history, and requires a close reading and some deconstructive efforts on the part of the reader. Those willing to commit the time and effort, however, are rewarded with some stunning revelations. The reason some Zionists eschewed the boycott against Hitler’s Germany, for instance, is that they had a financial deal—Ha’avara—with Germany allowing Jews to exchange their wealth for goods to be exported to British controlled Palestine at less of a loss, as an incentive to emigrate. Those wondering why Zionists today are so organized and experienced in their public relations efforts discover that these battles have been fought before. Moreover, the section on Nazi and Zionist understandings of “nationality” versus citizenship reveals how German and Israeli practices are based on the same concept.

51 Documents also sheds a whole new light on the term “Holocaust guilt,” frequently understood to mean Western, non-Jewish guilt for not acting against the Holocaust earlier. However, these documents make it clear that the Holocaust guilt began with those Zionists who made the undoubtedly difficult, but politically expedient choice to place Eretz-Israel at the top of their priorities, above the lives of their threatened European brethren.

From a Zionist Executive Meeting speech by Yitzhak Gruenbaum on Feb. 18, 1943:

And when some asked me: “Can’t you give money from Keren Ha Yesod (Palestine Foundation Fund) to save Jews in the Diaspora?” I said: “No!” And again I say no....And, because of these things, people called me an anti-Semite, and concluded that I’m guilty, for the fact that we don’t give ourselves completely to rescue actions. (p. 211)

However difficult it may be, the reader must confront some rather disturbing conclusions. The most unsettling realization for this reviewer is that pre-Holocaust Zionists were able to politically align themselves with the Nazis because both groups fundamentally saw race as an important dividing line—and, moreover, were determined to keep it that way. From Vladimir Jabotinsky to Albert Einstein, “assimilation” of Jews into the societies in which they lived was not an acceptable option. Rather, Jewish nationalism required equality on a national level, not a personal one. As Jabotinsky explained, “It is impossible for a man to become assimilated with people whose blood is different from his own” (p. 10); in Einstein’s words, “Palestine is first and foremost not a refuge for East European Jews, but the incarnation of a reawakening sense of national solidarity” (p. 29). Finally, David Yisraeli, a member of the Stern Gang, wrote the following in late 1940, as part of a proposal to Hitler. It was delivered in 1941 to two German diplomats in Lebanon.

3. The establishment of the ‘historic’ Jewish state on a national and totalitarian basis, bound by a treaty with the German Reich, would be in the interest of a maintained and strengthened future German position of power in the Near East (p. 301).

Another disturbing conclusion a reader must inevitably face is that Zionists learned both tactical and political lessons from the Nazis and that, even today, these lessons are applied to further the Zionist cause. Although most likely known to potential readers of this book, another disturbing element is the cover-up of the less than savory roles of current Israeli leaders, including former prime ministers, in the terrorist Irgun and Stern Gang just before, during, and after the Holocaust. Likewise, the succumbing of various US officials to Zionist pressure is a familiar, but distressing, story.

51 Documents seems to represent a renewed attempt by Brenner to bring information regarding Zionist collaboration with the Nazis to US supporters of Israel…Readers of 51 Documents will find it difficult not to remove the rose colored glasses that so many seem to wear when examining Zionism.

Israeli, US Links in Jordan Blasts & Murder of Hariri

Speakers in a discussion on Russia’s Radio Mayak have discerned an "Israeli connection" in the recent bomb blasts in the Jordanian capital Amman, and after due analysis have come to the conclusion that the US was behind last February’s booby trapped bomb blast in Beirut that claimed the life of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri. In the opinion of member of the State Duma International Affairs Committee, Shamil Sultanov, the Amman bombs increased the chances of Muhammad Dahlan to replace Mahmud Abbas as leader of the Palestinian National Authority. Middle East Expert Vladimir Akhmedov pointed out that the Americans had targeted Hariri in order to get at Syrian President Bashar al-Asad and French President Jacques Chirac. Now we read some interesting excerpts from the "Panorama" programme broadcast by Russia’s Mayak radio on 11 November.

The blasts in the Jordanian capital, Amman, have shaken that country and the region as a whole, and it seems that the repercussions have gone round the world… The following is an interview with  Shamil Sultanov, member of the State Duma International Affairs Committee… and Vladimir Akhmedov, Assistant professor at the Moscow State Institute of International Relations (MGIMO) and Middle East expert… 

Question: There are already a large number of commentaries in the press. Various theories are being advanced. From your point of view, which of them is closest to the truth?

Shamil Zagitovoch Sultanov: …If you consider these blasts, there are two key points, from my point of view. First, Jordan is a key player in the Middle East for the Americans. The stance of the new king, Abdullah, who, by the way is half-English through his mother, is fairly complex because contradictions have arisen between the old Jordanian team and the new king in the last six months, even the last year. And, in principle, what has just happened is a very good opportunity for Abdullah to make certain changes, to his team and to strengthen his personal authority, and so on. And the second theory I adhere to is the Israeli connection. Abu Mazen Mahmud Abbas, the Leader of the Palestinian National Authority, is seriously ill. And many believe that his Fatah Party may not win with such a leader, that it will definitely not win the parliamentary elections scheduled to take place in the next few months. So for a very large number of players, that is, the Americans, for Israel, for Sharon, for the Egyptians, Palestinian Minister of Civilian Affairs Muhammad Dahlan would be the optimal politician to replace Abu Mazen. In that sense, these explosions, and in particular the murder, of Bashir Nafe’, the Palestinian National Authority's military intelligence chief in the West Bank, is, from my point of view, a clearing of the way for Dahlan…

Vladimir Akhmedov: It is absolutely true that a very difficult and complex process of replacement of ruling elites is taking place in the Middle East. It is made particularly complicated by the pressure that the Near East experiences from the West on issues of so-called democratization, reforms and liberalization, because the former ruling elites are naturally afraid of the possible consequences of their departure from the mechanisms of financial control that they command today, and the international community has not yet formulated a more or less intelligible mechanism for the departure of these former ruling elites.

Meanwhile, the process of the replacement of the ruling elites is gathering pace, and the US is interfering in this process both diplomatically and, as we can see in the case of Iraq, through military force. Thus, the military-civilian balance of relations in each of these states and in the Middle East as a whole is being disturbed. And Jordan is paying a very, very high price for its policy in the Middle East, a policy that is dictated in large measure by the purely geo-strategic position of the country, which is surrounded by very powerful neighbours like Israel, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and last but not the least Syria.

Akhmedov: Speaking about Syria, in what I would describe as his really epoch-making speech, Syrian President Bashar al-Asad demonstrated clearly that Syria's fundamental strategy, as it has been in the past 50 years, despite enormous pressure over the past four years on the part of Europe and the Americans, will remain…

He said the murder of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafiq al-Hariri was an element of pressure on Syria. Syrians had nothing to do with the murder. Believe me: I'm a Middle East expert. If the Syrians had wanted to exert some sort of pressure or influence on al-Hariri, they would have had a great number of other methods. Lebanon, Palestine, and the present Arab Republic of Syria, people know each other very well. They know that you are an enemy today, but tomorrow you may be a friend, and so on. And they never opt for such drastic measures, as killing each other and so on.

My personal view is that Hariri was got rid of by the Americans. And there were even two targets. The first was Syrian President Bashar al-Asad, and the second was French President Jacques Chirac. It's because Hariri was a very close friend of Chirac, very close. Hardly a month passed without a meeting between the two. He was a very close friend. People who know about politics should know what very close friendships means. And so the Americans wanted to catch them out and spoil relations between Chirac and the Arab world. And they have succeeded to a certain extent. But they did not succeed on the second point. The US has not been able to force the Syrians to capitulate, despite the intensity of its propaganda and sparing of no efforts to try to put the blame for Hariri’s murder on Damascus. The culprit in Hariri’s murder is Washington and its local agents, especially when we recall that until as late as the year 2000 before their retreat from South Lebanon, the Israelis had been running the so-called South Lebanese Army made up of Lebanese Christian collaborators, who apparently disbanded, are most probably still on the Mossad-CIA pay list, waiting for any opportunity to strike back at Lebanese unity, Syria’s staunch for Lebanon’s independence and at the Islamic Resistance or Hizbollah that has been an insurmountable obstacle to American-Israeli designs.


Zionist Hold on the West’s Media

From its inauspicious beginning towards the closing years of the 19th century, Zionism has sought to control the mass media. It started with articles and books to promote its image and to vilify its opponents and is now in almost complete control of the Western world’s media including the film industry, newspapers and the Internet. Protocol 12 of the Zionist Elders says: "It is vital that the world press should be under our control."

The founder of Zionism, Austrian Jew Theodore Hertzel, in the 1897 Basle conference in Switzerland said as follows: "We will succeed in forming a state for the Zionists and once we do it, we will gradually bring the international press under our control."

Since then the Zionists, who were planted in Palestine by the British after driving the Palestinians from their homes and hearths, have spared no efforts to carry out their poisonous propaganda by duping the western Christian world and depicting themselves as the oppressed. A look at the news agencies and major newspapers and magazines in the US and Europe reveals Zionist domination. That is the reason the news information that is diffused around the world is so biased against Muslims and in complete favour of Israel. For instance, the founder of the British news agency Reuters was a Jew named Julius Powell and that is why this news agency feels deeply indebted to the policies of international Zionism and the promotion of the unholy cause of the illegal entity called Israel.

Agence France Press or AFP as well as the Associated Press of the US are also completely under the influence of Zionism as is clear from the news coverage. Many leading American newspapers are owned and run by Jews. Iqbal Siddiqi, the Chief Editor of the English language monthly Crescent International writes in this regard: "The US media is not separate from the Zionists and the capitalist groups. These two control both the media and the government of America."

Presently, big media networks like ABC, ABS and NBC are under Zionist tutelage. For instance, the managing director of ABC is an influential Jew named Leonardo Goldenson. Recently, Ted Turner was removed from his post as the manager of the CNN international network and replaced by a Jew named Lawrence. But the American TV network notorious for its Zionist tendencies is Fox News that was set up by Australian Jew Robert Murdoch in the late 1990s. Murdoch is known for his ownership of various print and electronic media including radios, TV channels, newspaper and magazines in countries like the US, Canada, Britain and Australia. He openly parrots the policies of Zionism through his media horns. The Zionists, in fact, have taken control of the US. For instance, two Jewish brothers own New House Media Empire that runs 31 major American newspapers, the most important book publishing company, 87 cable TV networks and about 24 magazines. The Zionist hold on famous American dailies like the Washington Post, the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal is quite clear. Thus, while Jews form only 3 percent of the US population they have tightened their tentacles around the economic and political lifeline of the US.

In Europe also the case is more or less the same. In Britain, newspapers like the Daily Express, Observer, Daily Mail, News Chronicle, and Times are under the control of the Zionists. In Germany, the media institute Schpinger, which owns 30 percent of the German press follows the policies of Zionism. In France too, the Zionists control famous publications like Le Figaro and La Expresse. Thus, international Zionism has most of the western media under its control. The Zionist-influenced media always try to portray a rightful, civilized, and oppressed image of Israel, while distorting the realities about Muslims and the Arabs. In the US any statement that criticizes Zionism or the barbaric policies of the illegal Zionist entity Israel, are immediately called anti-Semitism even though the real Semites are the Arabs and millions of others in other Muslim countries. Anyone criticizing the Zionists, risks being deprived of his job, is socially ostracized and in several cases in tried and imprisoned. To quote prominent British journalist Robert Fisk in an article published in the daily Independent concerning threats against him for daring to criticize the Zionist regime: “If we wish to have a convenient life, we ought to steer clear of the criticism of the US and Israel. It is better not to write anything at all on these topic.”

In the poisonous propagandist atmosphere dominating the western media any statement that questions the legitimacy of the Zionist entity and exposes the atrocities of Israel, brings about swift media attacks. For this reason the criticism of the racist and terrorist nature of Israel by observers and world politicians including those from the Islamic Republic of Iran, have been hysterically censured in the western media. The message is clear: Nothing should be said of the realities of the Palestine crisis and the Zionist crimes. Thus it is clear that Zionism has tightened its tentacles around the Christian West and is squeezing it to a slow and painful death.


AIPAC, Symbol of Zionist Influence on US

Over 57 years have elapsed since the usurpation of Palestine by Zionist migrants from Europe who call the occupied land Israel. During these years the Palestinian people have been subjected to war, bloodshed, terror, homelessness and deprivation more than any other nation. Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have been martyred and maimed while millions of others have been homeless by the Zionists. At the same time, the Zionists have intensified efforts for destroying al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied Bait ol-Moqaddas considered by Muslims as the first Qibla. The Zionists have committed all these crimes against humanity with US support.

Why does the US support the Zionist regime? The answers are obvious because its Jewish citizens who despite accounting for a mere 2 percent of the American population draft US policy. In fact, the Zionist Americans control all US. They have control of most of the important media and have access to unlimited financial sources. The most important and influential group in the US is the American-Israeli Public Affairs Committee known as AIPAC. This group was set up in 1951 and was not so active till the 1970s. But over the past two decades AIPAC has become strong and controls the US Administration. AIPAC’s budget stands at 35 million dollars and its central bureau is located beside the US congress in Washington. This Zionist outfit on is even exempted from paying taxes and enjoys special facilities. AIPAC mainly reflects the viewpoints of Israel’s Likud party led by the Zionist prime minister Ariel Sharon. It is because of the influence of AIPAC that the US Administration does not permit any criticism of the crimes of the Zionist regime. Most of the US mass media is under the censorship and supervision of AIPAC, and the news reports are carefully prepared to depict Palestinians as violent and terrorists and the Israelis as the sufferers. AIPAC censors all news of Israeli atrocities so that the American public remains ignorant of the realities of Palestine.

AIPAC members have control over US congressmen and senators. It arranges visit to Israel for every newly elected congressman who is subsequently brainwashed by the Zionist entity. AIPAC maintains files on every congressman concerning his background and whether or not he has ever voiced anything in favour of Palestinians and against the Israelis. When an American congressman is deemed detrimental to the interests of the Zionist entity, his or her re-election is prevented by AIPAC.

US congressmen under pressure from AIPAC support even the most glaring crimes of the Zionist entity. For instance, while many countries and international bodies including the Hague tribunal condemned the construction of the barrier wall to divide the areas of Palestine occupied by the Zionists in 1948 from the areas it occupied in 1967, the US congress supported this illegal measure. Professor John Cool of the Department of History at Michigan University says in this relation: As regards the Arab-Israeli conflict, AIPAC and its allies have managed to enforce a complete censorship over the Congress. None of the senators and congressmen dare deliver a speech against the policies of Israel even in cases the Zionist regime violates international laws and the UN Security Council resolutions.

The role of AIPAC in the US presidential election is quite clear.

The role is so important that the presidential candidates prior to the election are forced to repeatedly announce their complete loyalty to the Zionist regime. During the last US presidential elections, John Kerry and George Bush danced to the tune of the Jewish lobby in order to gain the maximum votes. AIPAC has a powerful influence inside the White House itself. It is in league with the Neo-Conservatives ruling the US. The ties between AIPAC and the Christian Zionists who play a major role in the US government are very close and friendly. However, despite its wide influence in all departments of the US Administration, AIPAC does not hesitate to spy for the Zionist regime in the US.

In June 2003, an ex-employee of the US defense department passed on to Israel many classified documents. This secret information was mainly related to the Islamic Republic of Iran. AIPAC pressures US officials to tighten measures against Iran and to attempt to change the Islamic system of government in Tehran.


The Zionist Regime’s Bleak Human Rights Records 

The year 2004 came to an end while the human rights record of the illegal Zionist entity called Israel was bleaker than ever before. This is while no human right circle in the West showed the least reaction toward the inhumane crimes of the Zionists.

The situation of Palestinians kidnapped and being held at undisclosed locations is still vague. Reports from Occupied Palestine show that many Palestinian children are locked up in Israeli prisons and recently the Zionists have begun abducting and interrogating Palestinian children. The fate of many Palestinian women rounded up forcibly during the Intifadha is still unknown.

Currently 312 Palestinian children and youth are imprisoned by the Zionist regime; 74 of them have been tried and 220 of them are awaiting an unknown future in jails. 45 of these child inmates are in critical health conditions and deprived of the most basic needs of prisoners and the internationally-accepted rules regarding children’s rights.

The recent report of the Palestinian Bureau of Planning highlighted parts of the brutal crimes of the Zionists against the imprisoned Palestinian children such as depriving them of food and health facilities.

The latest reports indicate that Zionist troops abduct Palestinian children and inhumanly interrogate them under severe torture. In autumn, they abducted dozens of Palestinian children in Bethlehem taking them to an unknown place.

9-year old Jamal Al-Zavahereh one day stepped out of his home to play with other children, but he was almost frightened to death. At midnight he was abducted and taken to a military check-point in northern Bethlehem. He was forced to tell his Israeli interrogators about his address, telephone number and other family information.

Jamal’s 17-year-old brother is currently imprisoned on charges of launching an anti-Israeli operation.

Palestinian sources say that 300 Palestinian women have been jailed by the Zionist regime since the start of the Intifadha. Palestinian women are the frequent target of their guards’ immoral and indecent assaults. The Zionists usually resort to most shameful methods to extract information from their female captives.

So far 175 Palestinian captives have been martyred by the Zionists as a result of severe torture, 70 of them have been intentionally killed while in prison.

According to Palestinian sources 950 Palestinian captives are currently struggling with death due to the prison officials’ negligence and lack of medical facilities.

Depriving captives of medical facilities is in violation of the 4th Geneva Convention which emphasizes the medical treatment of captives in case of necessity.

250 Palestinians have been shot and injured by Zionist forces before arrest and 25 of them have been paralyzed as a result. 15 Palestinian captives suffer cancer in the Zionist regime’s prisons while 900 others are struggling with a variety of cute diseases.

It seems that now it’s the time to ask the West to take a look at a regime it is so staunchly supporting and give a second thought to its definition of such terms as terrorism, human rights and legitimate defense. 


Decline in Jewish Influence

Across the world the Jewish lobby in America is accorded extraordinary power, almost to the mythic levels of astute effectiveness once attributed to the British Secret Service. And in truth, MI6, as the Secret Service was also known, never approached the Jewish lobby in overall clout. But these days, if you read analyses by American Jews of where their power is headed, the tone is often grim and the forecast bleak. They say, in the words of the American anti-Arab Fanatic Daniel Pipes, "the golden age of the Jews" in America has passed its zenith.

This may seem strange when there is universal recognition that George Bush may well be the most pro-Israel president in America’s history, when the role of the so-called "Neo-Cons", usually short-hand for the more fanatical supporters of Israel in American public life, is identified as crucial in pushing for the war on Iraq, when pro Israel votes in the US Congress sweep through by margins of over 90 percent.

But listen to a man like Illinois-based political analyst Richard Baehr, writing in American Thinker. Baehr could fairly be described as a Zionist ultra. He can also read numbers objectively. Recently, he outlined in a speech and then in his publication the reasons he sees for concern.

The indices of dismay for Baehr show most clearly in population statistics. From 1990 to 2000, he points out; the Hispanic population grew by 13 million. Just over 50%. The black population grew by 4 million, or 11%. The Asian
population grew by 4 million, or over 60%. The population of non-Hispanic whites grew by 6 million or 3%. Non-Hispanic whites accounted for 22% of the country's population growth during the ten-year period, Hispanics for half of it. Non-Hispanic whites are now 70% of the population, headed for 50% by 2050.

Meanwhile, from a peak of 6 million American Jews, or 4% of the US population in 1950, Jews are now just about 5.2 million in number, according to the latest Jewish population surveys, or a bit less than 2% of the US population, and the trend points down to maybe three million in the next but one generation.

Baehr laments that "With an intermarriage rate around 50%, and a fertility rate of 1.6 children per Jewish woman, Jews are committing population suicide." He takes a swipe at liberal American Jews, most of them supporters of legal abortion: "American Jews marry late and often never marry, and have fewer children as a result. The commitment to abortion rights as a pre-eminent political issue strikes me a particularly odd, with Jewish numbers declining at an accelerating rate. Rather than being aggressive advocates of abortion rights, Jews might more rationally be advocates of carrying unwanted pregnancies to term, and then giving up the babies for adoption. This is especially the case since many Jewish women marry late and have difficulty conceiving."

Turning to political influence in the form of financial contributions, Baehr notes that in the 2004 campaign, four Jews - George Soros, Peter Lewis, Steven Bing and Herbert Sandler - gave over $80 million to Democratic political funds. While "this level of political giving by a few individuals has never happened before in the history of the country, Israel is not the leading agenda item for any of them. They were Bush-haters, pure and simple. This is true of much of the political money that comes from Jews in Hollywood. Israel is not the motivator for their contributions."

To anyone used to lamenting the overwhelming tilt toward Israel in intellectual circles and the media it is bizarre to find Baehr writing that he sees a "Distancing of media, academic and intellectual elites from Israel" and to hear him citing Frank Luntz, a Pollster, as saying "there is great danger ahead, because American elite opinion is not sympathetic to Israel, and it is getting worse. Elites view Israel as aggressive and warlike and Palestinians as victims. Academia is the community that is the least sympathetic to Israel, since lefty radicals from the 60s run the faculty at most schools."


Zionist Fears of Disclosure of Reality

At a brief glance one can realize that the system governing the flow of information data in the modern world is unfair and unbalanced. In this system the flow of news, reports and biased films from giant western media horns is flooding the third world countries, to the extent that any move by these countries for gaining media independence is faced with the harsh reaction from western governments. Nevertheless, despite their domineering tendencies these governments still like to call themselves as defenders of freedom of mass media and the free flow of data at the international level.

Recently, on December 18, 2004 the Supreme Council Council of the French Radio-TV cancelled the accord with the Lebanese network al-Manar and ordered Eutelsat to stop the broadcast of this TV network. The French government accused al-Manar of revealing the Zionist crimes against the oppressed people of Palestine by broadcasting the program titled al-Shataat (The Displaced). At that time, the media experts predicted that the blatant process of campaign against the independent and anti-Zionist media will not be limited to al-Manar and will continue.

This proved true. Last week the same Supreme Council of French Radio-TV once again ordered Eutelsat to stop the broadcast of Iran’s Sahar-1 TV station as of March 10. The Council has accused Sahar-1 of airing what it called the anti-Semitic series “The Blue Eyes of Zahra” and “For You, Palestine”. The series premiered on December 13, and is set in Occupied Palestine, particularly the West Bank. It is broadcast every Monday, was filmed in Persian and dubbed in Arabic.

The story follows a Zionist candidate for Prime Minister, Yitzhak Cohen by name, who is also the military commander of the West Bank. The film shows how the Zionists remove the eyes of a Palestinian girl and replace them with the blind eyes of the Zionist military commander. The opening sequence of the show contains graphic scenes of surgery, and images of a Palestinian girl in a hospital whose eyes have been removed, with bandages covering the sockets. Although, it is a story but it is very close to reality. World people have several times witnessed in news reports that the Zionist soldiers kill the Palestinian people specially the children cruelly and torture them inhumanly. The other pretext of the French Radio-TV Council for stopping the broadcast of Sahar satellite TV station was the airing of the statements of a French historian and thinker named Robert Faurrision regarding the alleged holocaust in Nazi Germany. The Zionists claims that Jews were tortured in gas chambers and furnaces and that Adolf Hitler killed 6 million Jews. This is a distortion of history since the entire Jewish population of Europe 60 years ago was far less than six million. Moreover, as pointed out by the German historian and researcher the few thousand Jews found killed mostly died of an epidemic such as typhus. However, in order to distort historical facts, the Zionists have invented the myth of the holocaust in order to draw sympathies from unsuspecting Europeans in their usurpation of the Muslim land of Palestine.   

The French historian Faurrison in an interview with Sahar TV in early February said that according to his researches, the claimed gas chambers never existed in Nazi Germany. But there were furnaces in which all the dead, whether German or non-German, Jews or the millions of Christians that died during World War 2 were burned in order to prevent the spread of contagious diseases. Faurisson says: “The alleged existence of gas chambers and genocide against Jews is a historical lie and the political and financial winner of this big lie is Israel, while its main victims are the people of Germany and Palestine.”

Of course, Faurisson is not the first thinker to have brought the holocaust under question. Many other European and even American thinkers have questioned the Zionist claim on the basis of undeniable documented evidence. Some years ago French Muslim Philosopher, Roger Garoudi was put on trial at French court because of writing the well-researched book titled “The Founding Myths of Modern Israel”. He has explicitly rejected the Zionist claims on furnaces for burning Jews.

The interesting point in the claim of the Supreme Council of French Radio-TV on stopping the Sahar-1 TV broadcasts is what it calls anti-Semitism, whereas only the crimes and lies of the Zionists have been revealed and no disrespect has been made against the Jews or Judaism as a religion. Moreover, the Israelites are only a small fraction of the great Semite race of whom the overwhelming majority are Arabs and many Muslims in other non-Arab countries. Therefore, it is evident that the Zionists have concealed their crimes under the label of Judaism by accusing others of being anti-Semitic. The ban on broadcasts of al-Manar and Sahar-1 TV networks shows to what extent the Zionists have influenced the European governments particularly France. Regrettably, Paris seems prepared to put aside its claim to freedom of speech and liberties in order to appease the criminal Zionists. Meanwhile, the issue of anti-Semitism in western countries is raised in the circumstances that those governments show the worst disrespect for Muslims. Actually, the western governments are the defenders of the Zionists and the enemies of Muslims. For years the big western media horns are propagating against Muslims and their sanctities. This trend has particularly escalated after the suspicious September 11, 2001 incidents in New York and Washington.

So far many films have been produced in which Islam has been directly or indirectly insulted and Muslims have been humiliated in different ways. Many books have been published which seek to sow the seeds of hatred against Muslims in Europe and other places. The European governments never react towards such filthy issues. At any rate, the banning of Sahar-1 TV in France once again confirms the hypocrisy of the French and other western governments concerning freedom and exchange of information. The Western media simply wants to maintain its hegemony over the flow of the information at any cost Nevertheless, the rise in the independent media supporting the oppressed nations of the world particularly Palestine has created the hope that finally one day the monopoly of the west over the free flow of information will be broken. In this case the world people will be able to see and hear the realities as they are.


Why Israel Supported Yushchenko?

Ukrainian President, Victor Yushchenko appointed Yevgeny Chervonenko as minister of communications. The 45-year-old Chervonenko who holds dual nationality, also carries citizenship of the illegal Zionist entity called Israel and deputy head of Ukraine’s Jewish Congress. As minister of communications, he will be authorized to have complete control over Ukraine’s mass media. The minister of communications will also be authorized to issue work permits for radio and television frequencies and supervise Internet and satellite communications. After privatization, Chervonenko controlled various affairs including big bottle-filling machines, chain supermarkets and pharmaceutical firms, raking in huge sums of money. In 2004, in an interview with the “Jewish Telegraphic Agency”, he complained of what he called anti-Jewish stream among opposition groups.  He was also head of security forces during Yushcehnko’s candidacy. In response to a question on the possibility of Yushchenko’s alleged poisoning during last year’s heated presidential campaign, he told the Associated Press that until the last moments he had personally tasted all food meant for Yushchenko and believed that the anti-Jewish opposition in a private meeting with Yushchenko which he was not allowed to attend, had poisoned him.

Another Jew who has infiltrated in the Ukrainian cabinet is Pyotr Proshenko, who was appointed as minister of national security defense. Although, he lacks any experience in the related field he has become a high-ranking official in the country’s mass media. Following his appointment Ukraine’s communist party in a letter of protest, wrote: “Under conditions When defending national security and controlling sensitive issues have been handed over to Proshenko, whose work record has been nothing but violation of law and fraud in state balance sheets, Ukrainians can no longer trust pre-election vows of arresting and punishing war criminals.”

In fact Proshenko virtually rules Channel five of the Ukraine State TV, which during the so-called ‘orange revolution’ changed its news coverage in favor of the opposition.

Meanwhile 44-year-old Jewish Billionaire Lady, Ms. Julia Tymoshenko has been appointed as prime minister despite the fact that there is an international arrest warrant for her since charges leveled against her in Russia for corruption and savagery. In 1996-97 Tymoshenko gained billions of dollars through resale of gas under the support of her Former Master, Pavel Lazarenko, who is currently imprisoned in California on charges of war crimes, savagery and transferring stolen assets from Ukraine to Switzerland as well as involvement in chain murders. His attorney was the famous TV Commentator, Daniel Horowitz. During his trial in San Francisco, Horowitz referred to secret writings of former Ukrainian President, Leonid Kuchma and presented them to the jury in a bid to portray Lazaranko as a victim of the anti-Jewish political revenge. However, he failed. The native language of the new Ukrainian prime minister is Russian. Tymoshenko started learning Ukrainian only since 1999. She has never allowed her biography be published and according to the Jewish Telegraphic

Agency, even her real name is a closely guarded secret. All that is known about this secretive Zionist lady in the Ukraine administration is her Jewish origins.


Signs of Decline of the Zionist Entity 

In the year 1948 the Muslim land of Palestine saw an illegitimate on its soil. It was in fact the implanting of a pseudo by force by the waves of Zionist migrants that had been arriving on this Islamic soil since the end of World War 1 for this sinister purpose. An artificial entity named Israel was set up in Palestine through force, aggression, oppression, occupation, usurpation, tricks and bloodshed. The Zionists attempted to drive out the sons of the soil, that is the Palestinians. These settlers from Europe massacred Palestinians without any inhibitions when faced with resistance. Over the past half a century, the Zionist regime with full US support has occupied more Muslim lands through added through wars and bloodshed. But all this use of force and bloodcurdling atrocities has failed to firm up the foundation of the illegitimate Zionist entity. It has failed to dampen the resistance of the Palestinians, and now the signs are evident that Israel, despite the propaganda of the West, will soon be obliterated from Palestinian soil. Today the number of the experts who believe that the Zionist entity is on the decline is increasing. Even Jews believe that the days of Israel are numbered.

Jewish Writer, Barry Shmis in his book titled “Collapse of Israel” has predicted that with the continuation of the current trend the Zionist entity will soon be toppled. He points out that Israel is headed towards disintegration due to local crises coupled with its irrationality. The signs are on the horizon, says the writer and says an implosion of internal factors will soon wipe out Israel. The Zionist population is declining with more Jews leaving Israel than those coming in. Racial discrimination is evident with the West European Jews considering themselves superior to other Jews that make up Israel. The Russian and other east European Jews that streamed to the Zionist entity following the disintegration of the Soviet Union and socialist states, are finding it hard to survive. They had been promised a bright future, welfare and comfort, but have found themselves treated as second-class citizens. The fate of Asian and African Jews is even worse. They are considered third class Israeli citizens and most want to leave Occupied Palestine and go to Western Europe or the US in search of better pastures. Many of the Russian Jewish immigrants have returned to Russia and other East European states. 

Undoubtedly, the Zionist regime’s economic situation has worsened by the heroic Intifadha of the Palestinian people. Since 2000 the Zionist regime has allocated a colossal budget to try to suppress the popular uprising but without success. This has led to unemployment and growing inflation. The foreign debt has increased to 66 billion dollars forcing the closure of several Zionist institutes. Even the annual US gratis aid to the Zionist entity has failed to decrease the economic crisis. The other tangible impact of the Intifadah is on Israel’s security.

The fear from retaliatory operations by the Palestinians is driving away many Jews to other lands. The number of Jews that flee is estimate at 15000. The Zionist regime’s census center has announced that in the 10-year period from 1992 to 2002, more than 270,000 Jews fled the so-called Promised Land.

According to the daily Haaretz, during the first three years of the Intifiadha one fourth of the Jews who emigrated from the US and Canada to Occupied Palestine since 1989 have returned home. Most of these have high academic qualifications that would affect the scientific level of the Zionist entity. Observers note that these figures are not correct since the actual number of those leaving is much higher. As Barry Shmis writes in his book “The Decline of Israel” the number of the Jews who have actually returned from Occupied Palestine to their original homelands in Europe and the Americas is over 400,000. He also discloses that one third of the Jewish population of Russia have given up their plans to immigrate to Israel. The figures released by the International Jewish Agency are more alarming. It says 68 percent of the Jewish population of Israel is seeking the nationality of other countries and most of them believe that the Zionist state cannot guarantee their and their children’s future. That’s why Zionist Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon is desperately trying to lure non-Jews who can be exploited to support Israel’s unholy cause to come and settle in Occupied Palestine.

Meanwhile, political and cultural experts consider the promotion of moral corruption as well as crimes particularly among youths among the other factors speeding up the decline and fall of the illegitimate Zionist entity called Israel. Jewish Researcher, Kirby Anderson writes in his recent article, that in most cases, the decline sets in from the inside and the first and foremost signs of this impeding collapse is corruption and breakdown of moral and spiritual values. He says, this is happening on a gigantic scale in Israel. According to available statistics, in the year 2003, every 10 hours a woman or girl was raped and every 6 hours an armed robbery took place in Israel, which has a very small population. These were official figures while the actual figures are said to be mush higher. Moreover, most rapes and related crimes are not reported because of the stigma that such acts carry in society. Moral corruption in addition to shaking the foundation of the Jewish family unit has turned youths away from Judaism. This is while, the regime brutally massacres Palestinians every often and uses the most inhuman methods of torture against them. This has eroded whatever grain of humanitarian values the Zionist soldiers had and transformed them into beasts, who repeat such methods on their own families. The rate of suicide among Zionist soldiers has also increased. A former speaker of the Israeli Knesset, Abraham Burk, in a recent interview with the British daily Guardian said: "Zionism has been exposed to collapse and our generation might be the last Zionist generation to live in Palestine."

How true, especially in view of the prophesies in Islamic texts about the impeding doom of the Israelites! An illegitimate entity created by usurpation and bloodshed and thriving on corruption, oppression, violence and massacres to survive, cannot last long.


Shocking UN Report on the Zionist Entity’s Crimes

According to the latest UN report on the Zionist regime’s crimes in the Palestine, the killing still continues and the human tragedy is worsening. It says over 7000 Palestinians, including several hundred women and children are languishing in Zionist jails for years under bad conditions without any fault except the defense of their occupied homeland. According to the report, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians are deprived of jobs and study while their farmlands have been confiscated and homes destroyed by the Zionist regime. Elsewhere, in the report released by the UN special probe, it has been said that the government of the Zionist prime minister is confiscating the homes of Palestinians and making them homeless by constructing new Jewish settlements. The construction of Jewish settlements continues parallel to the building of the controversial apartheid wall denounced by the World Court at the Hague. The UN report says work still continues on the wall, and so far 164 kilometers of the 728 km wall has been constructed over 2800 hectares of confiscated Palestinian lands.

But apart from the Zionist regime’s expansionist policies that have made homeless a large number of Palestinians, the report has referred to the summary executions of Palestinians and ethnic cleansing in parts of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.

UN researches say the summary executions and assassinations still continue in a way that not only Palestinian leaders but also children going to school are targeted by Israeli snipers in a very sadistic manner. The UN report quoted Palestinian witnesses as saying that ethnic cleansing has increased in several areas. Closure of roads and spot checks at over 600 checkpoints set up in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip to prevent the movement of Palestinians indicate the humiliating behavior of the Zionist regime towards the sons of the soil. Travel from the West Bank to Gaza is particular prohibited and only those who possess diplomatic passports or have permission from the Zionist regime are allowed to do so. Poverty has increased as a result while deprivation coupled with physical and psychological torture is widely practices by the Israelis especially at the horrendous Zionists jails. Although, the UN report reveals part of the Zionist regime’s crimes against the nation of Palestine, the mere release of such reports cannot heal the pains of the nation of Palestine.

Presently, despite the claims of support by the European Union for human rights, the most basic birthrights of the Palestinians are being trampled upon by the American supported usurper state of Israel. The White House by driving its western rivals out of the region has given the illegal Zionist entity a free hand in committing the most bloodcurdling crimes against humanity in occupied Palestine. Unfortunately, the UN due to the US influence over it, has turned into a passive spectator of Israeli crimes and every often it enters the scene for the so-called support of the oppressed nation of Palestine, its resolution at the Security Council, are vetoed by the US. Only tame and toothless resolutions lacking executive guarantees are issued at the General Assembly along with the release of shocking reports that shock no one in the White House or in Tel Aviv. Under the circumstances although the UN reports reveal the Zionist regime’s crimes to the world, the question arises, could the mere disclosure of such reports is enough to prevent the genocide of the Palestinian nation, as long as there is no executive guarantee to the UN resolutions?


Zionist Influence in the US

The Zionists have a pervasive influence in the US. This is something, which both US officials and Zionist leaders have agreed upon and put emphasis on its continuation. In order to maintain and enhance their power in the US, Zionists use different ways including control of the mass media and economy. Moreover, due to its high importance, the US presidential election has also become a focal point for Zionist political lobbying in the United States. In view of the fact the US president seems to hold the maximum power, the Zionists have done their best to impose their councilors upon him, in order to make the White House, world’s biggest military decision-making center, a tool in their hands. A glaring example of this is the current incumbent George Bush who is under the complete influence of the Zionists. This happened in his first term in office with many of his aides and councilors either Zionists or linked to the Jewish Zionist Lobby in the US. Getting control over mass media is considered to be one of the ways for wielding big influence not only over the US presidential election, but over all aspects of American life. The recent presidential elections showed the increasing reliance of presidential candidates on media propaganda. In view of the Zionist influence over the mass media, one can understand more about their impacts in the presidential election.

In addition, the Zionists also have big influence over the US economy particularly in the financial and banking sectors. In the meantime, victory in the US presidential election is largely based on the amount of money that every candidate spends in the race. As American Political Analyst, Noam Chomsky believes the result of the US presidential election could be predicted by the amount of money spent for a candidate. Thus, one cannot deny the role of rich American Jews in the US presidential election due to their big influence over the US economy. These Jewish communities have expanded their influence over other elections in the US such as those for the Congress, the states and the Senate. The Jews in the US are the only group who try to support the interests of the Zionist regime. For example, the well-established and influential American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), which has vast financial facilities at its disposal, plays a major part in this respect. This committee holds numerous meetings with top US economic and political figures and suggests plans in support of the Zionist regime. The AIPAC is actually the representative of Tel Aviv to support the candidate who is more inclined towards the interests of the Zionist regime.

Of the other means that increase the Zionist influence in the US, one can refer to the Jewish population in the US. Although, they only include two percent of the US population but due to their organized participations in the election, their influence is more than their numbers. Sometimes eighty percent of the Jewish Americans participate in the election, and because of the importance and role of the US states they live in; their influence is very considerable. With this in mind, the US presidential candidates try to win the American Zionist’s support not only as a rich and influential minority but also as a group that can have big influence in the fate of the candidates. In short, the presidential candidates in every race try to win the support of the Jewish minority in every possible way. This happened in the recent presidential election between George Bush and his Democratic Rival, John Kerry who vied with each other to win the support of the Jewish endorsement. In order to win the Jewish support, John Kerry sent a Jewish emissary to address the Jewish Knesset. In addition to this, the Democratic Party sent more than ten thousands emails to the supporters of the Jewish community to hold some meeting with leaders and organizations of American Jewish community.

The Republicans also through publishing a list of Bush’s services to Jews and introducing him as their close friend, did their best to make the Jews familiar with their interests. On the eve of the election, president Bush signed a new law that under which the US State Department is bound to confront what it calls anti-Semitism across the world. After signing this law, Bush in an extremist and illogical way declared that confronting anti-Semitism is a part of the defense of freedom. Of course, one of the aims of winning the support of Jews for presidential elections is getting the attention of international Zionism and the Zionist regime due to their pernicious influence in the result of the election. John Kerry in his campaign boasted that during twenty years of membership of the US Senate, he never voted even once against the security of the Israel. Kerry endorsed president Bush’s policies for the massacre of Palestinians by Israel and even said that in case of victory he will take punitive measures against all countries that supported the Palestinian resistance. Kerry also endorsed the assassinations of the Palestinians figures, settlements of Jews in the Gaza Strip and building the so-called buffer or racist wall. George Bush also followed the same policies and could win more attention of the American Jews due to the tendency of the Neo-Cons. and Christian Zionists towards the Israel. His support of the Zionists in his first term was so clear and fervent that the Zionist prime prime minister Ariel Sharon called him a man of peace. Sharon went on to say that without any doubt George Bush is the most faithful friend of Israel. Therefore, Bush’s victory in the recent election has been widely welcomed by the Zionist media. It proved that he has been elected for endorsing the atrocities and attacks of the Zionist regime against the Palestinians.


The Zionist Regime and its Unabated Crimes

Wednesday 27 October  2004  

The blessed month of Ramadhan has come and the world Muslims are spending hours and days of this month in prayer and fasting. But in the meanwhile, in some parts of the Islamic world, Ramadhan has been accompanied with the killing of innocent Muslims. Iraq and Palestine have become massive graveyards for hundreds of Muslims being killed daily by the American occupiers and the Zionist regime. Over the past few weeks, Zionists crimes against the oppressed people of Palestine have reached their peak with hundreds being martyred and injured. The Zionist regime has shown that not only it does not give up its policy of terror and suppression of Palestinians but it also uses this policy as the most important tool to stifle the voices clamoring for the rights of the people of Palestine.

On September 29, the Zionist forces launched savage attacks on Gaza Strip. The operations were unprecedented in the 4-year course of the current phase of the Intifadah. During their almost a month of relentless attacks on the Gaza Strip, the Zionist forces martyred almost 200 Palestinians and injured about over seven hundred others. The Zionists used any weapon including tanks, armored personnel carriers and helicopters for targeting Palestinians and destroying their homes. They even applied new military hardware such as unmanned planes and the weapons containing depleted uranium for killing more people. Such savage massacre of the Palestinian people is clearly a policy of genocide. Israel has attempted to empty Palestine of its original inhabitants through different ways and replace them with the Zionists. For this reason, so far in addition to the vast killing of Palestinian people, the Zionists have forced millions of them to leave their homeland. Moreover, the Zionist regime attempts to destroy the economic infrastructure of Palestinian lands so that they would have no choice other than leaving their home.

According to the Palestine self-rule authority’s ministry of commerce since the beginning of Intifadha in September 2000, the Zionist regime has inflicted over 20 billion dollars on Palestinians.

So far many homes, schools, farms and gardens have been devastated in the 1967 occupied lands and people are seriously under economic pressure in a way that according to the World Bank’s figure, 70 percent of people in Gaza live below the poverty line and the unemployment rate has reached 44 percent.

The noteworthy point during the genocide of Palestinians is the killing of innocent children. It seems that the Zionist regime is trying to gradually kill or scare the Palestinian children and teenagers, namely the future hope of this occupied land. Since the Intifadah over 650 Palestinian children have been martyred most of whom on the way to school, or while playing, shopping or even relaxing at home. About 500 Palestinian children are languishing in the Zionist regime’s jail. In the recent unmanly operation 33 Palestinian children were martyred and 150 injured. The scenes of martyrdom of these innocent children are very heart-rending. For instance Iman al-Hommas was a little girl who on October 5 along with two of her classmates was going to school in Rafah in Gaza. Suddenly, the Zionist forces opened fire and extinguished the embers of life of this innocent girl. Iman was killed as her shocked friends watched. But this did not please the Zionist soldier, who came forward and emptied all the bullets of his gun in her little body and laughed with sadistic pleasure. Through such savage tactics the Zionist regime plans to make the Palestinian children understand to choose between blood-curdling death and the humiliating and disgraceful life.

All these crimes of the Zionist regime are committed at a time when none of the international circles claiming human rights have failed to take a serious and practical measure to prevent the savagery of this regime. At the peak of massacre of Palestinians in Gaza and on the same day that Iman was martyred heinously, the US vetoed the UN Security Council’s proposed resolution against the Zionist regime. This Washington’s measure means the full support of killing Palestinians. In fact the Zionists have so far under the US backing committed this crime against the people of Palestine and trampled their rights. In other words, the White House is the partner in crimes of the Tel Aviv leaders in the cruel killing of Palestinians. Meanwhile, the US rulers always consider themselves to be the blind backer of the Zionist regime. During the presidency of George W. Bush Washington’s unconditional support for Tel Aviv reached its peak. Now too on the threshold of US presidential elections, Bush and his Rival John Kerry have started an illogical and disgraceful election campaign for winning the support of the Zionists. These two presidential candidates have appreciated the Zionist prime minister Ariel Sharon whose hands are tainted with the blood of many innocent people of Palestine and have vowed to voice further support for Tel Aviv policies. The Zionist influence in the US ruling administration comes under the circumstances that the Jews comprise only two percent of the American population.

The procrastination of the Arab and Islamic world in support for Palestinians is unjustifiable. Although, these countries issue some statements and hold certain sessions, but as in the past they take no practical measure against the Zionist regime and in support for the people of Palestine. Actually, one of the causes behind Israel’s impudent massacre of Palestinians is their confidence that most Arab and Islamic governments cannot take an effective step against Tel Aviv due to US influence. For this reason, in the course of their heroic Intifadah, Palestinians have never relied on any country. Moreover, the people of Palestine have learned that the anti-oppression and rightful teachings of Islam are the best and the most perfect pattern for resistance and campaign against a criminal power such as the Zionist regime.

While the killing of Palestinians still continues the people of Palestine are determined to resist against the fully armed Zionist forces until the last drop of their blood. They are resolved not to surrender to the savage power of the enemy and the political and economic pressures of its backers. A point to note is that during the past month of the Israeli army’s assault on Gaza, some 30 Zionist forces have been killed and over 25 tanks, 20 armored vehicles and 33 bulldozers destroyed. Such resistance by the Palestinians caused the Zionist forces to retreat even though temporarily from Gaza Strip. Nevertheless the resistance of the people of Palestine does not exempt the Arab and Islamic states from any responsibility. The defense of the oppressed people is among the most important injunctions of Islam and in the blessed month of Ramadhan, practical support for the oppressed Palestinians by Muslim states is an important Islamic duty.


Part 15

Influence of the Zionist Lobby in the US Structures

Monday 9 August  2004  

Official documents released by the US Administration indicate that over the past 56 years, the Zionist regime has received hundreds of billion of dollars in governmental and non- governmental aid from America. But as we said these are mere de-classified official documents and no one except the Zionist Lobby and the White House so far knows, the actual amount of American money flowing into the illegal entity called Israel.

The Zionist regime with a population of around 6 million is the main receiver of foreign aid from the US congress. The economic and military aid it has received for the 52 years from 1948 to 2000, is more than the total foreign aid Washington has given to all African, Latin American and Caribbean countries put together, with a combined population running into several hundred million people. A third of the US foreign aid budget flows into the coffers of Israel, which has the highest figures related to annual per capita income.

US military and financial aid during the first 19 years of the illegal existence of Israel was a hundred million dollars per year. After the June 1967 war and the occupation of more Palestinian territories by the Zionist entity, Washington increased its aid. From 1971 American aid to Israel was one billion dollars annually. From 1976 it rose to 2.5 billon dollars, and presently it stands at 3 billion dollars per year. Official figures indicate that the US has so far spent 134 billion dollars of the American taxpayers’ money for the survival of the terrorist and racist state of Israel. In other words, the US annually gives 23,000 dollars to every Israeli citizen. The actual expenditure is far higher and has not been disclosed because of possible fears of backlash from the American public. These figures do not include the donations collected in the US by the way of so-called charity funds that also run into billions of dollars. In 1987 the US congress passed a law according to which out of public taxes, 1.2 billion dollars were to be given to Israel as economic aid and 1.8 billion dollars as military aid. In addition, the US provides the Zionist regime with state-of-the-art military technology such as F-16 fighter planes, and has even assisted it in making nuclear warheads. Half of the military equipment in Israel is supplied by the US, and these include missiles, helicopters and radar systems.

The US government by passing a bill exempting casinos from paying taxes has taken another step for funding the Zionist regime’s budget, since most of the gambling dens in the US are controlled by Zionists. But despite all this aid, the Zionist regime is still facing 11 percent inflation and an employment rate of 13 percent. The military suppression of the Palestinians and the resulting economic recession has made Israeli economy totally dependent on American capital. According to estimates, in the current fiscal year the US economy would face a budget deficit of up to 537 billion dollars, because of having to shoulder the burden of the illegal state of Israel. In the 1990s American officials tried work out a peace pact, although one-sided, between the Arabs and the Zionist regime, in order to help Israel stand on its feet, and also to lessen the expenditure to this regime. However, due to the Zionist regime’s racist and expansionist policies, not only the so-called peace plan of the White House officials did not materialize but now the Zionist regime’s economy due to the crisis created by Ariel Sharon has become totally dependent on US financial aid more than at any other time.


Israel’s Nuclear Arsenal, a Threat to the World

The Zionist Regime’s nuclear capability still after five decades is among mysteries and the regime refrains from its complete disclosure. It has been for long years that the world asks itself: How many nuclear warheads does the Zionist regime have and why this regime has not joined the nuclear non-proliferation treaty yet and not yield to inspection of nuclear arsenal?

Perhaps the response to some of these questions was officially given to the public opinion for the first time by the Zionist officials in the first visit made by the Director of the International Atomic Energy Agency, IAEA Mohammad el-Baradei to the occupied Palestine. In early July this year,

El-Baradei paid a visit to the occupied Palestine and concurrently for the first time the Zionist regime provided daily New York Times with a slight part of its nuclear mysteries along with some photos of Dimona nuclear center so that after five decades the world gain access to part of its questions.

Although, years prior to this namely in the 1980s the nuclear technician Mordokhay Vanunu had disclosed the atomic mysteries of this regime and before that the founder and the first Zionist Prime Minister, David Ben Gurion had well illustrated the Israeli policy-making in possessing nuclear weapons.

Ben Gurion said in 1950 that: “Israel is an island lies in  the Arab Sea  and in order to prevent the advancement of this sea and the drowning of the island it should use a deterring force which is noting except atomic bomb.”

It was on this basis that in the 1950s Ben Gurion raised  a theory under the name of “The Deterring Strategy” according to which the Zionist regime was driven from the beginning towards the set up of a nuclear arsenal in the Middle East. The first Zionist nuclear power plant was constructed in Dimona mountainside located in Negev desert in 1956 with the assistance of France. The fuel of the 26 megawatt nuclear plant was provided from the mines in Argentina and Southern Africa, which was under the domination of France in early 20th century. After France, the US in late 1950s as a substitute to France started its nuclear cooperation with the Zionist regime. The major part of Dimona nuclear center lies underground and its building comprises installations to which no foreign person found way to it. Among the characteristics of Dimona mountainside is the enjoyment of phosphate, iron, chrome, magnesium, gas and oil.

Dimona nuclear plant has 6 floors and 39 independent sections the most important of which is that related to converting uranium-to-uranium bars for sale to European governments to develop nuclear weapons. The most reliable information on Dimona nuclear center was revealed by one of its employees named Vanunu after he escaped from Occupied Palestine to Britain. In an interview with daily Sunday Times on September

10, 1986, Vanunu announced for the first time that Israel possesses atomic bomb. But now after 50 years, Dimona nuclear plant is out of order.

According to the French predictions the life of the nuclear power plant is estimated to be 25 years, whereas it is still in use despite the end of its useful life. Egypt and Jordan have so far warned about leakage of radioactive from its old walls. For, in case of destruction of Dimona nuclear plant the cities of Bayt ol-Moqaddas, Amman, Alexandria and Beirut would be directly exposed to atomic radiations and eventually the Middle East will be involved in an irreparable tragedy.

Actually, the nightmare of atomic radiations of Dimona nuclear plant and the hazard of dumping of nuclear waste and the dangers of the Zionist regime’s nuclear tests has overshadowed the region from long ago. That too at a time when its seems after 5 decades that the Zionist regime by revealing part of its mysteries and release of ambiguous photos of Dimona nuclear arsenal is seeking under the US backing to introduce itself as a nuclear power in the world. The presence of Israel in NPT not as a member but as a powerful owner of nuclear might is certainly an objective which is sought by the Zionist regime, for in that case according to the Zionist officials the rules of the game will be figured out as they desire. Hence while America and Europe do not allow the Middle East regional states to gain access to nuclear technology for peaceful purposes, the Zionist regime by taking advantage of the western countries’ double standard criteria is seeking to strengthen its nuclear power in the region.

For, according to the west, the survival of a false and instable regime named Israel would be possible only through military power and monopoly of nuclear weapons. Even though the hazard of these weapons engross the entire region and even the world.


Part 14

Influence of the Zionist Lobby in the US Structures

Monday 2 August  2004  

Perhaps many of the world people have several times asked themselves that basically what is the difference between the terms of Zionism and Judaism? Do these terms have the same meaning or are opposite to each other? The answers to these questions were provided when Zionism declared its illegal existence at the Swiss city of Basle in 1897 through its Leader Theodore Hertzel, a Laic and irreligious person born in a Jewish family. In the last decade of the 19th century the common interests of British Imperialism and the Jewish capitalism led to the birth of the Zionism. Britain was seeking to breakup the Ottoman Empire in order to reach its colonies in south and southeast Asia. It therefore decided to support Zionism by casting its covetous eyes in the direction of the Muslim land of Palestine as a possible Jewish base. On the other hand, the Jewish capitalists, tired of the frequent bouts of persecution in Christian Europe, grew more and more nationalist incentives.

Thus, the Zionist movement by exploiting the religious sentiments of unsuspecting Jews focused its greed on Palestine with the help of the British government. The Jewish Critic of Zionism Moshe Menohyn, as a fierce opponent of what is described as the historic right of Jews in Palestine, believes that Arabs and other Semitic people have been living in Palestine for 4000 years long before the coming of the Israelites to this land. According to him Palestine was also called Canaan and its ancient people Canaanites. In his book entitled “The Jewish Critics of Zionism”, Menohyn blasts the Zionist movement and says: Until the 19th century no Jewish political nationalism existed and it were the political objectives of 19th century Europe that brought about the idiotic concept of Zionism.

Olmer Berger, an American Jewish Rabbi, is also a strong Jewish critic of Zionism who writes in the book entitled “The Memories of an anti-Zionist Jew” that: In the late 19th century, the Jews of Europe by fancied the idea of nationalism in order to partake of the plunder of the world by European colonialists. For this reason, a number of irreligious Jews got together and named their nationalism as Zionism. They made common cause with the British in order to achieve their sinister objectives that are contrary to Judaism as a religion. Zionism has actually distorted the Jewish religion by creating Israel since there is no concept of a separate state for Jews until the promised Messiah appears.

British historian Arnold Toynbee has emphasizes in his writing that Palestine is an Arab land and the Jews, whether in the past or at present, have aggressively entered this land. He said: Prior to the founding of the Zionist movement by Hertzel, two thousand years had elapsed since the Romans had expelled Jews from this land. And of those of Israeli origin that remained behind had either accepted Christianity or Islam.  

Moshe Freedman, an Orthodox Jewish Rabbi, who is in charge of a synagogue in Veinna says: The Zionists exploited the myth of holocaust in Nazi Germany to portray themselves as oppressed. According to Freedman the Jews in the past had a peaceful life beside Muslims and Christians in Palestine. He goes on to add that devout Jews today have become the victims of Zionism like the Muslims and Christians. He points out that in Jewish holy scriptures God has not asked the Jews to occupy Palestine and massacre its people.

The Zionist movement through its propaganda has been for years trying to induce Jews all over the world that they should flock to Israel. In response the anti-Zionism Jewish rabbis have sought to expose the contradiction between the Jewish religion and the Zionist movement. The Jewish religious group, Neutora Karta of New York considers the illegal birth of Israel and the concept of the so-called Promised Land to be contradictory to the teachings of the Torah.

Neutora Karta leader Rabbi Graham believes that the Zionist movement is contrary to the ideals of the Jewish religion.

He says Israel is the main factor behind the emergence of violence and tension in the Middle East. Rabbi Graham points out that prior to the Zionist influx in Palestine, its people whether Jews, Christians and Muslims lived peacefully with each other. But now with the establishment of Israel, hatred and enmity have replaced affection and sincerity in Palestine.

Religious Jews who oppose Israel say the promises of the Torah are for the spread of justice for the entire world and all people and not merely Israel. That’s why the anti-Zionism Jews believe that Israel is a regime, which has polluted the sacred Star of David.


Part 13

Influence of the Zionist Lobby in the US Structures

Monday 26 July  2004  

The Jews of America and the world have for long years been extending their aid to Israel so that the illegal Zionist entity becomes an unrivaled military and atomic power in the Middle East. Besides the Jews, a new breed of Christians have emerged in the US called Zionist Christians, who have become more outspoken than the Jews in their support for the unholy cause of Israel. These Zionist Christians believe that the reappearance of Prophet Jesus (PBUH) depends on support for Israel. Cyrus Ingerson Scofield, Writer of the Scofield Reference Bible that has a million plus circulation says born-again Christians should be prepared for the battle of the last days, for as soon as the battle breaks out those who have reached salvation will ascend to  heaven and will attain the divine kingdom. His ideas are fast spreading among the evangelists and at present about 100,000 students in the US are preparing to become priests for propagating the viewpoint of the destruction of the world. These extremists believed that the Messiah would reappear in a place named Har Majeddon. In Hebrew Har means mountain and Majeddon means battlefield. In English this term is written and read Armageddon and means the final fight between good and evil. They believe that Har Majeddon lies a few miles from Haifa and Tel Aviv and is 15 miles from the Mediterranean Sea. They claim that all nations will clash at Armageddon in the fight led by the Messiah against the antichrist.

According to their belief the Messiah will establish a divine government at a site near Bayt ol-Moqaddas and for 1000 years will peacefully rule the world. Here the Jews and the Zionist Christians differ. The Zionist Christians say that with the coming of Prophet Jesus, the Jews have no other alternative, either to accept him and become Christians or risk being destroyed. Hal Lindsey the author of the book “The Late Great Planet Earth” writes that the Messiah will devastate the earth and burn its people. Only the faithful will survive. The gist of their theory is that the Jews are the instruments paving the way for the reappearance of Jesus. It is worth noting that in August 1985 the Zionist Christians held their first congress in the Swiss city of Basle, the same venue where Austrian Jew Theodore Hertzel created the idea of international Zionism in 1897. The Zionist Christians said at their congress 19 years ago that the best way for pushing the world to the war of the last days at Armageddon should be a destructive nuclear conflict. Therefore, those awaiting Jesus (PBUH) should take advantage of US broadcasting corporations like radio stations, TV channels, newspapers and even churches to propagate their weird ideas.

It has lately become a habit for Zionist Christians to address the US National Assembly of Religious Speakers to propagate their weird beliefs and to say openly that a nuclear holocaust is necessary for paving the way for the reappearance of Jesus. Pat Robertson, the Son of US Senator Willis Robertson of Virginia, a graduate of Yale University’s Faculty of Law has employed about 1300 Christians to run the Christian CBN broadcasting network. In their barely concealed statements the Zionist Christians say that the acquiring of nuclear weapons by Israel is not a matter of concern and that there is no need to prevent Arab-Israeli wars. On the contrary they preach that Americans should pray for the outbreak of war in the Middle East so that it flames would engulf the entire world. The Zionist Christian preachers by collecting billions of dollars for Israel help have actually become the accomplices of Tel Aviv in its crimes against humanity. In the 1980s, the Zionist Christians annually extended some 5 billion dollars to Israel. The figure has greatly increased since then. At the official level, the US congress provides Israel’s military expenditures under influence of AIPAC Jewish lobby.

Zionist Christians and their dangerous ideas of driving the world towards destruction have long penetrated the White House. The late US president, Ronald Reagan, was an adherent of this school of thought. In the 1980s in an interview with the New York Times, he said: "We should be fully armed for a real Armageddon and we might be the generation to witness it, especially since Israel is the only democratic country in the Middle East." As part of this US designs in May 1986 the Zionist regime officially joined Reagan’s Star Wars project, and on this basis designed the anti-missile system in 1988 with 150 million dollars initially paid by the US. The development of the missile cost one billion dollars and its successful test was carried out in 1994. Further improvements on this lethal system are already taking place. The proliferation of nuclear weapons in the Middle East by the Zionist regime is thus a calculated step with the help of the Zionist Christians, although unlike the latter, the Jews do not believe in Jesus. On the contrary, the Jews openly insult Jesus and his mother, the Virgin Mary. But nonetheless the Zionist Christians continue to support the Jews and Israel as part of their misconstrued belief that only a bloody and destructive nuclear war will pave the way for the coming of Prophet Jesus (PBUH).


Part 12

Influence of the Zionist Lobby in the US Structures

Monday 19 July  2004

Political observers believe that the relationship between the Jewish lobby and the US mass media is very intricate, and functions according to a complicated mechanism. The number of Jews working in the US media is too many, compared to their less than 3 percent population in the US. Most of the Jews are writers, chief editor and owners of major publications such as New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post and Wall Street Journal. According to the figures, out of each 23 operators of big media in the US, 11 are Jews. The Jews are actually the power behind the information media network. The powerful Silverman Jewish family runs America’s leading news agency, the Associated Press. Chief editor, Jonathan Woolman, is also a Jew. It is noteworthy that in 47 of the US states, the news reports are received from one single source. Another Jewish family, the New House Brothers, has taken over the ownership of 30 newspapers, 12 TV stations and 87 cable networks.

The audio-visual media in the US is also under Jewish domination. One of the greatest American audio-visual companies is AOL Time-Warner, which was set up in the year 2000 with a capital of 160 billion dollars following the merger of Time-Warner with AOL. Following the merger, Gerald Levin, the Jewish head of Time-Warner, assumed the presidency of the company’s board of directors and placed the Jews working in Time Warner in management posts of the new company. Time-Warner’s income in 1997 was estimated at 13 billion dollars. Whereas the new company, AOL Time-Warner by purchasing new audio-visual networks such as the CNN has raised manifold since then. Presently, Jewish veteran journalist Walter Isaacson presides over the CNN newsroom. In 1998, HBO, as one of the greatest music production companies was set up as an affiliate of Time Warner and is now chaired by the Jewish Edgar Bronfmann. But the second leading company in the US whose income in the late 1990s was estimated at 23 billion dollars is Walt Disney. The present head of Walt Disney Company is an American Jew named Michael Eisner. He oversees many subsidiaries including the Mirax Film Division In August 1995 Eisner bought Capital City Company and ABC Radio TV network. This company has 10 private TV stations in different US states and coordinates with 225 stations. ABC has 26 private stations in different American states and a network of 3400 stations. In addition, Walt Disney’s investment in US publications in the year 2000 brought it an estimated one billion dollars.

It is worth noting that Walt Disney, who founded his famous company 40 years ago, was a conservative, anti-communist Christian. He was strongly opposed to the employment of Jews in his company. Disney’s anti-Jewish attitudes had turned his company into a base for anti-Zionist ideas. But after Walt Disney’s death in 1984 Michael Eisner the son of a rich Jewish family from Manhattan, New York, took over the presidency of this company and began employing Jews in key posts. Thus the Disney company was speedily Judaized. Disney, under its new management that spawns publication of magazines, setting up of recreation centers and investment in US baseball and basketball teams as well as sale of toys and books rakes in a colossal profit. Walt Disney Company, which in the past promoted congenial family atmosphere and social stability through lively stories and cartoons depicting animal lovable characters, has now assumed a different role and is involved in the deliberate misleading of the American society. It now propagates violence, killing, moral corruption, promiscuity and release of depraved music albums in the name of entertainment. Eisner, the current owner of Disney is a notorious and self-confessed homosexual and promotes sodomy in the US under the label of gay relationships. Eisner sits on Hollywood’s Pro-Homosexual Board and his commercial advertisements in homosexual publications like Ouch Magazine, bonuses given to gay couples, declaration of the National Day of Homosexuals at Walt Disney’s World, have shocked many Americans. Over the past 15 years, Eisner has felt no inhibitions in insulting Christian sanctities and carrying out a fierce anti-Arab propaganda through Walt Disney. The influence of Jews in the American political, economic and social structures has penetrated most US art and cultural institutes as well. American Actor, Marlon Brando, who died recently, once said publicly that the Jews have put roots in Hollywood and taken control of it. Brando was hounded by the Zionist Lobby for his frank statement and was forced to apologize.


Hollywood, A Safe Haven For Zionism (2)

Yesterday we traced the arrival of Europe’s persecuted Jews in the new world and how after the birth of Zionism, the wealthy Zionist migrants took control of American and by setting up the Hollywood film industry in Los Angeles, California, manipulated public opinion in the US through glamour, sex, violence, science fantasies, biblical themes etc. At the same time, the cinema became a tool for promoting Zionist thoughts and portraying the Arabs and Muslims as retarded people inclined towards terrorism. So articulate was the portrayal that a even the innocent minds of children were molded according to Zionist designs and a whole generation of Americans grew up thinking that the illegal entity called Israeli is a legitimate state. The name of Walt Disney is familiar all over the world and most children and even adults well know his animation characters. But few know that Walt Disney Company has been taken over by the Zionist lobby and its famous animation characters are being distorted from their original role as pure entertainment to the symbols of Jews constantly threatened by stronger and brutal rivals whom they eventually overcome through his smartness.

Such works have a great effect in presenting an unreal model to children and teenagers. An example is the Tom and Jerry animation, where Jerry, the clever mouse, outwits Tom, the stupid cat. Through these cartoons, the Zionists comparing themselves to a mouse terrorized by a cat seek to attract public sympathy in their favor. Another example is “Jumbo, the Flying Elephant” in which unlike other elephants wearing hawk bell cap, Jumbo’s mother uses a Jewish skullcap and lives in captivity on the charge of defending its child. Jumbo forced to act in a circus hoists a flag like that of the Zionist regime.

Although, the Ugly Duckling animation is based on an old story, specific image manifestations have been used in it. The ugly character of the film turns into a pretty swan and at the end of the film it flies towards the sun. This is meant to symbolize that the Jews, persecuted and made to wander, finally achieve prosperity only when they go to the Promised Land. The phrase “flying towards the sun” among the Jews is considered a reference for return to the so-called Promised Land.

The Zionist viewpoint dominating Walt Disney films has resulted in the production of animations and films on the life of divine Prophets, like the Ark of Noah, the Life of Moses and the Life of Joseph. The producers claim to have adapted these accounts from the Jewish Torah, but a closer look reveals that the stories have been twisted and distorted to suit Zionist interests even if it means attributing negative points to divine prophets, who were free of all faults.

Even the films supposedly made for children by Hollywood have not remained unsullied from the contamination of Zionist thoughts. For instance the story of a child deprived of his inheritance or separated from the warm bosom of his or her mother, is meant to somehow remind of a so-called oppressed Jew who has been kept away from his motherland. Such films selectively quote from the scriptures with clear references to the land Palestine, which the Jews consider it wrongfully to be of their promised land. Among other Hollywood productions made on the basis of Zionist ideas is the series titled “Alone at Home”, which depicts the life of a lonely child exposed to the enemies’ attack. But the child smartly overcomes the enemies and punishes them severely. A simple glance at the theme of these films, is enough to convince that they implicitly refer to Israel’s wars against the Arabs. In this series, the child is introduced as a symbol of a superior race and his enemies as idiot persons blocking his way to his safe home. Another glaring example of such Zionist scheming to brainwash viewers through Hollywood films is the animation “The King’s Lion”. In this cartoon, the lion is the symbol of Jewish hegemony over the world and according to the distorted version of the Torah: The heir of Jacob among nations will be like a lion in the forest, a ferocious lion among sheep that tears apart others and no one can hinder it. The Israelites will also stand against their enemies and annihilate them.

Thus, it is clear, cinema has become a media to propagate Zionist ideas with Hollywood serving as the vehicle to reach the world. A western Christian thinker says: Zionism has brainwashed world bodies by controlling and manipulating international news agencies. They fill up the minds of our youths and children with immoral films and whatever they want. By screening a two-hour film, the Zionists disturb the traditions and culture that teachers, schools, and families have taught for months on end.


Hollywood, A Safe Haven For Zionism (1)

The Zionist movement that was founded in the late 19th century by Austrian Jew Theodore Hertzel has now spread like a spider web in countries like the US, dominating almost all American cultural, social, political and economic organs. When the New World was discovered, European colonialists, attracted by the abundant and virgin wealth of America, began migrating in large numbers to the new continent. Among them were some Jewish capitalists spurred by their covetousness for more wealth as well as the desire to breath free air, away from persecution from Europe. After a while, following the rebellion of the heavily taxed colonists against the British crown and the birth of the US, the crafty Jews started feeling the pulse of politics and economy in the new country. They realized the bonanza ahead although they knew that their numbers were not in proportion to their huge financial power. These wealthy Jews looked back across the Atlantic and encouraged their co-religionists to migrate to the America along with whatever wealth they had secretly accumulated in Europe, where the word Jew was synonymous for a despised miser.

The birth of the Zionist movement in the closing years of the 19th century came as a needed impetus to the Jews in the US. Very soon they spread their economic tentacles around the unsuspecting Christians through a widespread trade network involving alcoholic drinks, antiques, narcotics, gambling dens and money lending with high usury rates that evolved into the banking system. The economic clout made American Jews make a bid for political control of the US, and as per the protocols of the elders of Zionism, they found the press and the cinema as the most vital means of pursuing their ambitions. They thus moved into cinema in a big way with most pioneers of the American film industry being the first batch of European migrants such as Louis Meyer, Samuel Goldwyn, the Warner Brothers, and Irving Berlin. They first invested hugely in the cinema halls and theatres before embarking on film production. Eventually, these articulate Jews challenged the monopoly of film production that belonged to the famous inventor Thomas Alva Edison and his company in New York and the east coast, and founded their own cinema industry in the Hollywood suburb of Los Angeles in California in the west. Soon the rich Zionist migrants from Europe set up huge studious in the in the 1920s and started their rule of the film world at a time when poor European Jews were flooding into British-controlled Palestine to sow the seditious seeds of the illegal entity called Israel. Some of these studios that ruled the American minds unrivalled were Metro-Goldwyn Meyer, Universal, Paramount, Colombia, 20th Century Fox and Warner Brothers. The films with their glamorous scenes of seductive women, biblical themes, science fiction and espionage dramas with a liberal dose of nudity, violence, suspense and even magic, became a handy tool to lull the minds of the Christian majority and establish Zionist hegemony over the US. Jewish producers emerged as absolute rulers with directors and actors served under their command. During the world war years and its aftermath, films featured Nazi bashing and the supposed heroics of the Americans. In this way, Zionism took complete control of the film industry, fast eroding traditional American values and replacing them with the culture of drug addiction, promiscuity, breakdown of law and order and disintegration of the Christian families. Cheap commercialization ultimately proved to be the bane of the US society with Church attendance falling to an all time low while figures released by cinema houses showed that 75 percent of Americans went to the cinema at least once a week.

The Zionists used different cinematic methods to pretend its merger with the mainstream American society to the extent that the wealthy Jewish Film Producer, Louis Meyer calling himself as a true blue Yankee and celebrating his birthday on July 4, the American independence day.

The myth of the holocaust was enacted time and again on the silver screen to dupe the American public into believing this preposterous lie to be a historical reality. At the same time, Zionist propagandists used the same fascist doctrine of Nazism to promote in the American and society the superiority of the Israelites and their right to occupy the lands of the supposedly barbaric Arabs. Today, 57 years since the illegal birth of Israel on Palestinian land, Hollywood follows the same Zionist tendency without Americans ever suspecting how deep cancerous tumour had spread in their traditionally Christian society. So hypnotic was the effect that the Zionists made Americans indifferent towards Israel’s horrific crimes against the poor Palestinian people. When Europeans started to realize the magnitude of the Zionist plot during the 1990s, Hollywood came with such deceptive films as Schindler’s List, which portrays the supposed sufferings of Jews until the emergence of the so-called promised state of Israel and their deliverance. These films were designed to reduce the growing anti-Zionist feelings among the Europeans.

The activity of the Zionists in Hollywood is not limited to production of film alone but they made use of every opportunity to stabilize their situation. For instance during the 6-day June 1967 Israeli war against frontline Arabs states, American Actor, Jack Warner arranged a grand party for fund raising for the Zionist regime with famous such as Frank Sinatra and Burt Lancaster taking part. The party netted over 150,000 dollars for Israel’s cause. This shows how skillfully the Zionists used their financial and political clout in Britain and the US to mislead public opinion regarding their inhuman crimes against the poor Palestinian people. Famous American Actor, Charlton Heston, an enthusiastic supporter of Zionism confirms the reality that Hollywood is under the hegemony of the Zionists. He admits that there is no actor in Hollywood who dares to utter a word against Zionism, for he will be condemned.

Influence of the Zionist Lobby in the US Structures

Monday 5 July  2004

Jewish Rabbi Rashvoon said long ago: “If we have wealth and gold to control as the first means of our domination over the world, the media should be the second one.”

As part of this plot, during the 20th century, Zionism succeeded in concealing its crimes by resorting to propaganda and control of media in order to deceive world public opinion. In the US, the number of morning dailies are 339, while the evening dailies number 1759. Every Sunday 688 newsletters are published with a combined circulation of 52 million copies throughout the US.

In addition, there are 22,000 quarterlies and periodicals in the US. As many as 1700 publishers and distributors run this big show, of which half the magazines, dailies and newsletters are effectively controlled by the Jews. Jozeph Pulitzer is known as one of the most Famous Vanguards of the US press. He was a Jew and was born in Hungary. He arrived in the US in 1865 at the end of the American civil war. In 1878, Pulitzer brought out the “St. Louis Post Dispatch. In 1896 on the threshold of the formation of the Zionist movement, another Jewish migrant by the name of Adolf Ush started publishing the daily New York Time. It was the first step for domination of the US media by the Zionists, a hegemony that still continues. The present owners of the New York Times are the Jewish Pair, Arthur Ush and Julius Adler. From its inception the New York Times promoted Zionist ideals and theories and published articles by Zionist ideologues such as Hayem Weisman who later became the first president of the illegal Zionist entity called Israel. In April 1923, Weisman in his article in New York Times distorted the facts about Palestine.

Another leading US daily, the Washington Post, is also controlled by the Zionists and enjoys a specific status because of its circulation in US governmental offices. The Zionist hegemony over daily Washington Post dates back to 1933.

In that year the Jewish Born, Eugene Meyer bought the newspaper license from John McLain at a very low price, through a fraud. The Jews first resorted to negative propaganda and then pushed the paper to the verge of bankruptcy, before taking over its ownership at dirt-cheap prices by deceiving the simple and unsuspecting American Christians. This tactics was used in almost all publications currently owned by the Jews in the US. Presently, the Zionists have full hegemony over such newsletters such as Daily News, Newsweek, Star Leader, Sun Times and several other American publications. Mention can also be made of USA Today, one of the main newspapers of America owned by Alan Bohard, the US press and media baron, who is the owner of the Gazette Publicity Institute. He controls some 88 newspapers, 23 monthlies, 7 TV channels and 13 radio stations. Zionist hegemony has also penetrated scientific and art publications in the US. The cinema magazine Variety is one of the most important publications in which Jewish control is obvious.

In the 1990s, Variety published a statement signed by 171 Hollywood actors most of whom were Jews, saying they plan to allocate vast sums to support US candidates for the Congress who pledge commitment to the protection of Israel. The statement added that: “The best manner of defense of US interests in the Middle East is that at least 50 members of the US Congress should be those who hold the belief that the survival of Israel is the best guarantee for US interests in the region.”

This is clear indication of the Zionist hegemony of Hollywood. In the same manner Zionist hegemony over US weeklies is also evident. Time and Newsweek are regarded as the best selling magazines not only in the United States but also in many parts of the world. Newsweek was set up in 1933 and four years later the Zionists took direct control of the magazine, when Jewish Born, Malcolm Meyer took over the weekly and also became its Chief Editor.

The Meyer hegemony over the cinema industry, newspapers, magazines and the audio-visual media of America runs very deep. Time magazine with its circulation running into millions is also fully controlled by the Zionists. Time is older than Newsweek and its set up dates back to the initial years of Britain’s mandate over Palestine. Among the specialized US commerce publications Business Week enjoys a specific fame. This weekly enjoys a special credibility in US economic circles.

In Chicago the Zionists control the largest newspaper of the state, the Chicago Sun Times noted for its overtly anti-Islamic posture. One recently article says: "Communism is better than Islam, for, it is basically a western idea, which can be coped with, while Islam is difficult to understand except through violence."

Zionism has also penetrated American economic and scientific publications. Among these is the monthly National Geographic, which is noted for its pictorial coverage and excellent research on various topics. The Zionist influence over this magazine dates back to the initial decades of the 20th century and prior to the illegal birth of Israel. In 1915, in one of its issues it published a world map where the term ‘Israel’ was written for the first time beside the official geographical-political name Palestine.

Another famous publication under Zionist influence is the Readers Digest monthly. This has a worldwide circulation and is published in 16 leading world languages. It is devoted to the cause of Israel and is known for its articulately disguised distortion of Arab and Islamic issues.

During the 6-day 1967 Israeli war that led to the usurpation of the West Bank, Gaza Strip and the Islamic holy city of Bayt ol-Moqaddas by the illegal Zionist entity, American producer Jack Warner arranged a huge fund-raising campaign for Israel and himself contributed 150,000 dollars as cash aid. Among the leading actors who liberally gave tens of thousands of dollars to the war cause of Israel were Frank Sinatra, Burt Lancaster and Herb Albert. This was the result of the domination of Hollywood by the Zionist entity, which gradually purchased American film companies in order to turn them into virtual propaganda tools for Israel. Leading film-producing companies such as 20th Century Fox, Universal and Goldwyn were owned respectively by the Jews, William Fox, Carl Leammle and Samuel Goldwyn. Metro also owned by the Jews Louis and Myer was later merged with Goldwyn to become Metro-Goldwyn-Myer. It is worth noting that Myer was the son of a Jewish rabbi. The Los-Angeles based publication Free Christian News in its first issue of April in 1958 wrote: Cinema industry in the US has become totally Jewish and Jews either have no rivals or have driven them out of the scene. Hollywood is now dominated by the Jews and is now a city where virtue has been replaced by vice. In Hollywood, honesty is considered insignificant, properties are looted and no one can object.

The Free Christian News went on to add that the Jews have destroyed ethics in this part of the world. They have degraded manliness and honesty and destroyed the ideals of the American generation. It appealed for an end to this criminal tendency, pointing out that the greatest show, that is cinema, is sadly in the hands of Jews whose aim is to mislead audiences by distorting facts. The film Cast a Giant Shadow directed by Melville Shavelson in 1966 openly supported the cause of the Zionist terrorists. The Israeli army provided most of the facilities for the shooting and many of its personnel acted in the film. Hollywood actor, Kirk Douglas who played one of the main roles, was praised by the director as “a committed Jew before being an American actor.”

John Wayne, Yul Bryner and Frank Sinatra were the other famous actors who featured in this film. The director, Shavelson, an extremist Zionist, later wrote in 1971 a book titled

“How to Make a Jewish Film.” He explains his experiences in the cinema and speaks of his tricks of the trade to induce others. 

After the 1967 Zionist usurpation of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, Hollywood started portraying the struggles of the Palestinian people as terrorism. The emergence of the liberating movement of Palestine in the 1960s and the start of armed struggles against the Zionist regime made the Zionist cinema portray the Jews as civilized and the Arabs as backward savages. The tendency to portray Palestinians as uncivilized terrorists was stepped up by Holywood in the 1970s. The aim was to introduce Israel as a government that tries to live in peace and security by saving the Jews, while the Arabs are violent and war-mongering, whose only objective is to massacre Jews. In the 1970s, the Jewish cinema barons began to exploit science and technology for materializing their sinister goals. Steven Spielberg, a famous Hollywood director of the late 1970s, 80s and 90s put himself at the disposal of Zionism. He produced the film Duel in which the hero named David is a brave and wise Jew. In the 1980s, Spielberg produced ET the Extra Terrestrial by applying technology in the cinema industry and special effects to promote Zionist ideas. In 1994, Spielberg’s film Schindler’s List won the Oscar awards for the best film and the best director. Schindler’s List is the story of an Austrian Catholic who during the Nazi occupation of Poland rescues Jews from the death. The aim of the film is to magnify the Zionist propaganda on the alleged holocaust. Schindler is at first in the service of the Germans. Then he becomes a staunch friend of the Jews and finally becomes a Zionist who migrates to Occupied Palestine and dies there. Towards the end of the film crowds are shown showering Schindler’s grave with flowers as gratitude for saving the supposedly oppressed Jews. 

In 1982, Jewish director Eli Landau produced a movie titled The Chosen starring Rod Steiger in the role of a Jewish rabbi. The film won several international awards for its services to Zionism It is noteworthy that the Zionist domination over the cinema does not include only the western and historic movies but also comic strips and musicals with such actors as Bob Hope, the Marx brothers, Jack Lemon and Jerry Louis. Other Hollywood actors in the service of Zionism are Paul Newman, Richard Dreyfus, Al Pacino, Roger Moore, Richard Harris, Ryan O’Neil and many others.


Part 9

Influence of the Zionist Lobby in the US Structures

Monday 21 June  2004  

Following the illegal birth of the Zionist entity called Israel on Palestinian soil on May 1948 conspiracies entered a new phase in the world of cinema and how to extract maximum advantage from it in view of its affect on public minds. The Zionist entity’s foreign ministry was entrusted with information archives of Hollywood films. The allocation of a huge budget to the cinema information archives clearly indicates the importance of propaganda for the Zionist movement and for Israel. In 1957 a special office was set up in Tel Aviv for collecting and distributing films produced about Jews over the past decades. The budget for production of Israeli documentary films in the 1950s stood at 1 million dollars, a considerable sum compared to the budget of that office. The Zionist regime launched an all-out propaganda to strengthen its tentacles on the world cinema and use it as a lever to mislead minds in the West as well as in the unsuspecting Third World countries. During this decade films such as 'The Ten Commandments,' directed by Cecil B. DeMille and Ben-Hur produced by William Wyhler hit the silver screen and captivated masses. The Ten Commandments was hailed by the Zionist controlled western media as “the greatest event in motion picture history.” Ben Hur for its part was given award after award and called Biblical epic on the big screen. It tries to absolve Israelites of their plot against Prophet Jesus (AS).

These articulately shot films exploit the factor of religion to depict the Israelites as innocent and oppressed people, writhing at times under the tyranny of the Pharaohs of Egypt, and in other periods under the equally oppressive Romans. Zionism, by using the services of famous Hollywood actors such as Kirk Douglas, Charlton Heston and Elizabeth Taylor furthered its nefarious objectives. A conversion between a western journalist and American actor Charlton Heston on the reasons for such massive investment by Israel on the great cinema stars, disclosed the conspiracy of promoting Jewish concepts through movie dialogue in such a cleverly disguised way that even the great actors are helpless and have to merely act as dictated.

In this way scores of films with Jewish themes were dished out to the unsuspecting Christian masses as well as to Muslim deceived by the factor of religion. Until the late 19th century the Jewish lived in isolation in Europe and were confined to Ghettos for the treachery of the ancient Israelites against Prophet Jesus (PBUH). From Czarist Russia and East Europe, the Jews were forced to migrate to western countries. This isolation was broken up in the in the early 20th century, and Jewish leaders started openly calling for a state of their own with the help of European leaders. The Europeans in order to get rid of the hated Jews from their lands helped them migrate to Palestine and promoted the idea of Israel with an eye to controlling it as a base in the heart of the Muslim world. Britain after taking control of Palestine as a League of Nations mandate territory in 1920, facilitated the migration of European Jews to that part of the world and 1948 through a United Nations resolution declared the illegal birth of Israel. Thus, it was natural for Zionism to apply one of the strongest means of propaganda, that is, cinema to materialize its objectives. Therefore, from the beginning of film-making industry in the US, the Jews entered this field and they even produced films with Jewish casts in Yiddish language of the East European immigrants, but soon found out that English and other European languages were the most excellent medium for promoting their nefarious goals. In Palestine, Hollywood produced its first Zionist film under the name of Desert Sword in 1949. The film ridicules Arabs and Muslims and tries to portray the Jews as persecuted people defending what they mischievously call the promised land.

Influence of the Zionist Lobby in the US Structures

Despite the challenged posed by TV, cinema is still considered one of the most powerful forms of media that presents and even imposes its viewpoints on billions of spectators all over the world. The Jews in view of their historical isolation especially by the European Christian powers, realized from the beginning the potential of the cinema as an effective means of propaganda to shape world public opinion. They quickly schemed to take control of the western cinema industry, especially Hollywood. American Born Jews, Carle Meyer and David Griffith along with Russian Born Jew Sergei Eizensteine, are considered among the pioneers of their race in Hollywood. Film Director Griffith is still known as a genius of the world cinema. In 1982 at the 45th Cannes Festival he was awarded a special prize. Although, the Jews exploited cinema soon after the holding of the First Zionist Congress in Switzerland in 1897, the 20th century saw the tightening of Zionist hegemony over the cinema industry. They bought up the leading film producing companies in America and the world. Today after a passage of half a century it is clear that the Jews have been dominating Hollywood. Many of the producers, directors, filmmakers, scriptwriters and actors are Jewish.

The first film which was produced to mould European feelings in the interests of Jews was the widely reflected, “Dreyfus Story”, produced in 1899, two years after the Zionist movement was officially born. The films directed by the French George Millisi is the story of the supposed discrimination against a French military who is charged with treason for being a Jew. It was followed in 1900 by the movie  “A Goat in Search of Fodder”. The film revolves around a Jewish family beset by hardships on migrating to Palestine. This was the first movie that implicitly laid the false Jewish claim to the Muslim land of Palestine. With the production of these two distorted films, Zionism started propagating its racist strategy in the cinema world with three objectives in mind. The first one was moulding of European feelings and sentiments in the interests of Jews. The second objective was to encourage the migration of European Jews to the Arab-Muslim land of Palestine, and third objective was to forge unity among world Jews for founding a racist entity. 

Dreyfus Story and A Goat in Search of Fodder were followed in 1901 with the film “The Accursed Son” and in 1904 with “Samson and Delilah. From early 1908 the Zionist cinema industry started its Mafia like hegemony over the cinema by manipulating American film-producing companies. Vitograph was the first US film-producing company that the Zionists took over. They used religion to deceive the Christian world and lull its mind to sleep through such films as “Judgement of Solomon” and “Saul and David.” Soon other US companies such as Universal followed the lead of Vitograph to produce films on similar themes, like “Joseph in the land of Egypt’.

A glance at the names of directors and producers of the first decade of the 20th century reveals that most of those involved in the cinema were Jews. They concentrated on biblical topics to dupe Christian minds and in the process instill in them the sympathy and support for the Jews.

The second phase of Zionist hegemony over the Hollywood began in 1917 following the infamous declaration on occupied Palestine issued by British Foreign Secretary, James Balfour, who promised a state for European Jews in the Middle East. In the first decade of Britain’s League of Nations mandate over Palestine, the film “Sons of the Soil” was screened. It depicted the Zionist campaign for occupying Palestine as the so-called ‘Promised Land. It was followed by such provocative films as “My Father’s Home,” which encouraged European Jews to migrate to Palestine and take over the lands of the Arabs. In this film, Palestinians are portrayed as bloodthirsty people who joyfully drink a cup of wine mixed with Jewish blood. Such films provoked anti-Muslim and anti-Arab feelings in the west, although the reality is that Palestinians, like all other Muslims neither drink wine nor blood, both of which are forbidden in Islam and considered impure. “My Father’s Home” ran into the second decade of the 20th century. It showed a Jewish youth struggling for retaking his ancestral home for hostile Palestinians, who were portrayed as occupiers. It depicts Palestinians as people indulging in corrupt and forbidden acts, who on hearing the Azan or Call to Prayer rush to the mosque to worship, then return again to carry out more abominable deeds. Such films managed to win the sympathies of Americans and Europeans for the Zionists. The trend continued against the realities of history, until in 1948, with the tacit approval of the US and Britain, the Zionist migrants from Europe, although they were still a minority, seized Arab homes and lands and after killing and expelling some 400,000 Palestinians, announced the illegitimate birth of Israel in May 1948.

Influence of the Zionist Lobby in the US Structures

Monday 7 June  2004  

In early 1990s, the US-based New Leader Magazine made an interesting analysis of the Zionist influence in US presidential elections, saying: US presidents ranging from Roosevelt to Johnson have had assistants in the White House whose duty was to study the setting up of a Jewish ministry. During the 1960 presidential election, the two Candidates, John Kennedy and Richard Nixon took into consideration the Zionist demands and made such promises that it appeared they were contesting for the presidency of Israel rather than of the US.

Thus, as the magazine said the Zionist influence in the US is deeply linked with electoral organizing and specifically with the US presidency. The Jews are actively involved in American elections and wield considerable influence on US parties and political figures vying for control of sensitive posts. Without a doubt the Zionist lobby plays an effective role for the success of its agents supporting Israel. Zionist organizations channel vast sums toward the US elections in order to achieve their desired results.

The Zionists started their pressure on the US governmental system during the presidency of Harry Truman in 1947. In that year, Truman gave his consent to the plan to form the illegal state of Israel on the Arab-Muslim land of Palestine. In that year, the Jews pressured US congressmen by launching a wide spread propaganda in the US press and by pretending to be the innocent victims of the so-called Nazi massacre of Jews during World War 2. Truman as the US Democratic Party’s candidate garnered the Jewish vote by promising to support the formation of the illegitimate entity called Israel on Palestinian soil. After being elected as president, Truman’s plan to recognize Israel was opposed by his Secretary of State, George Marshal. Truman said in reply that he owed his election as US president to the Jewish vote, and has no choice but to recognize the formation of the illicit entity of Israel. After the formation of the Zionist entity, Zionist funds and the Zionist Lobby penetrated the US administration especially the decision-making. After John Kennedy won the US presidential elections in 1960 with a very narrow margin, he said in his letter to David Ben Gurion the Israeli prime minister: “I was elected by the Jews of New York and I wish to do something for them.”

In the next presidential elections in the US when Democrat Lyndon Johnson won, the Zionists firmed up their foothold in the US administration by influencing the appointment of the US ambassador to the UN, the Head of the Supreme Court and the White House ational security advisor. After Johnson, Nixon continued the trend of attracting the support of Jewish groups who forced him to dismiss his Foreign Secretary, William Rogers and replace him with the notorious American Jew, Harvard university professor of political science Henry Kissinger. The power of the Jews during the time of Richard Nixon was to the extent that after the Watergate scandal the US Jewish society strongly criticized the US congress for censuring Nixon and forcing him to resign because of the scandal. Analysts say the majority of the US Jews are inclined towards the Democrats in the US but it does not mean that they are not with the Republicans. As a matter of fact the Jews in the US play on both sides and determine who for the moment is best suited in the promotion of Israel’s interests. However, at the moment, among the Jewish members in the Congress, the majority are Democrats.

In the United States, presidential election is shaped not by direct vote but by a weird indirect system of voting where the people are not directly responsible. This is done through the Electoral College. Every presidential candidate who could win at least 270 out of the overall 538 votes of the College Electoral is declared the winner. But there is a noteworthy point that plays a key role in the victory and failure of the candidates. These are the 19 of the 50 American states where 71 percent of the American Jews have an active presence. On the whole these 19 states have 202 of the 535 electoral cards and for this reason are called key government states, although the whole Jewish population of the US is hardly three percent. Thus the candidates that are determined presidents have no other choice but to act according to the demands of the Zionist lobby and the interests of Israel. A former American senator has said that other minorities in the US are larger than the Jews and perhaps can mobilize more funds but they are largely inactive compared to the active involvement of the Jews who make no secret of their intentions to have Congress members and presidents tamely towing their line.

Influence of the Zionist Lobby in the US Structures

Monday 24 May  2004  

The most influential Jewish body at the US Congress is the American-Israeli Public Affairs Committee or AIPAC as it is known by its abbreviation. It garners the majority of votes among all pressure groups in the US government. Therefore, AIPAC is of great significance to all US congressmen. During the 1960s, a US congressman wrote in his diary that: “When I was elected as a congressman from Springfield, Illinois in 1967, in one of the meetings with the congressmen I criticized Israel’s June 6 military invasion of Syria. The Michigan Representative, William Brumfield told me with a smile on his face that what you said the AIPAC manager will hear. I realized that this was true.”

AIPAC is even aware of the private conversations of the US congressmen especially about the US policy on the Middle East and if anyone criticizes the Zionist regime, his situation will certainly be endangered. AIPAC is actually considered one of the most powerful pro-Israeli Jewish organizations in America and has 200 Jewish groups as affiliated members. It means that about 2 million Jews support AIPAC through political or charity activities while other Jews express their loyalty by presenting financial aid to AIPAC. The commission has 50,000 members and annually by holding 200 meetings with US congressmen, it approves 100 bills in favor of Israel. The approval of the US Congress free 3 billion-dollar aid to Israel every year and opposition to Iran’s peaceful use of nuclear energy top the AIPAC agenda.

AIPAC’s official newspaper is the Near East Report. It has a circulation of 60,000 copies per day and most of the issues are bought by Jewish organizations. The rest are sent free of charge to newspaper offices and members of the US House of Representatives and the Senate as well as the high-ranking government and political figures in the US. AIPAC explicitly supports the Zionist regime’s policies. Therefore, in many cases, there is a precise and calculated coordination between the positions of the US government and Israel. In 1981 when Israeli planes bombarded Iraq’s atomic power plant, AIPAC immediately supported the Zionist regime’s measure. Its information network acts very strongly. It has a widespread and powerful propaganda network. If a representative votes in favor of Israel, his news will immediately released through the AIPAC-affiliated publications and he will be appreciated. In case he speaks against Israeli and AIPAC ideals, he will be condemned immediately. AIPAC members have easy telephone access to all US lawmakers. It is also worthy to note that AIPAC has secret files on all US lawmakers and keeps under watch their activities.

AIPAC is openly involved in the election campaigns of the US Senate and Congress. AIPAC by taking advantage of 54 pro-Israeli-American associations tries to garner more votes in favor of candidates that are considered close to Israel. It spends colossal sums of money to buy the required votes in favor of their desired candidates. US Jewish political associations known as PAC are engaged in secret activities and they do not reveal the name of their members and even their affiliation to AIPAC. PAC embarks on fund-raising from American citizens especially the Jews inside and outside the US. The Daily Wall Street writes in this regard: “The high-ranking members of the US House of Representatives and Senate all believe that it is the money of the Jewish political associations which greatly affects the scene of the US foreign and local policy. It is noteworthy that whenever the US Congress Commission of Foreign Affairs wishes to make decision about the US aid to Israel, at least one AIPAC member should attend the meeting so that no one can prevent granting of financial and political aid to Israel. AIPAC is also heavily involved in US cultural circles. None of the US cultural personalities are immune from AIPAC threats and pressures. The well-known American Linguist and Political Expert, Noam Chomsky is among the people who are under the watch of pro-Israeli pressure groups. In this regard, Chomsky says: "At the end of every conference and speech which I deliver the details of my statements are reported to Jewish organizations and go into the file they have on me."

AIPAC has announced that one of its main goals is to counter Iran through pressure on the US government and determination of Washington’s Middle East policy in favor of Israel. The day after the September 11, 2002 incident the Zionists tried to reap the maximum benefits. The Zionist regime’ weakness against the Palestinian combatant groups and its failure in imposing its desired peace on Syria, Lebanon and Palestine has caused AIPAC to intensify its propagandist war against Muslims.

Therefore, the AIPAC Lobby by relying on the theory of Samuel Huntington referred to the September 11 incident as a starting point for the war of civilizations and made a wide effort to involve the west and Muslims in a new crusade. Huntington’s assumption of war of civilizations and his warnings that after the end of Cold War, the spread of revolutionary Islam and Islamic fundamentalism are the main threat to the security and interests of the west has caused the Zionists to take advantage of what they see as a golden opportunity to encourage the west to a full-fledged war against Muslim countries and specially the Islamic Republic of Iran. 


The Myth of Anti-Semitism

Friday 21 May  2004

May 14 reminds of a bitter event in the contemporary history of the world and the Middle East in particular. On this day in 1948, following years of terrorizing of Palestinians on their own land by waves of illegal Zionist immigrants from Europe, the illegitimate state of Israel was born. Armed Zionist gangs immediately drove away hundreds of thousands of Palestinians and the regime imposed war on neighboring Arab countries. Today, 56 years after the illegal creation of Israel on Palestinian soil by Britain and the big powers through manipulation at the UN, the Zionists continue to massacre the sons of the soil. But the irony is that despite its blatant oppression of, and its inhuman atrocities against Palestinians, the Zionist regime tries to portray itself as oppressed, and raises the dubious issue of anti-Semitism. It wants to tell the word that it is being discriminated against because of its Semitic origin, and unfortunately, the Christian world has taken the bait. Nothing could be far from the truth. The Zionist claim to being Semite is strongly rejected, since most of the Zionist settlers in Palestine are of East European Khazar stock with no ethnic connection to the ancient Israelite tribes. Of course, there are a small number of Jews who are descended from the Israelite tribes, but if the genealogies are to be studied properly, one would find many Palestinian Muslims and Christians who are of Israelite stock since their forefathers had accepted the messages of Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) and Prophet Mohammad (blessings of Allah be upon him and his progeny).

Thus, the Zionist claim to be Semite and actions against them as anti-Semitic racial tendencies is entirely rejected. As a matter of fact the vast number of present day Semites are the Arabs and some of their neighbours. The Zionist drama to play the role of oppressed is rooted in European history. In Europe, in contrast to the privileges the Jews enjoyed in the Muslim world, they were discriminated against, and this led to the coining of the erroneous notion called anti-Semitism in late 19th century and early 20th century Europe. In early 20th century, Zionism exerted itself and with the help of European powers who mischievously harped on the anti-Semitic theory by allowing Jews to migrate in tens of thousands to the Arab-Islamic land of Palestine on the pretext that the ancient Israelites were based in a part of this land. The Zionists succeeded through tricks and distortion to claim that the Jews were a nation in need of a land. This is how they entered Palestine and spared no evil effort to work towards the creation of the Zionist entity. Adolf Hitler’s alleged massacre of the Jews came as a tailor-made plot and accelerated the rate of European Jewish migration to Palestine. Actually, it was the Nazi dictator, who because of his racist attitude on the claimed superiority of the Germans blew out of proportion the so-called Semitic connection of the European Jews.

After World War II, the Zionists exploited mistreatment of a fraction of European Jews, when in fact he had killed tens of millions of fellow Christians, and attracted sympathies towards them. Researches have refuted the myth of the holocaust and the alleged figure of 6 million Jews sent to the gas chambers by Hitler. In fact, the total number of Jews throughout Europe, Russia included, did not reach 6 million during the Second World War days. Barely three years after the end of World War 2, the Zionists succeeded in usurping a part of Palestine and calling it Israel. Several researchers are of the opinion that Hitler cooperated with the Zionists and their quest for statehood. French Thinker, Roger Garaudi in his book entitled “The Founding Myths of Israel” has rejected the theory of the holocaust on the basis of documented evidence. Hungarian Writer, Louis Marschalko in his book entitled “The War Winners” writes that there were no more than 1 to 1.5 million Jews when Hitler took power in Germany, and he could have killed not more 500,000 to 600,000 Jews, compared to the tens of millions of Christians that he killed.

France’s Professor, Rubert Frisun published a result of his study of Hitler’s so-called gas chambers in the daily Le Monde in 1978. He writes: "For years toiled in futility for any witness to the claimed gassing of Jews but found none. But instead, I found a very large number of documents to the contrary until I had to discontinue my research because of insults and threats against me.

Such an attitude towards the logical rejection of the myth of the holocaust indicates how much the European governments are under the influence of the Zionists and are prepared to sacrifice their own slogans of democracy and human rights on the alter of Israel. Some of these governments have unfortunately taken the Zionist bate and are blindly harping on anti-Semitism despite the growing awareness of their own peoples against the long term Zionist threat to Europe and the world. In an opinion poll conducted by the European commission in October 2003, over 59 percent of the Europeans considered the Zionist regime the greatest threat to the international peace. This angered Israel and the European officials were forced to apologize. Several seminars were held in the past few months on causes of the European people’s opposition to the Zionist regime and Jews. The most important of them was held on April  28 and 29 in the German capital Berlin with the participation of high-ranking Israeli officials. The Zionist regime attempted at the Berlin conference to depict any criticism of the Zionist regime as anti-Semitism that deserves condemnations. Unfortunately the European governments have accepted this notion, when the savage measures of the Zionists have nothing to do with Judaism. Interestingly, a large number of Jews do not accept Israel. It is matter of regret that while European officials consider the exposure of Israel’s crimes as anti-Semitism they act differently against Muslims. The fact is that the growing sentiments of the European public against Israel has nothing to do with anti-Semitism but lies in the Zionist regime’s suppressive policies against the oppressed people of Palestine. This is a natural, since the Zionist killing of Palestinian men; women and children have aroused worldwide hatred of this illegal entity. The Zionist regime, meanwhile, shamelessly uses the ploy of anti-Semitism as a defence to hide its crimes against humanity in the usurped land of Palestine.

Influence of the Zionist Lobby in the US Structures

The US Jewish Congress was set up after World War One in 1918 by Rabbi Stephen S.Wise, Louis De Brandis and Julian Mack. Its purpose was to look into the situation of European Jews. In March 1916, Brandis and Wise organized a meeting of 33 Jewish groups in the US state Philadelphia. In 1918, the US Jewish Congress dispatched representatives to the Peace Conference in Versailles, France, to lobby for the creation of a Jewish state in the Muslim land of Palestine. It gradually expanded to form an umbrella for small local Jewish communities and then set up legal and social commissions, for what it claimed the Defense of Civil Rights of Jews. The US Jewish Congress has a two-tier structure, the organizational and administrative. The organizational structure has 50,000 members from all 50 US states with most representatives hailing from New York. Every six months the commissions of the US Jewish Congress hold their meetings to discuss political and social issues. The chairman is elected for a two-year term. Its main center is in New York and it coordinates the affairs of other branches. The main branches of the US Jewish Congress are based in Chicago, Washington DC, Boston, New Jersey, Florida, Pennsylvania, Houston and Los Angeles. It also has a branch in occupied Beit ol-Moqaddas. Like all the other Jewish bodies that serve the interests of the Zionist regime, the US Jewish Organization enjoys vast facilities. These include buildings, affiliated institutes, Internet sites, printing press and huge sums of money in banks. It brings out a monthly that covers the cultural, social and political issues of the Jews and the Zionist regime of Israeli. It also publishes a quarterly titled ‘Judaism.’

The US Jewish Congress is actively involved in Middle East issues and is outspoken in its support for the illegal Zionist entity called Israel. Its leaders believe that what is of prime importance for Israel is security and this is possible under the guise of peace plans that are in favor of Israel. It has always attempted to link American domestic issues and support for Israel. In 1973, the US Jewish Congress asked its members to buy government bonds floated by Israel during the October war to garner financial aid. Following the November 10, 1975 UN ratification that equalized Zionism with racism, the US Jewish Congress adopted a hostile posture towards the World Body. In 1982-83 it actively supported the Israeli invasion of Lebanon. It pursues a very hostile and war-mongering policy towards the Islamic Republic of Iran. It is quick to endorse any allegation that is raised against Islamic Iran.

An example of this anti-Iranian stance of the US Jewish Congress was the case of the 13 Jewish spies in Iran a few years back. It expressed its deep concern as well as that of the US administration and lobbied with the UN to pressure the Iranian government for releasing the 13 Jewish spies. Political experts believe that the avowed enmity of the US Jewish Congress towards Iran and other Islamic states including Syria, is evident by its defense of the state terrorism of Israel and its branding of Iran and Syria as terrorist states. The US Jewish Congress lobbies intensely for transfer of the US embassy from Tel Aviv to the occupied Muslims city of Beit ol-Moqaddas and its recognition as the capital of Israel. It never spares efforts to magnify what it calls Arab threat to Israel and is a principal factor behind the supply of US financial aid and sophisticated weapons to the Zionist entity. The Late Palestinian Writer, Professor Edward Sa’eed of California university while describing the domination of the Zionist lobby in US structures, wrote that this lobby has confused the foreign policy of the US and has promoted the interests of Israel over that of US national interests. In view of these factors, the US Jewish Congress like other Zionist groups in the US is in effective control of Washington’s economic, political and military policies pertaining to the Middle East. The Jewish lobbies function so skillfully in the US that not the least concern is evident in the American public opinion about their country being virtually controlled by the Zionists.

The American Jewish committee was set up in America in 1906 by German Jewish immigrants in a bid to pressure the Russians to carry out reforms in the Jew’s unfavorable life style, and to confront anti-Semitism. The founders of the American Jewish committee were a group of jurists, businessmen and rabbis. The constitution for the American Jewish committee was drawn up in the United States in a bid to improve the situation of Jews in Europe and counter any threat against the Jews. The first wide scale activity by the American Jewish committee started in 1911 following the staging of demonstrations for canceling the 1832 Russo- American commercial treaty due to Russia’s anti-Semitic policies.

On this basis the committee organized its financial activity to encourage support for the immigration of Jews and in a bid to improve the life conditions of Jews. Following the setting up of the Zionist regime, the American Jewish committee supported the law on the return of Jews to Palestine and organized its activities on the basis of aiding Israel. The American Jewish committee cited that its objective was defence of civil rights and religious freedom of Jews in America and outside. In recent years the committee has concentrated on settling Jewish immigrants in the United States.

The American Jewish committee is comprised of different sections each of which assumes separate duties. The national council, the board of directors, the executive committee, the representative committee and the board of trustees comprise the structure of the American Jewish committee. The national council includes the leaders of the Associations of American Jewish Committee, the high-ranking and prominent political members and all members of the board of directors. The council holds meetings twice a year to look into important political issues and adopt decisions in this relation. The duty of the Jewish committee’s national council is to elect high-ranking employees, the members of board of directors and the members of the committee.

In the board of directors, the members act as organs responsible for decision-making. The board of directors has  90  elected members out of whom 37 are honorary members, 16 others respectively include US national officials, the heads of the Jewish commission and committees, 26 of them are honorary vice-presidents and the rest are nominated for presidency in the committee. The executive committee and the committee of representatives hold the meetings of the board of directors and assume the responsibility of managing the stocks and investment of Jews. The development of income resources for the US election campaigns and granting remarkable gifts to electoral candidates are among the duties of the American Jewish committee’s board of directors.

The American Jewish committee now has over 100 members and advocates all over the world and is considered one of the biggest Jewish organizations in the US. The leadership of the committee is entrusted to influential and powerful individuals who are more important compared to the number of the Jewish committee members.  Former chief of the American Jewish committee Morris Abraham in response to Israeli Prime Minister David Ben Gurion in the 1950s who had asked how many members the committee has said:

“Mr. Prime minister we do not count our members, we weigh them.”
Following world war two, the American Jewish committee changed the manner of its membership and turned to the small Jewish communities, trying to look into their issues of interest. Usually prominent Jews and non- Jews are invited to take part in the meetings of the American Jewish community. In these meetings one can well observe the political activities of the Jewish committee. In the annual meeting of 1976 considered as one of the major meetings of the American Jewish committee in the 1970s, the meeting of the committee’s high-ranking leaders and members with the officials of the White House, state department, housing department as well as representatives of the Israeli embassy was placed on the committee’s agenda. The meeting focused on local issues, the Middle East situation and the Arab’s boycott of Israel. Then US president Gerald Ford, a number of American senators and the Israeli ambassador delivered speeches at the meeting and adopted joint decisions.

It is noteworthy that the committee has introduced itself as the cutting blade of American Jews, claiming that it has had a major share in the US political leaders’ recognition of Israel.

The committee has under its watch the activities of the Congress, the White House and the Senate. The daily bulletins of the Jewish committee are sent for high-ranking Zionist officials with confidential news reports and information that usually comprise the basis of their decision-makings. The 97th annual meeting of the American Jewish committee was held, in 2003. In this meeting US president George W. Bush by stressing that the most important issue in US foreign policy was the provision of security for Israel, announced the US explicit support for Israel against terrorism. He said: “We call for a peace in the Middle East which is desired by all Israelis and we have stood beside our Israeli friends in the world.”

Presently the American Jewish community has an active role in both the US local and foreign policy. In the local dimension mainly social issues and those of the minorities have been taken into consideration, in the foreign dimension the observance of so-called human rights by world countries and the Middle East conflict are taken into account, and in all dimensions, the interests of the Zionists, Israel and even the supporters of Israel are notified by the American Jewish committee.

In many cases, the committee accuses countries of violating human rights, rights of minorities as well as freedom of expression and religion, calling on the US congress to pressure the countries in question.  One of the countries the American Jewish Committee seriously opposes, is the Islamic Republic of Iran. The American Jewish committee’s performance and viewpoints against Iran stem from the opposition of this country to the Zionist regime.

Therefore, the Jewish committee’s lobby in the US congress has so far pursued a number of methods in its agenda against Iran some of which are   as follows:

First: opposing Iran and preventing its access to nuclear power plants.

Second: pressuring countries such as Russia and China to severe their nuclear cooperation with Iran.

Third: the allegation of human rights violation in Iran.

Fourth: accusing Iran of being a sponsor of terrorism.

Fifth: Denouncement of Iran due to its opposition to the membership of Israel in the UN Security Council. 

But the viewpoint of the American Jewish committee regarding Israel is considered the most important part of the committee’s performance. One can dare saying that the committee has always been seeking to increase its support for Israel.

In 1963 the Jewish committee in order to further support Israel as the first Jewish organization set up its permanent office under the name of the Jerusalem office which later changed to the Middle East-Israel office in the Occupied Palestine.

The office plays a significant role in coordinating the committee and winning its support for Israel. The committee’s all-out support for Israel actively started in 1967. In this relation, one of the Jewish committee’s leaders says:

“Relations between the Jewish communities and Israel and the issue of the Middle East are the number one issues of the committee and there is no doubt about it.”

Therefore the Jewish committee’s activity regarding support for Israel is followed in up two methods. The first one is a propagandist method and includes the publication, and distribution of information about the committee’s positions. Second the committee has supported Israel by using its traditional method that is holding secret talks with US political personalities, the chiefs of labor unions and leaders of minorities.

The American Jewish committee is based in New York and has covered a broad network of offices in the country and abroad.

32 local branches, 4 offices in the Middle East and Europe as well as affiliated organizations and associations are the connecting bridge with the American Jewish committee.

Influence of the Zionist Lobby in the US Structures

The immigration of the Jews to America as it has been mentioned in history dates back to 1492. In this year Christopher Columbus along with 300 Jews arrived in the American continent. They were driven from Spain after the termination of the Arab rule. But this was considered the beginning of immigration of Jews to the American continent. 6000 Jews who were known as the eastern Jews migrated to America in the early 19th century. Most of these Jews emigrated from Spain, Northern Africa as well as Arab and Asian countries especially from India.

Following this, the third wave of Jewish immigration to America began through 1815-1884 concurrent with the revolutions and movements in Europe. In these years, only the immigration of German Jews to America has been estimated at 100,000. During the years 1880-1930, the immigration of Jews from Russia and East European countries to America intensified and thus, the number of American Jews raised beyond 200,000. But in the 21st century, the number of Jews has exceeded 6 million which comprises 3 percent of the overall American population.

Among the foreign immigrants who have arrived in the United States, the Jews have been more successful in adapting themselves with disorders of the American community than other groups. The American Jews presently assume the key roles in the US political, economic and social structures. The American Jewish circles have supported the Zionist regime and even secure part of the Zionist regime’s annual budget as one important source of financial and political aid.

The Zionist Lobby too as the lever of pressure on the US government functions very actively in pushing the expansionist policies of the Zionist regime in the Middle East.

In the political lexicon political lobby or political circle is applied to a group that have common interests and objectives and through penetrating in the political system of a third country and its parliament coordinate the political posturing of that country or even change it in their own favor in line with their objectives and demands.

The Lobbies usually pursue different activities to achieve their objectives including discussions with politicians, coverage of reports, speech making and analysis of laws and even sometimes the provision of a draft law and its presentation to the parliament of the country under influence.

After the end of world War II, the Zionist Lobby was turned into a very strong body on the US political scene. The efforts of the European Zionist Leadership Envoy to the US, Louis D. Brandis in 1914 for supporting the American Jews by provoking their feelings through raising “the rescue of Jews from foreign oppression” was conclusive and created the preliminaries to organizing the American Jewish community.

After the end of world War II, a vast network of Jewish organizations was set up that gradually dominated over all US political and economic structures.  In the latest figure released in the US, the number of the American Jewish organizations stands at 348 to with 500 synagogues to be added to it. The synagogues or the worshipping centers of the American Jews are not considered just as worshipping centers but centers for Jewish planning each of which tries to be active in social, cultural and even political fields. There is a common proverb in the American Jewish community which apart from satire can indicate a type of public approach of the Jews towards this organization. It says:

 “Judaism means membership in a Jewish organization”

Martin Best and Irek Rob in the books entitled "The American Jews and a New Glance at the US Social Visage," by presenting a figure of the Jewish influence in US structures say:

“The Jews comprise 26 percent of correspondents, commentators and officials of US politico-social circles. 59 percent of the best lawyers and authors are Jewish."

"13 percent of them are aged below 40 with heavy responsibilities and 40 percent of them attend US Congress. 7 out of 11 members of the US National Security Council are American Jews and thus except the post of presidency; the Jews are involved in all key government posts and jobs.”

About 38 percent of the US government employees are Jews many of whom are working at high-powered jobs in the state department, defense department, treasury and Justice department and have access to the most important US military and government inside information. Presently, about 3 million Jews reside in New York and the rest of them live in the states which are known as the key states. California, Chicago, Boston, New Jersi, Florida, and Ohio are among the US states where the Jews are working in sensitive political and economic centers.

The influence of the Zionist Lobby in the White House is among the issues which has never been concealed.  Harry Truman the US President in the 1950s in his diary regarding the influence of Jews in the White House writes:

 “I have never seen such a powerful pressure and propaganda during the entire period I stayed in the White House.”

Although the American Jewish community members have differences in some cases, yet they all are unanimous in one thing namely support for Israel. The ideology of support for Israel is raised as the major way of thinking among the US Jewish institutes and organizations all of which have placed in priority aid to and support for Israel. All this support dates back to 1897 that is the time when Zionism announced its existence.

Since their early days the Zionist leaders were seeking to set up a center to gain access to a solid power in the world.

Therefore, from the beginning of the 20th century, Zionist associations and unions started working in Europe and the US. During the second Zionist conference in 1913, the movement succeeded in spreading the center of their activities from Europe to America, Asia and Africa.

Among one of the most important centers for Zionists’ activity, one can point to the “Jewish mission” which is now supervising Zionist organizations in 60 countries. These organizations are funded from the revenues of Jewish mission and other Zionist organizations as well as the financial aid of Jewish capitalists and tax.

According to the latest estimates, now one sixth of the total American Jews have joined an official Jewish organization in this country. The Zionist organizations in America are referred to the Jewish organizations which cite their first objective to be implementation of the Jerusalem program. The Jerusalem program considers all Jewish organizations committed to work in line with Zionist objectives. Of course, the role and significance of all Zionist groups in the US have always been changing.

These duties first include financial support and payment of some material expenditures. Whereas, in the course of time the Zionist Lobby through influence in the US political structures serves the interest of this regime in political and economic decisions.

The American author Gold Berg says: “The Jews are skillful in avenging any person or organization that stands against them. If anyone doubts this he can reflect on the stories of former US presidents who have stood against Israel.”

Influence of the Zionist Lobby in the US Structures

Monday 23 February 2004

The Zionist influence and hegemony in US structures and in the White House is an issue, which has been raised several times in world political circles. The Zionist hegemony over the US media, and political, military, social and economic structures is an issue which has always put forth the mutual influence of the US and Zionist regime on one another in the world of politics. Deputy Head of the Convergence Union of American Orthodox Jews, David Luchins says in this regard:

“ Not only are we not a minority but are a majority and whatever we wish happens.”

Revising the 55-year history of the occupation of Palestine and the declaration of the occupying Zionist regime’s existence, we realize that US presidents without exception have met and conferred with Jewish and Israeli leaders. Credible documents indicate that annually one fifth of the overall US foreign aid is allocated to the Zionist regime. In addition, some foreign embassies and consulates have certain diplomats who have been assigned to allocate part of their activities to paving the ground for expanding relations with American Jews in order to preserve the interests of their country. There is a well known statement among foreign diplomats which says:

“If you seek an influential mediator in the United States to solve your problems, you can resort to the influence of the Jewish community.”

But as to who those influential Jews in the US structures are and to what time their presence dates back is a question, whose response has been given in history as follows:

“Early in the 20th century, that is in 1916, Loise De Brandis was assigned by the Zionist leadership cadre in Europe to win the support of American Jews in favor of Zionism.

His initiative in introducing Zionism not as a nationalist movement but as to a humanitarian solution for saving the oppressed Jews raised the number of supporters of Zionism in the US from 12000 to 150,000 people. 

Brandis definition of Zionism is as follows:

“Support for Zionism does not mean the migration of a Jew or receiving a foreign nationality. But in order to have a better America, we should be a good Jew and in order to be a good Jew, we should be a Zionist.”

The competence of this definition in taking members from the American Jewish society provided the preliminaries for shaping and organizing the American Jewish community.

Thus, after centuries, the American Jewish society was set up by the immigrating Jews and with the cooperation of European Zionists. The US was recognized as the preferential site where more harmony of Jews had been observed, compared to other western societies.

It is evident that apart from the interests of colonialist powers, the newly emerged Bourgeoisie of the European Jews in the 20th century was among the supporters and founders of the Zionist movement and establishment of Jews in America and Israel. 

Actually, the Jewish Bourgeoisie in the second half of the 19th century along with European Imperialism played a major role in the creation of a Zionist movement and settlement of the Jews in Palestine. For, the interests of the Jewish Bourgeoisie and Jewish religious leaders were seriously threatened in view of the economic and social situation of the 19th century and emergence of new tendencies among the Jewish communities of Europe.

Concurrently with the emergence of capitalism, the existing restrictions of the Jews were removed and Jewish communities were gradually absorbed in European nations. Therefore, the Jews freed in the west no longer considered themselves to be in exile or apart from European societies.

But they were referred to as British, French and other countries Jews. In the 20th century, this development inflicted a considerable blow on Judaism, which was the reliance of major Jewish bankers and factory owners. Hence, the class differences in Jewish communities and the efforts of the well to do people to withdraw from the control of Jewish religious leaders caused them to take the control of Jewish communities in a bid to deploy and strengthen a concentrated Judaism. The leadership had to focus on the Zionist movement. Zionism as a merely political movement by taking advantage of Jewish religion could serve as the Jewish Bourgeoisie arm.

Undoubtedly, Zionism was created by Jewish capitalists in order to re-establish the lost power of the Jews, prevent the gradual absorption of Jews in European countries and collect the capitals of the western Jews in a concentrated place. It was for this reason that the financial and political organs of the colonialist Jewish Trust and the global organization of Zionism were founded by European Jewish capitalists. Then, with their deployment in America and then in Palestine, a link was set up between these two. To the extent that now in the 21st century, one of the leaders of the American Jewish associations says:

“The American Jewish community has today succeeded at local, national or international levels to obtain what our fathers never thought about gaining. But now instead of them, their children have gained access to such a power in the US and this achievement stems from cooperation among Zionist Jewish organizations in the US.”

Therefore, now after the passage of several decades, we see that the Zionists have succeeded in gaining seats in US political, social, economic and cultural structures and they can easily influence the US global policy and guide it as they wish.

The US unsparing support, the extreme dependence of US executive and non executive apparatuses on Israel, as well as the Zionist regime’s influence on the diplomatic structure of Washington and particularly in the trend of US policy-making in the Middle East, further reveal the role and status of the Zionist Lobby in the US.


Part 1

Influence of the Zionist Lobby in the US Structures

Monday 16 February 2004

For many years, the world has been witnessing that the convergence of the US and the Zionist regime and the unsparing support of the White House for the Israeli regime have provided the circumstances for more aggressions by this regime in the Middle East.

The killing of Palestinians, creation of insecurity in Syria and Lebanon, the extension of Israeli’s nuclear arsenal and other such cases are a manifestation of the unity between Zionism and the US which has faced the region with a very dangerous crisis.

Zionism as a merely political movement declared its existence in the final years of the 19th century and in 1897 and started its activities. Concurrent with the outbreak of World War One, the link between the interests of big western powers and the Zionist movement paved the way for the issuance of the Balfore declaration and finally occupation of Palestine and the setting up of the Zionist regime. The issuance of the declaration of James Balfore the then British foreign secretary on November 2, 1917 the setting up of a national Jewish state in Palestine was actually the crystallization of these united interests.

Although the Zionist leaders were Laic and did not believe in the Jewish religion and did not even think of Palestine becoming a Jewish state, this was raised for the first time by the ruling colonialist powers in Europe, so that a Zionist state in the Middle East center would take care of their interests in this sensitive and strategic region.

Due to its location in the center of the Ottoman Empire and beside the Mediterranean and Suez Canal, Palestine is considered a very important area for Europe.

In this regard, Renowned Anti-Zionist Jewish Critic Musheh Menuhin says: “ Until the 19th century, there existed nothing by the name of Zionism and it was the global selfishness of  the Europe of the 19th century that created the troublesome political nationalism named Zionism. For, the time had come for the British government to invent it, even if it didn’t exist.

Therefore, factors such as the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, World War One and the contradiction of the European government’s interests caused Zionism to declare its existence and Britain pave the way for its establishment in Palestine in the early 20th century.

It was evident that the British government did not want to accept the presence of rival powers and the allies of World War One in its regions in the Middle East and it was seeking to guarantee its monopolized interests in the region.

That’s why the British government by paving the way for the immigration and settlement of world Jews in Palestine and converting this area into a national Jewish state created a strong footprint to provide its interests and dominate the Arab world.

After the passage of three decades of Britain's mandate over Palestine, all infrastructures in this land were destroyed by the Zionist movement and instead the economic, cultural and political centers of Zionism were created. Though the golden age of Zionist-British ties finally came to end after 30 years and due to the nationwide uprising of the Palestinians against Zionism and Britain in 1930s, the latter, in order to preserve its ties with the Arab world adopted, a policy different from that of the Zionists which resulted in confrontation between the Zionist movement and Britain.

It is noteworthy that the European supporters of the Zionist movement knew that in historical terms the Jews has no right in Palestine. In 1920 during the serious debates which took place in the British House of Lords on the mandate of Palestine and the Balfore declaration, one of the Representatives Lord Sydenham stated: “Palestine is not the land of Jews. But the Jews retook it after a savage killing of the Palestinians. If the Jews are the owners of Palestine, so the Romans can be the owners of Britain.

But with the outbreak of World War Two, the US appeared as a newly emerged power on the international scene and the scene of the Middle East policies.

The huge military power as well as the US-desired financial possibilities on one hand and the extraordinary influence of the Zionists on the US government on the other hand, caused the Zionist movement to resist against the new policies of Britain and to incline towards the US.

It is also evident that the then Imperialist covetousness in the world made this country views the Zionist movement as a suitable ally for its Middle East policies. The US particularly in the 1930s had realized the significance of the strategic oil resources in Saudi Arabia and the Persian Gulf and had concluded important contracts with the regional leaders for oil drilling.

On the other hand, the Middle East states and specially the Arab world could turn into profiteering markets for the consumption of American commodities. All these caused the US government after holding the 1942 Zionist conference at Bilt More Hotel to officially announce its full support for the Zionist movement’s policy to turn Palestine into a Jewish state.

At that time the British forces tired of World War Two could no longer resist the US by keeping its previous allies. Therefore, in 1947 Britain officially withdraw from Palestine and by announcing the end of its 30-year mandate, referred the issue of Palestine to the newly formed United Nations.

The UN, under the influence and domination of the then colonialist powers specially the US, approved at the General Assembly the tragic plan of the partition of Palestine in two Palestinian and Jewish states and in this way paved the way for the setting up of the illegal state of Israel on May 14,1948.

Just hours after the withdrawal of the last British soldier from Palestine, the first Zionist government in Palestine declared its existence under US support and vast parts of Palestine were occupied by the Zionists.

The Zionist Plexus Based in America

Monday 19 January 2004

Israeli interests, not American interests.  It is unfortunate that Bush has picked these people to top posts. The sad fact for him is that in the instant he decides to stop the war in Iraq, the Israeli lobby will bring him down, like they did to his father, a decade earlier.

The Washington Institute for Near East Policy is one of the Israeli lobby's think tank. Many of the Israeli lobby's experts come from this front group. It calls for a long program to list them all. Now we are going to give you big-name US politicians out of a list launched in the website of the Counter Punch:

Richard Perle: He is a foreign The reality of the situation is that no one in Washington, whether in the Pentagon or in Congress, wants the Israeli proxy war against Iraq. Only those connected to the Israeli lobby want this war. It is very important to know the identity of these pro-Israeli officials within the administration in order to understand who is behind this war-mongering which serves policy advisor for U.S. President George W. Bush and is the chairman of the Pentagon's Defense Policy Board. A very likely Israeli government agent, Perle was expelled from Senator Henry Jackson's office in the 1970's after the National Security Agency caught him passing Highly-Classified National Security documents to the Israeli Embassy. He is one of the leading pro-Israeli fanatics leading this Iraq war mongering within the administration and now in the media.

Paul Wolfowitz: Deputy Defense Secretary, and member of Perle's Defense Policy Board, in the Pentagon. Wolfowitz is a close associate of Perle, and reportedly has close ties to the Israeli military. Wolfowitz is the number two man within the administration behind the war in Iraq.

Douglas Feith: Under Secretary of Defense and Policy Advisor at the Pentagon. Like Perle and the others, Feith is a pro-Israel extremist, who has advocated anti-Arab policies in the past. He is closely associated with the extremist group, the Zionist Organization of America, which even attacks Jews that don't agree with its extremist views. Feith, like Perle and Wolfowitz, is campaigning hard for this Israeli proxy war in Iraq.

Edward Luttwak: Member of the National Security Study Group of the Department of Defence at the Pentagon. Luttwak is reportedly an Israeli citizen and has taught in Israel. He frequently writes for Israeli and pro-Israeli newspapers and journals. Luttwak is an Israeli extremist whose main theme in many of his articles is the necessity of war in Iraq.

Henry Kissinger: One of many Pentagon Advisors, Kissinger sits on the Pentagon's Defense Policy Board. Kissinger had a part in the Watergate crimes and Southeast Asia mass murders. More recently he served as Serbian Dictator Slobodan Milosevic's Advisor. He consistently advocates war in Iraq.

Robert Satloff: U.S. National Security Council Advisor. Satloff was the executive director of the Israeli lobby's "think tank," Washington Institute for Near East Policy. Many of the Israeli lobby's "experts" come from this front group, like Martin Indyk.

Marc Grossman: Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs. He was Director General of the Foreign Service and Director of Human Resources at the Department of State. Grossman is one of many of the pro-Israel Jewish officials from the Clinton Administration that Bush has promoted to higher posts.

Robert Zoellick: U.S. Trade Representative. He is also one of the more hawkish pro-Israel Jews in the Bush Administration who advocated invading Iraq and occupying a portion of the country in order to set up setting up a puppet government. He consistently advocates the U.S. war in Iraq.

Ari Fleischer: Former Official White House Spokesman for the Bush administration. Prominent in the Jewish community, some reports say he holds Israeli citizenship. Fleischer is closely connected to an extremist Jewish group and holds very extremist and insulting views of non-Jews.

Mel Sembler: President of the Export-Import Bank of the United States. He is a Prominent Jewish Republican and Former National Finance Chairman of the Republican National Committee.

Colin Powell: Secretary of State and ex-chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff. He grew up in a heavily Jewish-populated neighborhood in New York, and speaks Yiddish. The first day in office as secretary of state he said he wants to toughen sanctions on Iraq, and added he will work to “re-energize the sanctions regime, even though he knows the embargo has killed 2 million Iraqi civilians”.

Now that Bush has hired these pro-Israel Jewish lobbyists to the highest positions in America, they have been supporting the war against Iraq, all the while they support the Israeli war-criminal Ariel Sharon in his terrorism and mass-killings of Palestinian civilians. It seems that for Bush the price of achieving the White House involves selling out to the Israeli lobby, much like Clinton, before him.


Muzzling a Whistle-Blower

Wednesday 15 January 2004

Do you remember 1986? Or it is a distant past to recall anything about? If you are into history matters, right now, many events which happened in 1986 are popping up in your mind. Will it ring a bell if I say Mordechai Vanunu? If not, let me tell you something about this guy who has been wasting away at an Israeli prison for some two decades. Vanunu turned into a whistle blower when he told a British daily about Israeli nuclear activities and the fact that it was making two hundred nuclear bombs. Now it is an American magazine’s turn to bring up the case and mention the reasons, Israeli officials are going to use to keep Vanunu and his information on Israeli nukes in jail for some more years. News Week has given the job to its writer Dan Ephron.

Sometime last year Mordechai Vanunu received a visitor at his prison cell in the southern town of Ashkelon. The guest was an Israeli security official, and the proposal he was carrying would have made Vanunu a free man. Vanunu is a former nuclear technician jailed since 1986 for revealing Israel's atomic secrets. Vanunu, who had another year left on his sentence, was asked to sign a pledge to never again talk publicly about Israeli nukes or about Dimona, the nuclear plant where he worked and where Israel has built at least 200 atomic bombs. Though Vanunu had suffered from dreadful prison conditions since his arrest the offer held little appeal.

Mary Eoloff, a retired American schoolteacher along with her husband, legally adopted Vanunu a few years ago, in a failed attempt to win him U.S. citizenship. She says: “he said he won’t do it, he believes in freedom of speech."

Vanunu, a Nobel Peace Prize nominee, is due to exit Ashkelon prison on April 21 and wants to go immediately to the United States. But in the waning months of his 18-year sentence, Israeli officials are quietly considering more punishment for the whistle-blower.

According to a report confirmed by security sources, some people in the defense establishment want to invoke a secret regulation to prevent Vanunu from ever leaving the country. Other government officials believe Vanunu's imprisonment should be extended. Both groups warn that Vanunu, once able to travel and speak freely, will become a powerful agitator for the dismantling of Israel's nuclear weapons. Avner Cohen, an academic who writes about Israel's nuclear policy says: "Having Vanunu running around the U.S. and Europe talking about the bombs Israel has, could be a serious irritant from the Israeli government's perspective".

Muslims and Arabs keep asking if disarming the entire Middle East is the goal what about Israel? The answer has as much to do with politics as it does with strategic considerations. Israel has secured a quiet don't-ask-don't-tell arrangement with the United States. The arrangement says, as long as the Jewish entity doesn't admit having nukes, Washington won't press to eliminate them.

That's why Vanunu's revelation to The Times of London in 1986 got on the nerves of Israeli policymakers. The midlevel technician gave the newspaper not only a tell-all interview about Dimona, he provided photographs from inside the plant taken secretly in the final months of his employment. The revelations destroyed Israel's policy of ambiguity. The government initially tried to discredit him, then lured Vanunu from London to Rome in a Mossad honey trap and whisked him off to Tel Aviv for trial. At least six times in recent years, Israel has denied his request for parole. When asked about the possibility of further sanctions against Vanunu, the Justice Ministry said tersely: "Various issues are being weighed in advance of Mordechai Vanunu's scheduled release. Beyond that, we cannot go into detail."

If allowed out, Vanunu wants to live in the United States and teach history. On the way, he hopes to stop in London where supporters are planning a big bash. Eoloff says, "He'd like to get married and lead a quiet life at first, and that's smart". She adds: "If he speaks out it would be against nuclear threats all around the world."

The United States has put the gun to the heads of many states, calling on them to scrap their atomic programs, peaceful or not, but when it comes to Israel and its arsenal of at least 200 nuclear heads, officials in Washington turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to such a huge weaponry which may explode soon somewhere not close to U.S. interests.

                           The Zionist Plexus Based in America

Monday 5 January 2004

It is now an open secret that the United States has been helping the Israeli Zionist regime take root and spread its occupation on more Palestinian lands. The American fat checks have been funneling into Israeli accounts for several years and still keep going. Some three billion dollars in aid is only the tip of the iceberg, and the bulk of aid goes to Israelis through other channels. Officials in Washington are so happy that they have a poodle in the Middle East that takes US wishes as its command. To prove it is a close friend of Israel, America has done whatever in its power to protect the Jewish entity; one measure is the automatic veto of every UN resolution against Israel. U.S. officials kept turning a blind eye to the fact that power-holders in Tel Aviv dance to their own tune whenever they find an opportunity. But now Americans are feeling the Israeli bite on their feeding hand as the details of an Israeli document known as Clean Break come into the open. Today, we have picked for you a report by Anisa Abd el Fattah published by The Media Monitors Network. Abd el Fattah brings into focus the Israeli document and how Israelis used the United States as a stepping stone.

Molly Moore of the Washington Post reports an Israeli general has admitted to the fact that intelligence information used to support the US led military campaign in Iraq originated in Israel. The report says Brigadier General Shlomo Brom wrote in an analysis for Tel Aviv University that, “Israeli intelligence services and political leaders provided an exaggerated assessment of Iraqi capabilities, raising the possibility that the intelligence picture was manipulated.” The general added, “The failures of this war indicate the weaknesses and inherent flaws within the Israeli intelligence and among Israeli decision makers.” The Washington Post article says, “Israeli officials frequently told foreign journalists before the war that Israel and the United States are sharing information, particularly regarding the possibility of Iraqi missiles and non conventional weapons that could be used against Israel.” Nothing surprising. What is surprising is that even though much of the world questioned the cause of the war, with many analysts suggesting that Israel was providing faulty intelligence for its own reasons, it seems that US political and military leaders went to war without full faith and confidence in the faulty information to appease Israel.

Abdol Fattah goes on to say that the issue has received even closer scrutiny since details of a controversial document called “Clean Break” have been made public. Four Israeli experts put together the document. Three of them have subsequently climbed to top non-elected policy positions in the United States, two at the Pentagon, and one at the American Enterprise Institute. The document was the focus of a conference sponsored by members of Congress. The conference revealed the four men; Feith, Perle, Wursmer and Netanyahu decided as far back as the 1990s that they would use the United States to ride shot-gun for Israel throughout the Middle East, and into Iraq. The document implies that the demise of Iraq is key to Israel’s ability to strengthen its bargaining position with the Arab states. According to the document this relationship is desirable until Israel is economically and militarily positioned to go it alone, making a Clean Break from the United States.

Much of the intelligence, as well as the tactics employed by the United States in respect to security, the war on terrorism, and even the war in Iraq are believed to be either influenced, or directly dictated by Israel. Increasingly it seems that U.S. national worldview is shaped less and less by US interests, culture and values, and more by Israeli interests and perspectives, which as we all know originate from a Zionist worldview and agenda.

Meanwhile, Israel promotes torture as a legitimate and reliable tool for extracting information from suspects, even though international law prohibits the use of torture. Israeli soldiers kill many Palestinian civilians day in day out in their raids into Palestinian territory. They use targeted political assassinations and collective punishment. All of these immoral and illegal tactics are also becoming increasingly familiar and troubling trademarks of US strategy in Iraq. General Brom says, “problems lie in getting carried away with extremes, as was clearly the case with Israeli intelligence on Iraq.”

He adds:" the United States has become somewhat like an idiot cousin who just tags along with whoever claims to be a friend of Israel. It doesn’t seem to matter enough to us or those who hold positions of influence, that usually our so-called friends are friendly only because it serves their interest, or that they could care less about the United States”. The general adds “of course we have those who would trade US security, American lives or whatever they could for wealth, power, and worse of all the advancement of their ideologies and worldview.


Part 17

The Zionist Plexus Based in America

Monday 22 December 2003

The following article is by Jim Lobe that has been published in Daily Star.

The United States has banned several Islamic charities and calls on Arab countries to do the same, saying they are wiring money to extremist groups. But, when it comes to Zionist groups and individuals that are funneling money into activities against Muslims including those in the Occupied Palestine, U.S. officials keep mum and turn a blind eye. It shows that the Zionist lobby in America is very active in supporting those who somehow help Zionist extremists across the planet.

A small group of Californians is trying hard to contribute to President George W. Bush’s “war on terrorism” by shutting down an important source of financing for Jewish extremism in the Occupied Territories. The source is a gambling casino located in Hawaiian Gardens in greater Los Angeles. 75-year-old businessman Irving Moskowitz is the owner of the casino. According to his tax records Irving I. Moskowitz Foundation has funneled tens of millions of dollars into various charities and foundations that support the most extreme elements of the Jewish settlement movement in Israel and the territories. The foundation also provided hundreds of thousands of dollars between 1987 and 2001 to right-wing US Zionist groups, particularly the Zionist Organization of America as well as neo-conservative think tanks among them the Center for Security Policy, and the American Enterprise Institute whose leaders were at the forefront of the drive to war in Iraq.

What Moskowitz does with the profits he makes from the casino, which grosses about 180 million dollars a year, is unknown. As the owner of a private enterprise, his tax records are not publicly available.  Most observers believe he has been providing millions of dollars to militant extremist groups, such as the Aterit Cohanim, which occupies houses in the Arab quarter of East Beit-ol-Moqaddas in order to consolidate Jewish control of the entire city. While the casino has apparently been a cash cow for Moskowitz since it began operating several years ago, in order to continue operations he must obtain a license. The denial of his license application is the goal of a coalition, which consists of community groups, former municipal officials as well as Latino and Muslim activist groups. In addition, a Joint Legislative Audit Committee charged three years ago that Moskowitz and the city government worked together to illegally divert city redevelopment money to build the casino. Activists believe the application should be denied for the same reasons that the Bush administration has pressed Arab governments to shut down charities.

There are several Moskowitz-funded initiatives in the occupied lands and the West Bank, the most deadly of which is the excavation and the 1996 opening of a tunnel near Muslim holy places in East Beitol-maqaddas which  sparked three days of rioting that killed more than 70 people, most of them Palestinian. Since the 1967 war, Moskowitz and foundations controlled by him have secretly purchased homes in and around East Beit-ol-Moqaddas with the apparent intent of eventually moving in the most militant factions of the settlement movement. He has often arranged to move in settlers or begin construction on his properties at sensitive moments in Israeli-Palestinian peace efforts, to stir up tensions in the area. His foundation poured some 4 million dollars between 1993 and 2001 for such purchases to the Miami-based American Friends of Everest Foundation, which is controlled by Moskowitz and his family. The foundation’s support for the settler movement in the West Bank and the Golan Heights has been continuous. Between 1995 and 2001, it provided nearly 750,000 dollars to a number of charities, which have supported Beit Hadassah, a settlement located in the heart of the West Bank city for about 500 settlers who have repeatedly clashed with Palestinian residents. Beit Hadassah is closely linked to a much larger settlement on the outskirts of al-Khalil the home of Baruch Goldstein, the US-born settler who massacred 29 Palestinian worshipers at a city mosque in 1994. Moskowitz is not supporting the people who sit and study; he funds those that are ideologically mobilized, whose students are prepared at any moment to take part in protests and demonstrations, and who think it is their right to uproot olive trees on Arab land, overturn vegetable stands in Arab markets, and wreak havoc. According to the Coalition’s records, Moskowitz’s foundation has also helped Christian Zionist groups that have in turn supported the settlement movement. It also aided US policy groups that identify with extreme Israeli nationalists, including about 500,000 dollars to Americans for a Safe Israel.

The Zionist Plexus Based in America

Does your vote count in America?

Monday 22 December 2003

The following article is by John Anast that published on the US-based al-Jazeerah Info Center.

AIPAC makes political contributions to ensure that your vote and in fact your opinions are largely ignored by members of the US Congress. In a State like Kentucky, which has almost no Zionist advocate, Senator Mitch McConnell toes the Zionist line with legislation encouraging the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. Why? Likely because Mr. McConnell received 368,675 dollars in "political" donations from AIPAC. How many of the good people of Kentucky realize that their vote has been marginalized, and that their senator is owned and controlled by racists. Why else would Mr. McConnell adhere to the Zionist cause?

Every vote cast in the US Congress on behalf of Israel is a vote for the continued ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. It is a vote for the continued racist apartheid policies of Israel.

Even policy votes on national security measures and relations with other nations have become hostage to an aggressive racist Zionist ideology, which places the interests of Israel above those of the United States.

One man, one vote has been replaced with money politics. What US politician in good conscience running for political office in the United States would take money from an organization with the word "Israel" in its name? The minute they do, they have sold out the American public.

People refer to AIPAC as the "Pro-Israeli lobby", but in fact it is a group whose purpose is to support a foreign government by manipulating the election process. But no major media publishes facts and figures regarding the "donations" made by AIPAC. One shocker is democrat Daniel Inouye from Hawaii, a person of color who supports the systematic ethnic cleansing of another people of color for just 175,175 dollars from AIPAC.

It may be time to forego the notion of voting for either republican of democrat and to examine the source of the money behind each candidacy. We must educate the American voter and expose the shenanigans of those who use deception to deny voters their rights. We need candidates who represent America not the agents of a foreign government or country. No other country in the entire world allows political contributions to be made on the basis, desires or perceived needs of any foreign country. In accordance with the Bill of Rights all aid voted for the Jewish state by the US Congress is likely unconstitutional. Where is the open public debate in the media or within the halls of Congress itself?

The conspiracy of silence in the Zionist controlled mainstream media is testimony to the fact that Americans are to be kept stupid and in dark about the facts and corruption of their elected leaders. It is high time to publish the facts and figures in each major and local newspaper listing all political contributions and religious affiliation prior to every election and allow the American people to decide.

Still, the facts speak for themselves. The fact that the racist regime of Israel still receives 15 million dollars per day from US taxpayer money, the fact that 150 billion dollars have been spent so far in Iraq, the overriding fact that those dollars are not spent in America for healthcare or education, but in foreign lands to ensure ethnic cleansing and to justify the unnecessary war in Iraq. The fact that classified military technology still makes it way to Israel and that Israel has increased its espionage activities in the United States all prove beyond any doubt that America’s political system and indeed its politicians are corrupt.

The Zionist Plexus Based in America

                            A Look at the Powerful Jewish Lobby in the  United States   

Monday 15 December 2003

For decades Israel has violated well-established rules of international law and defied numerous United Nations resolutions in its occupation of Palestine in extra-judicial killings, and in its repeated acts of military aggression. It comes as most of the world regards Israel’s policies, and especially its oppression of Palestinians, as outrageous and criminal. This international consensus is reflected, for example, in numerous UN resolutions which have been approved with overwhelming majority. So, the Zionist regime of Israel could not keep up with its killing of Palestinians unless it enjoyed the support of a major power. Mark Weber, the director of the Institute for Historical Review, discusses the reasons which have let Tel Aviv keep going with its crimes in the occupied Palestine. He believes one reason is the Powerful Jewish Lobby in the United States. Let’s see how he goes back deep into half a century to quote those who have been vocal about the issue:

United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan recently said: “the whole World is demanding that Israel withdraw from occupied Palestinian territories. I don't think the whole world can be wrong”. In the United States most politicians and the media still fervently support Israel and its policies. For decades the US has provided Israel with crucial military, diplomatic and financial backing, including more than 3 billion dollars each year in aid.

Why is the U.S. the only remaining bastion of support for Israel?

Although Jews make up only about three percent of the US population, they wield immense power and influence. Since the 1960s, Jews have come to wield considerable influence in American economic, cultural, intellectual and political life. Jews played a central role in American finance during the 1980s, and they were among the chief beneficiaries of that decade's corporate mergers and reorganizations. Stephen Steinlight, former Director of National Affairs of the American Jewish Committee says "Jewish economic influence and power are hugely concentrated in Hollywood, television, and in the news industry.

The influence of American Jews in Washington is somewhat based on the money they contribute to election campaigns. Based on some reports Jews alone contributed 50 percent of the funds for President Bill Clinton's 1996 re-election campaign.

The intimidating power of the "Jewish lobby" is not a new phenomenon, but has long been an important factor in American life.

In 1941 Charles Lindbergh spoke about the danger of Jewish power in the media and government. Lindbergh who is known around for the first solo trans-Atlantic flight, was addressing 7,000 people in Des Moines, Iowa, on September 11, 1941, about the dangers of US involvement in the war then raging in Europe. He said the three most important groups pressing America into war were the British, the Jews, and the Roosevelt administration.

On Jews, he said: "Their greatest danger to this country lies in their large ownership and influence in our motion pictures, our press, our radio, and our government."

In 1978 American scholar Alfred M. Lilienthal wrote in his detailed study, The Zionist Connection that as a result of the Jewish grip on the media news coverage of the Israel-Palestine conflict in American television, newspapers and magazines is relentlessly sympathetic to Israel.

Admiral Thomas Moorer, former Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, has spoken with blunt exasperation about the Jewish-Israeli hold on the United States: I've never seen a President ; I don't care who he is ; stand up to the Israelis. It just boggles the mind. They always get what they want. The Israelis know what is going on all the time. I got to the point where I wasn't writing anything down. If the American people understood what a grip those people have got on our government, they would rise up in arms. Our citizens certainly don't have any idea what goes on.

Today the danger is greater than ever. Israel and Jewish organizations, in collaboration with this country's pro-Zionist groups are prodding the United States into new wars against Israel's enemies. As the French ambassador in London recently admitted, Israel is a threat to world peace. He asked "Why should the world be in danger of World War III because of those people?"

To sum up; Jews wield immense power and influence in the United States. The "Jewish lobby" is a decisive factor in US support for Israel. Jewish-Zionist interests are not identical to American interests. In fact, they often conflict.

As long as the "very powerful" Jewish lobby remains entrenched, there will be no end to the systematic Jewish distortion of current affairs and history, the Jewish-Zionist domination of the U.S. political system, Zionist oppression of Palestinians, the bloody conflict between Jews and Muslims in the Middle East, and the Israeli threat to peace.

The Zionist Plexus Based in America

Tuesday 9 December 2003

The following article has been taken from the Italian Internet Site Come-don-Chisciotte.

Carl Cameron from Fox News recently presented a very interesting investigative TV programme, which was later suspended, and the network went so far in its censorship that it even deleted the programme from its website, only leaving a note saying, “The story does not exist anymore.” Fortunately for the sake of a historical fact, the website pages were downloaded in time and are available in a large number of websites now.

The Fox News programme and other news sources had confirmed that most of the arrested Israelis were war veterans and explosives and electronics experts. Most of them were put through the lie detector test. FBI agents confirmed that a lot of their past investigations had been tampered with. In other words, Israeli technicians invisible warning signals to their spies to escape investigation.

Later it was discovered that Israeli companies such as Comverse and Amdocs had the capability to wiretap US telephone lines. FBI agents told Fox News that the Israelis had a lot of information on the September 11 attacks (which in itself can be an explanation to the fact that not a single Israeli citizen died in the attacks).

On top of this, an American official had informed Fox News that some of the prisoners namely detained Israeli spies were linked to September 11. However he refused to give any further explanations.

The exact words of this official to Fox News were, “The evidence that ties the Israelis with the September 11 attacks is still shrouded in secrecy. I cannot tell you about the evidence, because it is classified information.”

Meanwhile, a small army consisting of Israeli arts students were arrested while they were trying to enter Federal and restricted access buildings. A number of these suspects had been seen lurking around the houses of Federal officials.

Former US Defence Department analyst, Ron Hatchett told Houston’s Channel 11 that he believed these Israeli arts students were in fact spies that would be deployed in future attacks. What things were said in Anna Werner’s First of October 2001 programme? The question was by which foreign groups were Federal buildings in Houston and other cities being guarded? This is what some experts are asking themselves. Particularly after the Federal security officials explained that a group of individuals were acting strangely and curiously they were Israeli arts students.

Hatchett confirms that they behaved in such way that if he were a terrorist he would behave the same. He said, “we need to know whether closed circuit TVs are installed in those buildings or not. What are the entry points into the buildings? How many guards are there? When do they take a break? And none of this has anything to do with customer activities.”

Another source disclosed that there is another “Federal memorandum” that these kinds of activities not only take place in Houston, but they also take place in Dallas, New York, Florida and six other States in the US.

In a report which was broadcast on Houston’s Channel 11 a few days later, it was disclosed that Dallas was under protection. “We said how the arts students tried to infiltrate sensitive sites or at least to try and have them in their control.”

Some stated that this kind of approach could make future assassinations look trivial. OK, now the Federal sources don’t rule out the possibility that all these events were in some way linked to the September 11 attacks, and the reason for this assumption is because of what happened in another Texan city.

At the beginning of the year these so-called “arts students” showed interest in the FBI buildings of Dallas, just as they showed particular interest in the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the Earl Cabell Federal Building. It was here that security guards found a student carefully checking out rooms with a plan of the building in his hands.  

The Dallas police arrested 15 people in March. Thirteen claimed to be Israelis and two claimed to be Colombian, but according to what some sources say all their passports were forged. And another Federal source confirmed that some of those detained had lists of the names and addresses of Federal officials. All the 15 Israelis were sent back to their country.

It is totally incomprehensible why these explosives expert Israelis had disguised themselves as students, and were roaming around the rooms of Federal buildings, like restless ghost just popping out of anywhere?

Why were the ex-Israeli soldiers in the rooms of the Mexican parliament armed with explosives? Why were these Israeli “removals men” arrested in their vans which contained traces of explosives? Is it possible that a number of suspicious characters may have checked out the rooms of the WTC Towers before the September 11 attacks? Why did some TV news programmes such as 60 Minutes, Nightline and Verse from Verse, and in short all other Zionist produced programmes, not even dedicate a thousandth of the coverage time that they gave to the witch-hunt of the Catholic Church over some gay priest, to the “arts students” or the Israeli removals vans? Or even one-hundred thousandth of the time they cover on Muslims on a daily basis?

One would imagine that the blowing the whistle on these conspiracies would attract a lot of audiences, especially for instance when the Oklahoma City Federal Building was blown up by Timothy McVey in 1995. In any case despite the existence of numerous eyewitnesses most of whom were on the scenes, John Doe was never found. Out of all the mainstream US news channels only Fox tried to put together an investigation, and work cautiously on it. However under Zionists’ pressure it quickly fell silent. This, by itself is criminal evidence!

Before his programme was axed, Carl Cameron announced, “DEA, INS and FBI agents all told Fox that investigating or even commenting on an Israeli espionage operation was a professional suicide.”

If a federal agent tries to just give his/her opinion on Israeli espionage activities, he/she has lost his/her job! And if a journalist such as Carl Cameron tries to blow the lid on this scandal, he is unceremoniously told to keep his mouth shut! And if he persists, he could possibly be labelled as an “anti-Semitist”, a label which for many means kissing their career goodbye!

This indicates that the Zionist mafia does anything it wants, whenever and wherever; it chooses to do so, with leadership, funds, and execution it can hide the truth about the composites that form the truth, and this mafia does all this by itself. It prefers to hide and destroy the truth about the Middle East, September 11 and the distortion of the war on terrorism.

The biggest investigation, interviewing and interrogation operation in US history takes place and passes by, and none of these 200 terrorists have been arrested. But the 200 Israeli spies were identified of course; among them were military men, electronics experts, phone tapers, explosives experts, and even high rise building demolition experts.

History shall one day tell the truth, just as the truth was said about “Pearl Harbor”. What is alarming is that when that time comes, no one will be fussing over the September 11 attacks and the war on terrorism any longer. Americans’ attention span does not go beyond 30 years. Their memory span is around 20 or 30 minutes long, like about the same length of time as a TV commercial!

Israel May Soon Take Path U.S. Can't Follow

Sunday 7 December 2003

The following Article is by Jay Bookman, a columnist and U.S policy critic.

Israel stands today at an important crossroads, trying to decide which of the roads it will travel.

If Israel chooses either of the routes, it will repudiate the shared values and strategic interests that have united Israelis and Americans for decades. Those Americans who count themselves as friends of Israel have an obligation to make that danger clear.

The issue, of course, is the fate of 3.5 million Palestinians on the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. Ever since the Camp David accords of 1978, official U.S. and Israeli policy has been based on the expectation that land could be exchanged for peace.

But today, the path to peace is in danger of becoming a dead end. Hundreds of thousands of Israelis now live on occupied Palestinian lands, most of which would have to be surrendered to the Palestinians under the land-for-peace formula. Illegal settlements continue to be built, and a new wall being built to separate Palestinians from Israelis is extending deep into the West Bank.

Israeli officials describe the wall as merely temporary, a necessary means to stem the carnage caused by the martyrdom seeking fighters; they claim that the settlements can still be uprooted when the time comes. But those assurances are becoming less and less believable. If trends continue, a time will come when exchanging territory for peace is no longer a viable option for the Israelis. In fact, some would argue that time has come already.

In fact, Israel intends, that the occupied territories become a permanent part of its state and creating a country that reaches from the Mediterranean to the Jordan River.

To preserve its Jewish character, Israel is going to decide on the following choices:

1- Denying citizenship and voting rights to Palestine Arab majority, thus surrendering any right to call itself a democracy. Given the difficulties inherent in a minority trying to permanently repress a majority, Israel would also be forced to deny basic human rights to its Arab subjects. Israelis would reduce themselves to the Jewish equivalent of white South Africans, who for so long sat uncomfortably astride a black majority. U.S. support for Israel would inevitably erode under those conditions.

2- Israel will try to rid itself of the problem of long-term repression by forcing the Palestinians to leave the country, either directly through threat of violence or indirectly by making life so difficult they would flee. In other words, ethnic cleansing, although the preferred term in the Zionist regime's policy debate is "transfer." There is no question that as usual a strong majority of Israelis find that option all but unthinkable. It is also true, however, that Israel is today employing brutal tactics against Palestinians.

For the moment, Israel would seem to be making no choice whatsoever. But as is often the case, no choice is in fact a choice. The settlements are growing, increasing in population by more than 30 percent in the past five years. In a recent poll, 40 percent of Israelis feared a civil war was probable if they ever tried to evacuate the settlements. The wall is growing longer, the concrete is setting. Quietly, almost unconsciously, Israel is making choices that will set it on a course that the United States should not follow.

Dimensions of Opinion Poll Concerning Zionist Threats to World Peace

Wednesday 3 December 2003

If an opinion poll were to be conducted in the Islamic world concerning the Zionist regime, without the least doubt the Muslims will unanimously call for uprooting of this cancerous tumor. The verdict is clear. Israel is an artificial and usurper state. It has committed crimes against humanity. It is the source of tension, insecurity and instability in not only the Middle East but in the world. But what has amazed political observers and even the western officials were the views expressed by the majority of citizens of countries forming the European Union. In an opinion poll conducted by the European Commission last October, 59 percent of people considered Israel as the greatest threat to world peace. Figures differed in the 15 EU states with 74 percent in the Netherlands holding Israel as the greatest threat to world peace. Austrians came second with 69 percent while the figures for Italy were just below 50 percent, the lowest among all EU states concerning the Zionist threat. The result of the European Commission Opinion Poll is of significant because while European governments have reluctantly toed the American line of support for Israel, the European people have often been accused of anti-Jewish tendencies.  It is a sad fact that most of the European media are either owned by the Zionists or under the influence of the Zionists and usually release news in favor of Israel and its crimes against humanity. The European media tries to keep people in the dark about the real nature of the racist state of Israel and its atrocities against the oppressed Palestinian people the real owners of the country that was illegitimately created in 1948 as Israel. However, despite the factors the European people have rightly pointed at Tel Aviv as the greatest threat to world peace, and if they were to be better informed about events in Occupied Palestine, they will certainly respond with one voice that Israel is a non-entity and the greatest danger to world peace and stability.

The opinion poll proved that lies and deceit are like a cloud that covers the sun for a while but finally fades away as sunlight exposes the realities, a fact that is forgotten by those segments of the western media which try to hide the facts from people. The views of 60 percent of the West Europeans on the war-mongering nature of the Zionist regime should not be ignored by EU officials. They ought to respect the views of their people and accordingly rectify their policies concerning the chronic question of Palestine. The western media should also try to be honest, at least with their own people, and disclose the dimensions of the criminal nature of the Zionist regime. After all, world peace is more important than support for a racist and terrorist entity that has scant regard for all internationally accepted laws and norms, especially in view of the fact that in this era of technology and telecommunications, the data dissemination sources are diversified and European people can receive the facts from different sources including the internet sites. In fact, the Western European people should be commended for keeping their ears and eyes sharp on the realities in Palestine and not believing in the trash dished out by the Zionist-controlled mass media in favor of Israel. Tel Aviv is undoubtedly the greatest threat to world peace and security and it is also interesting to note that the Europeans regard the unilateral policies of the George Bush administration of the US as the second biggest threat to planet earth.

It is heartening to note that the heroic Intifada and the plight of the Palestinian people has attracted the attention of the Europeans and people almost all over the world to the real dangers posed to global stability in this age of globalization. The rightful resistance of an oppressed nation against the usurpers of their homeland has made the right impact and drawn public sympathy. Observers believe that if an opinion poll is conducted in the US which is the greatest support of the Zionist regime most American people too will term the Zionist regime a threat to the international peace and security. As a matter of fact, the increasing isolation of the Zionist regime among the world people and the disclosure of the regime’s crimes have scared and worried the Zionists. It is for this reason that after the release of the results of the recent opinion poll conduced by the European Commission the Zionists have reacted angrily and condemned the opinion poll. Israel is even trying to put pressures on European governments and has resorted to the old worn out trick of complaining of anti-Semitism, when the fact cannot be denied that the Jews make up only a fraction of the Semitic race, whose overwhelming majority are the Arabs including the oppressed Palestinians. Moreover, most of the Zionist officials and the migrants who came from Europe to Palestine between the two world wars, especially those of Russian stock, have no relation to the great Semitic people, and are of Slavic origin. Thus, anti-Semitism has no meaning since the predominant majority of Semites are Muslims and not Jews. It is also clear that the Europeans have condemned the Zionists for savagery and not Judaism or the Jews. Zionism is a racist, discriminatory, irreligious, fascist and terrorist doctrine while the Jewish religion is only a cover to hide the anti-human nature of the founders and officials of the illegal entity called Israel.

The posturing of some European officials against the opinion poll conducted by the European commission was noteworthy. Italy, as the EU’s rotational chairman, expressed discontent over the views of most West European nationals. So great is the pressure on Rome that despite the fact that the Zionists openly insult Prophet Jesus and heap abuses on his mother, the Virgin Mary, Italian Prime Minister Silivio Berlusconi in a telephone contact with the Zionist Prime Minister Ariel Sharon apologized for the results of the opinion poll. These humiliating remarks indicate the influence of the Zionist lobby among the European governments. It seems the EU officials, who claim to have been elected by public vote, disrespect the views of their own people. However, observers believe that the results of the recent opinion poll indicated that despite the frantic efforts of Israel, Zionist influence in Europe is on the decline. The Britain daily Guardian after the release of the opinion poll wrote: the result of the opinion poll showed the gap between Europe and Israel is increasing. The European people consider Israel the main factor responsible for failure of the Middle East peace talks. It is hoped that the results of the recent opinion poll, which clearly showed that Europeans consider the Zionist regime as the greatest threat to world peace, would grant a new opportunity to EU governments to rectify their stand by withdrawing support for Israel and backing the struggle of the Palestinian people to regain their birthrights.


Part 11

The Zionist Plexus Based in America

Monday 24  November 2003

The following article has been taken from the Italian Internet Site Come-don-Chisciotte.

In an interview with Fox News presenter Carl Cameron some time ago, an FBI agent said, “The evidence that ties the Israelis with the September 11 attacks is still shrouded in secrecy. I cannot tell you about the evidence, because it is classified information.” And in an interview with Houston’s Channel 11, Ron Hatchett, the former US Defence Department analyst stated, “They behave in such a way that if I were a terrorist I would behave the same.” And finally Senator Bob Graham says, “When the archives are released, this information will be disclosed, however, it won’t happen for another 20 or 30 years.”

It was previously said that 5 Israeli Mosad agents, celebrated the WTC towers attacks, and they were arrested a while afterward in a white van near the George Washington Bridge on suspicious behavior, and spent weeks in solitary confinement.

Still on the same issue, it was said that on 14 September 2001, one Israeli freight company owned by Dominick Suter, was suddenly closed down and the employees headed for Israel in a hurry. However there were a lot more Israelis acting very suspiciously. In October 2001, three Israeli “movers” were arrested in Plymouth for acting suspiciously. They were seen disposing of household goods in the large disposal container of a restaurant.

When the owner of the restaurant approached the driver of the van who looked Middle-Eastern, he made a run for it, and later on, he was identified as Moshe Elmakias. The owner of the restaurant saw the writings on the side of the van, which read, “Moving Systems Incorporated”, and he immediately called the police. When the police identified the van, the two other Israelis behaved strangely and seemed edgy. Their names were Ayelet Reisler and Ron Katar, and they were both arrested. They were carrying a videotape, which the police studied down at the station.

The videotape showed scenes in downtown Chicago, with particular footage of the Sears Towers. The police quickly called in the FBI, and subsequently it was discovered that these Israelis were traveling on forged documents and work permits. They could not even produce the name and telephone number of the client whose furniture they were supposedly moving.

These Israelis were up to something dirty, and it seemed certain that they had nothing to do with the removals business. They could even have been smug and picked the company title: Moving Systems Incorporated which contained the word Mossad in an encrypted form.

In a brief statement on 10th of October 2001, CNN reported of a terrorist conspiracy against the Mexican parliament, and promised to give further details. However, nothing else was said on this. This was while some time later the same news was published on the front pages of Mexican newspapers and also on the Mexican Justice Ministry’s website.

Two suspects were arrested near the Mexican parliament. They had in their possession a powerful handgun and six bombs and a number of plastic explosives (ideal for blowing up buildings). A few days later, the news disappeared from the newspapers and the Israelis were released, and returned to Israel with nothing to worry about. The two Israeli suspects were Salvador Gerson Sunke and Sar Ben Zui.

Sunke was a Mexican-Jew and Zui was a colonel in Mossad. The Mexican “el Diario De Mexico” revealed that the “Zionist terrorists” had fake Pakistani passports, and the probable motive of this attempted attack was to try to drag Mexico in the “war on terrorism.”

Mexico is not militarily a powerful nation; however, the terror by an “Arab” attack would certainly result in Mexico’s supply cheap oil to US allies. Mexican oil being cheaper in the United States, the country would have been able to cope better, if it had to sever relations with oil rich Arab states, Saudi Arabia in particular.

It becomes clear now why the September 11 attacks chose 15 terrorists that were citizens of Saudi Arabia. A lot of Mexicans were shocked to hear about the release of the two Israelis. However, it comes to no surprise; for the Mexican Foreign Relations Minister is a Zionist called Jorge Gutman.

Zionism’s tentacles have even reached Mexico. “La Voz De Aztlan” newspaper disclosing a remarkable investigation, announced that it had information that the US Ambassador in Mexico had taken a hard and powerful stance towards releasing the two Israelis. Several top level meetings were held between Jorge Gutman, General Machedo de la Kunka, and an emissary from Ariel Sharon in New Mexico.

In November 2001, six Israeli suspects were arrested in an unspecified State. They were carrying cutter blades and oil pipeline and nuclear installation plans. The local police, who had been tipped off by Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) agents, let the detained men go without even telling the FBI.

Dailies such as the Jerusalem Post, Miami Herald, and the Times of London, all printed this news, They even also mentioned FBI’s fury over the matter.  The Jewish terrorists were planning to attack a mosque in California. In December 2001, the LA Times reported that two Jewish terrorists were arrested by the FBI, on charges of attempted assassination of an Arab Israeli Knesset member by the name of Darrell Issa, and planning an attack on a California mosque.

Irv Rubin and Earl Kruger, who were both from the Jewish Defence League (JDL), were charged with planning to blow up a building. This news also very quickly disappeared from the media. In May 2002, another van was intercepted in the Oak Harbor district of Washington DC. This district is close to the Whidbey Naval Air Station.

Fox News reported that the van had been stopped for breaking the speed limit at midnight. The occupants of the van told the police that they were moving furniture. However, since it was in the middle of the night, the police officers did not buy the story. A trained sniffer dog found TNT and RDX explosives in the van. Both Fox News and the Ha 'arets’ newspaper reported that the occupants of the van were Israelis.

In December 2002, Ariel Sharon gave a surprising and unexpected item of news, and announced that the al-Qaeda operatives had an active presence in Israel. But when Palestinian authorities arrested the suspects they confessed they were Palestinians just playing the parts of al-Qaeda agents on the orders of Mossad.

In an article, the Sydney Morning Herald reported that “Palestinian security forces have arrested members of a Palestinian group who were collaborating with Israel, but pretending to be al-Qaeda agents in Israel.” These arrests took place two days after Ariel Sharon made the announcement on al-Qaeda agents being active in Lebanon and the Gaza Strip.

These claims were very astonishing, because it’s just enough to note that the Gaza Strip is under Israeli Security Forces tight control.

Attention must be turned towards the number and situation of Israeli spies who were arrested between 2000 and 2001. According to Fox News, from late 2000 through the whole of 2001, around 200 Israeli spies were arrested in total. This is the largest number of spies that have been discovered in the United States. The Washington Post even reported that some of them had been arrested during the September 11 attacks investigations.

The Zionist Plexus Based in America

Monday 17  November 2003

Israel, whose troubles arise solely from its unwillingness to give back the lands it seized in the 1967 war in return for peace with its neighbors, does not fit in those criteria. In fact, Israel's 1995 per capita gross domestic product was $15,800. That put it below Britain at $19,500 and Italy at $18,700 and just above Ireland at $15,400 and Spain at $14,300.

All four of those European countries have contributed a very large share of immigrants to the U.S., yet none has organized an ethnic group to lobby for U.S. foreign aid. Instead, all four send funds and volunteers to do economic development and emergency relief work in other less fortunate parts of the world. The lobby that Israel and its supporters have built in the United States to make all this aid happen, and to ban discussion of it from the national dialogue, goes far beyond AIPAC, with its $15 million budget, its 150 employees, and its five or six registered lobbyists who manage to visit every member of Congress individually. AIPAC, in turn, can draw upon the resources of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, a roof group set up solely to coordinate the efforts of some 52 national Jewish organizations on behalf of Israel.

Among them are Hadassah, the Zionist women's organization, which organizes a steady stream of American Jewish visitors to Israel; the American Jewish Congress, which mobilizes support for Israel among members of the traditionally left-of-center Jewish mainstream; and the American Jewish Committee, which plays the same role within the growing middle-of-the-road and right-of-center Jewish community. Perhaps the most controversial of these groups is B'nai B'rith's Anti-Defamation League.

Its original highly commendable purpose was to protect the civil rights of American Jews. Over the past generation, however, the ADL has regressed into a conspiratorial and, with a $45 million budget, extremely well funded hate group. In the 1980s, during the tenure of chairman Seymour Reich, who went on to become chairman of the Conference of Presidents, ADL was found to have circulated two annual fund-raising letters warning Jewish parents against allegedly negative influences on their children arising from the increasing Arab presence on American university campuses.

More recently, FBI raids on ADL's Los Angeles and San Francisco offices revealed that an ADL operative had purchased files stolen from the San Francisco police department that a court had ordered to be destroyed because they violated the civil rights of the individuals on whom they had been compiled. ADL, had added the illegally prepared and illegally obtained material to its own secret files, compiled by planting informants among Arab-American, African-American, anti-Apartheid and peace and justice groups. The ADL infiltrators took notes of the names and remarks of speakers and members of audiences at programs organized by such groups. ADL agents even recorded the license plates of persons attending such programs and then suborned corrupt motor vehicles department employees or renegade police officers to identify the owners.

Although one of the principal offenders fled the United States to escape prosecution, no significant penalties were assessed. ADL's Northern California office was ordered to comply with requests by persons upon whom dossiers had been prepared to see their own files, but no one went to jail and as yet no one has paid fines.

Not surprisingly, a defecting employee revealed in an article he published in the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs that AIPAC, too, has such "enemies" files. They are compiled for use by pro-Israel journalists like Steven Emerson and other so-called "terrorism experts," and also by professional, academic or journalistic rivals of the persons described for use in blacklisting, defaming, or denouncing them. What is never revealed is that AIPAC's "opposition research" department, under the supervision of Michael Lewis, son of famed Princeton University Orientalist Bernard Lewis, is the source of this defamatory material.

But this is not AIPAC's most controversial activity. In the 1970s, when Congress put a cap on the amount its members could earn from speakers' fees and book royalties over and above their salaries, it halted AIPAC's most effective ways of paying off members for voting according to AIPAC recommendations. Members of AIPAC's national board of directors solved the problem by returning to their home states and creating political action committees (PACs). PAC’s have most of the special interests; as do many major corporations, labor unions, trade associations and public-interest groups. But the pro-Israel groups went wild. To date some 126 pro-Israel PACs have been registered, and no fewer than 50 have been active in every national election over the past generation.

Even candidates who do not need this kind of money certainly don't want it to become available to a rival from their own party in a primary election, or to an opponent from the opposition party in a general election. As a result, all but a handful of the 535 members of the Senate and House vote as AIPAC instructs when it comes to aid to Israel, or other aspects of U.S. Middle East policy.

There is something else very special about AIPAC's network of political action committees. In fact, the congress members know it when they list the contributions they receive on the campaign statements they have to prepare for the Federal Election Commission. But their constituents don't know this when they read these statements. So just as no other special interest can put so much "hard money" into any candidate's election campaign as can the Israel lobby, no other special interest has gone to such elaborate lengths to hide its tracks. Although AIPAC, Washington's most feared special-interest lobby can hide how it uses both carrots and sticks to bribe or intimidate members of Congress, it cannot hide all of the results.

Anyone can ask one of their representatives in Congress for a chart prepared by the Congressional Research Service, a branch of the Library of Congress that shows Israel received $62.5 billion in foreign aid from 1949 through 1996. The total of U.S. foreign aid to all of the countries of sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean combined was 62.5 billion dollars almost exactly the amount given to Israel. In mid-1995 the sub-Saharan countries had a combined population of 568 million. The 24.4 billion dollars in foreign aid they had received by then amounted to 42.99 dollars per sub-Saharan African.

Similarly, with a combined population of 486 million, all of the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean together had received $38. billion dollars. This amounted to 79 dollars per person (up to 1995).

The per capita U.S. foreign aid to Israel's 5.8 million people during the same period was 10.7 dollars. This meant that for every dollar the U.S. spent on an African citizen, it spent 250.65 dollars on an Israeli, and for every dollar it spent on someone from the Western Hemisphere outside the United States, it spent $214 on an Israeli.


Part 10

The Zionist Plexus Based in America

Monday 10  November 2003

The following article is about the amount of aid that the United States grants to the Zionist regime. The article consists of accurate facts and figures and clearly shows how much more Israel gets in economic and military aid from Washington than any other country receives. This is while the gross income of this regime is very high. The authors of this article name the powerful Zionist lobbyists as the main cause of this highly imbalanced state of affairs.

Since 1992, the U.S. has offered Israel an additional 2 billion dollars annually in loan guarantees. Congressional researchers have disclosed that between 1974 and 1989, 16.4 billion dollars in U.S. military loans to Zionist regime were converted to grants. Indeed, all past U.S. loans to Israel in the past have eventually been forgiven by the U.S. congress, which has undoubtedly helped Israel's often-touted claim that they have never defaulted on a U.S. government loan. U.S. policy since 1984 has been that economic assistance to Israel must equal or exceed Israel's annual debt repayment to the United States. Unlike other countries, which receive aid in quarterly installments, aid to Israel since 1982 has been given in a lump sum at the beginning of the fiscal year, leaving the U.S. government to borrow from future revenues. Israel even lends some of this money back through U.S. treasury bills and collects the additional interest. In addition, there is the more than 1.5 billion dollars in private U.S. funds that go to Israel annually in the form of 1 billion dollars in private tax-deductible donations and 500 million dollars in Israeli bonds. The ability of Americans to make what amounts to tax-deductible contributions to a foreign government, made possible through a number of Jewish charities, does not exist with any other country. Nor do these figures include short- and long-term commercial loans from U.S. banks, which have been as high as 1 billion dollars annually in recent years.

Total U.S. aid to Israel is approximately one-third of the American foreign-aid budget, even though Israel comprises just a scant percent of the world's population and already has one of the world's highest per capita incomes. Indeed, Israel's GNP is higher than the combined GNP of Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, the West Bank and Gaza. With a per capita income of about $14,000, Israel ranks as the sixteenth wealthiest country in the world; Israelis enjoy a higher per capita income than oil-rich Saudi Arabia and are only slightly less well-off than most western European countries.

Economic aid to Israel is not termed as development assistance, but instead uses the term "economic support funding." Given Israel's relative prosperity, U.S. aid to Israel is becoming increasingly controversial. In 1994, Yossi Beilen, Deputy Foreign Minister of Israel and a Knesset member, told the Women's International Zionist Organization, "If our economic situation is better than in many of your countries, how can we go on asking for your charity?"

"The U.S. aid relationship with Israel is unlike any other in the world," says Stephen Zunes during a January 26 CPAP presentation. "In sheer volume, the amount is the most generous foreign aid program ever between any two countries," adds Zunes, an Associate Professor of Politics and Chair of the Peace and Justice Studies Program at the University of San Francisco.

He explored the strategic reasoning behind the aid, asserting that it parallels the "needs of American arms exporters" and the role "Israel could play in advancing U.S. strategic interests in the region."

Although Israel is an "advanced, industrialized, technologically sophisticated country," it "receives more U.S. aid per capita annually than the total annual GDP per capita of several Arab states." Approximately a third of the entire U.S. foreign aid budget goes to Israel, "even though Israel comprises just…one-thousandth of the world's total population, and already has one of the world's highest per capita incomes."

U.S. government officials argue that this money is necessary for "moral" reasons-some even say that Israel is a "democracy battling for its very survival." If that were the real reason, however, aid should have been highest during Israel's early years, and would have declined, as Israel grew stronger. Yet, "the pattern…has been just the opposite." According to Zunes, "99 percent of all U.S. aid to Israel took place after the June 1967 war, when Israel found itself more powerful than any combination of Arab armies…."

The U.S. supports Israel's dominance so it can serve as "a surrogate for American interests in this vital strategic region." "Israel has helped defeat radical nationalist movements" and has been a "testing ground for U.S. made weaponry." Moreover, the intelligence agencies of both countries have "collaborated," and "Israel has funneled U.S. arms to third countries that the U.S. [could] not send arms to directly…like South Africa, like the Contras, and Guatemala under the military junta." Zunes cited an Israeli analyst who said: "'It's like Israel has just become another federal agency when it's convenient to use and you want something done quietly."' Although the strategic relationship between the United States and the Persian Gulf Arab states have been strengthening in recent years, these states "do not have the political stability, the technological sophistication, [or] the number of higher-trained armed forces personnel" as does Israel.

Matti Peled, Former Israeli Major General and Knesset Member, told Zunes that he and most Israeli generals believe this aid is "little more than an American subsidy to U.S. arms manufacturers," considering that the majority of military aid to Israel is used to buy weapons from the U.S. Moreover, arms to Israel create more demand for weaponry in Arab states. According to Zunes, "the Israelis announced back in 1991 that they supported the idea of a freeze in Middle East arms transfers, yet it was the United States that rejected it."

In the fall of 1993-when many had high hopes for peace-78 senators wrote toFormer President Bill Clinton insisting that aid to Israel remain "at current levels." Their "only reason" was the "massive procurement of sophisticated arms by Arab states." The letter neglected to mention that 80 percent of those arms to Arab countries came from the U.S.

Zunes says "I'm not denying for a moment the power of AIPAC [the American Israel Public Affairs Committee], the pro-Israel lobby," and other similar groups. Yet the "Aerospace Industry Association which promotes these massive arms shipments…is even more influential." This association has given two times more money to campaigns than all of the pro-Israel groups combined. Its "force on Capitol Hill, in terms of lobbying, surpasses that of even AIPAC." Zunes asserts that the "general thrust of U.S. policy would be pretty much the same even if AIPAC didn't exist. An increasing number of Israelis are pointing out" that these funds are not in Israel's best interest. Quoting Peled, Zunes says, "this aid pushes Israel 'toward a posture of callous intransigence' in terms of the peace process."

Moreover, for every dollar the U.S. sends in arms aid, Israel must spend two to three dollars to train people to use the weaponry, to buy parts, and in other ways make use of the aid. Even "main-stream Israeli economists are saying [it] is very harmful to the country's future." The Israeli paper Yediot Aharonot described Israel as "'the godfather's messenger' since [Israel] undertake[s] the 'dirty work' of a godfather who 'always tries to appear to be the owner of some large, respectable business."' Israeli Satirist B. Michael refers to U.S. aid this way: "my master gives me food to eat and I bite those whom he tells me to bite. It's called strategic cooperation." 'To challenge this strategic relationship, one cannot focus solely on the Israeli lobby but must also examine these "broader forces as well." "Until we tackle this issue head-on," it will be "very difficult to win" in other areas relating to Palestine. "The results" of the short-term thinking behind U.S. policy "are tragic," not just for the "immediate victims" but "eventually [for] Israel itself" and "American interests in the region." The U.S. is sending enormous amounts of aid to the Middle East, and yet "we are less secure than ever"-both in terms of U.S. interests abroad and for individual Americans.

Zunes refers to a "growing and increasing hostility [of] the average Arab toward the United States." In the long term, says Zunes, "peace and stability and cooperation with the vast Arab world is far more important for U.S. interests than this alliance with Israel." This is not only an issue for those who are working for Palestinian rights, but it also "jeopardizes the entire agenda of those of us concerned about human rights, concerned about arms control, concerned about international law." Zunes sees significant potential in "building a broad-based movement around it."

For many years, the American media said that "Israel receives 1.8 billion dollars in military aid" or that "Israel receives 1.2 billion dollars in economic aid." Both statements were true, but since they were never combined to give us the complete total of annual U.S. aid to Israel, they also were lies—true lies.

Recently Americans have begun to read and hear that "Israel receives 3 billion dollars in annual U.S. foreign aid." That's true. But it's still a lie. The problem is that in fiscal 1997 alone, Israel received from a variety of other U.S. federal budgets at least 525.8 million dollars above and beyond its 3 billion dollars from the foreign aid budget, and yet another 2 billion dollars in federal loan guarantees. So, the complete total of U.S. grants and loan guarantees to Israel for fiscal 1997 was 5.5 billion dollars. Probably the only members of Congress who even suspect the full total of U.S. funds received by Israel each year are the privileged few committee members who actually mark it up. And almost all members of the concerned committees are Jewish, have taken huge campaign donations orchestrated by Israel's Washington, DC lobby, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), or both. These congressional committee members are paid to act, not talk. So they do and they don't.

The same applies to the president, and the US government. They all submit a budget that includes aid for Israel, which Congress approves, or increases, but never cuts. But no one in the executive branch mentions that of the few remaining U.S. aid recipients worldwide, all of the others are developing nations which either make their military bases available to the U.S., who have suffered some crippling blow of nature to their abilities to feed their people such as earthquakes, floods or droughts.

The Zionist Plexus Based in America

U.S. Responsibility and the Pro-Zionist Lobby

Monday 3 November 2003

Approximately one year ago, presidential hopeful Al Gore stood before the participants at the annual Policy Conference organized by the pro-Zionist American Israel Public Affairs Committee.

Gore told the audience about a bizarre meeting that had occurred several decades earlier between Israel’s first prime minister, David Ben-Gurion, and the then-US. ambassador, Ogden Reid. Apparently, the ambassador walked into Ben Gurions office and on finding the prime minister standing on his head, decided to follow suit. What’s the moral of this tale? According to Gore, even if the world is turned upside down, the United States and Israel will see eye to eye.

Gore's vague words are painfully clear today. The world has been turned upside down in the Occupied Territories, and the U.S. and Israeli governments are in complete agreement that the Palestinians are to blame, which was aptly demonstrated during a recent news conference in which President Bush proclaimed, the signal to the Palestinians is to stop the violence. It is so clear. The fact that Israel’s colonial occupation has continued for more than three decades is irrelevant to the president. Instead, he seems intent on propagating the Palestinian equals violence doctrine, which is vital to Israel’s public relations campaign.

It is obvious that the Bush administration’s support for Israel is more than just verbal. The president will continue to push for economic and military aid to Israel, which has been estimated between 3 and 5.5 billion dollars per year. There are countless examples of how this military aid has been used to terrorize innocent people. On one occasion, in the Palestinian town of Beit Jala, an apartment complex owned and inhabited by three brothers and their families--a total of twenty-five people; had been hit by three rockets, destroying a kitchen, a bathroom, and part of the buildings foundation. And there was the remains of one rocket, on which one could see the inscription “Made in the U.S.A.”

President Bush will steadfastly uphold the U.S. tradition of giving Israel diplomatic support; this was recently illustrated when the U.S. vetoed a UN resolution that would have allowed an unarmed international observer force into the Occupied Territories.

Also the U.S. has used its diplomatic muscle to make sure that Zionism was not discussed during the UN World Conference on Racism. However, even if it was discussed, the U.S. had threatened to boycott the conference. A U.S. State Department official explained his country’s reasoning to this issue that there have been two previous conferences on racism one in 1978 and the other one, in 1983, and we didn’t go to those because they were about Zionism being a form of racism and about the apartheid regime in South Africa, exclusively. They were country-specific polemic-fests, that’s what they were foreseen to be and that’s what they turned out to be. He then promised that the U.S. would attend if, and only if, the conference addressed racism as a worldwide phenomenon and not as a country-specific issue.

He just said that, we boycotted the other conferences because we had good relations with the Zionist regime in Israel and the apartheid regime in South Africa, and by condemning them, we would have been condemning ourselves. He said: “we would attend this year’s conference as long as it doesn’t vilify our ally, Israel, and as long as we speak about racism in an abstract and irrelevant manner.”

Essentially, Israel’s 34-year occupation has nothing to fear from the current U.S. government. Israel will continue to expropriate Palestinian land, demolish Palestinians homes, build and expand settlements and bypass roads, and isolate and suffocate the Palestinians in their reservations, that is, cities. The U.S. will respond to these colonial policies with meaningless rhetoric or silence.

Regarding the US actions during this conflict, one thing is certain: its support for Israel and its indifference in the face of Palestinian suffering are a direct result of an ideological occupation that has gripped the U.S. government. This occupation is based on the internalization of Israel’s arguments vis-à-vis the current conflict, and if its institutions are not challenged, then the life blood of the Israeli occupation of Palestine that is the U.S. economic, military, and diplomatic support--will continue to flow freely. The success of this ideological occupation is partly the result of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, considered one of the top five most influential lobbying organizations in the United States. As Bill Clinton once said, this committee has done a magnificent job, better than anybody else lobbying in Washington, D.C. You have been stunningly effective. This effectiveness could be seen by the sheer number of policy makers who attended its annual Policy Conference in March,103 members of the House of Representatives, 43 senators, and 15 officials including Secretary of State Colin Powell from the Bush administration.

American Israel’s Public Affairs Committee’s ongoing mission is to nurture and advance the U.S.-Israel relationship by advocating strong U.S. economic, military and political support for Israel. According to Paul Findley, author of “They Dare to Speak Out”, "People and Institutions Confront Israel’s Lobby", the organization’s strength is based on its ability to tap the resources of a broad nationwide network of unpaid activists who are prepared to rally their communities, write letters to the media, provide financial resources to the committee, and contact their representatives in the government.  The organization uses its formidable lobbying abilities to maintain the U.S. governments unwavering support for Israel and to make life difficult for any public official who dares to challenge the status quo.

In addition, this committee is very active on college campuses throughout the U.S. It has a Political Leadership Development Program whose goal is to get college students involved in pro-Israel activity. Five regional Field Organizers recruit students who are then trained as activists during regional workshops and conferences and are kept updated through newsletters, e-mails, and legislative alerts. According to Findley, during the mid-1980s, American Israel public affairs committee had its student activists fill out reports on faculty members and college organizations that criticized Israel. The information was used to produce the committee’s College Guide, such as exposing the Anti-Israel Campaign on Campus, which gave Israeli apologists plenty of targets to harass.

Findley also reports on the student activist’s use of creative packaging to try to silence Israel’s critics. During a speech at the University of Washington, Professor Edward Saeed witnessed creative packaging firsthand: They stood at the door of the auditorium and distributed a blue leaflet which seemed like a program but it was in fact a denunciation of the professor as a terrorist. There were quotations from the PLO, and things that I had said were mixed in with things they claimed the PLO had said about murdering Jews. Basically, this public affairs committee not only tries to strengthen ties between the U.S. and Israel, but its activists also work to intimidate and defame those who are critical of Israeli policy.

Nevertheless, as more Americans begin to speak out against the Israeli occupation of Palestine, they must also condemn institutions like American Israel Public Affairs Committee, whose influence is greatly responsible for the U.S. government’s unconditional support for Israel. Those struggling for a just peace must expose and isolate the pro-Israel lobby by associating it with occupation, colonialism, racism, and violence. It can no longer be allowed to escape public scrutiny. For far too long it has arrogantly attacked individuals and organizations that have had the courage to criticize Israeli policy. It’s time to resist.

The Zionist Plexus Based in America

The Israel Lobby and Distorting U.S. Foreign Policy

Monday 27 October 2003

The following article is by Michael Lind, who is a senior fellow at the New America Foundation, and a former executive editor of The National Interest.

The Israel lobby distorts U.S. foreign policy in a number of ways. Israel's occupation of the West Bank and Gaza, enabled by U.S. weapons and money, inflames anti-American attitudes in Arab and Muslim countries. The expansion of Israeli settlements on Palestinian land makes a mockery of the U.S. commitment to self-determination for Kosovo, East Timor and Tibet. The U.S. strategy of dual containment of Iraq and Iran pleases Israel, which is most threatened by them, but violates the logic of real politic and alienates most of America's other allies. Beyond the region, U.S. policy on nuclear weapons proliferation is undermined by the double standard that has led it to ignore Israel's nuclear program while condemning those of India and Pakistan. To examine this issue more, we would bring you excerpts of an article entitled “The Israel Lobby and distorting U.S. foreign Policy” By Michael Lind, who is a senior fellow at the New America Foundation, And a former executive editor of The National Interest.

Until recently, America's Middle East policy was a peripheral part of its global strategy, which focused on preventing the Soviet Union from intimidating U.S. allies in Western Europe and East Asia. Britain was the dominant Western power in the Middle East until the 1960s, and U.S. influence was countered in much of the region by the Soviet Union until the end of the Cold War. The indifference of much of the national security elite and the public to the region, in between crises, permitted U.S. policy to be dominated by two U.S. domestic lobbies, one ethnic and one economic namely the Israel lobby and the oil industry.

 Today the Middle East is becoming the center of U.S. foreign policy, a fact illustrated in the most shocking way by the al-Qaeda attacks on New York and Washington. A debate within the U.S. over the goals and methods of American policy in the Middle East is long overdue. Unfortunately, an uninhibited debate is not taking place, because of the disproportionate influence of the Israel lobby.

The Israel lobby is one special-interest pressure group among many. It is a loose network of individuals and organizations, of which the most important are the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, described by the Detroit Jewish News as "a veritable training camp for Capitol Hill staffers" and the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations. The Israel lobby is not identical with the diverse Jewish-American community. Many Jewish-Americans are troubled by Israeli policies and some actively campaign against them, while some non-Jewish Americans, most of them members of the Protestant right- play a significant role in the lobby.

The Israel lobby is united not by a consensus about Israeli policies but by a consensus about U.S. policies toward Israel. Most of the disparate elements of the pro-Israel coalition support two things. The first is massive U.S. funding for Israel. As Stephen M. Walt writes in International Security that  "In 1967 Israel's defense spending was less than half the combined defense expenditures of Egypt, Iraq, Jordan and Syria; today Israel's defense expenditure is 30 percent larger than the combined defense spending of these four Arab states." Israel receives more of America's foreign aid budget than any other country t5hats 3 billion dollars a year, two-thirds in military grants. Total aid since 1979 is over 70 billion dollars.

Along with aid, the Israel lobby demands unconditional U.S. diplomatic protection of Israel in the U.N. and other forums. The U.S. has been wrong to block repeatedly efforts by its major democratic allies in the U.N. Security Council to condemn Israeli repression and colonization in the occupied territories.

It is difficult to prove direct cause-and-effect connections between the power of a lobby and America's foreign policy positions. The influence of the lobby may be easier to detect in the way U.S. positions have shifted on more specific   aspects of the conflict ,  for  example, Israeli settlements in the occupied territories were regarded as illegal during the Carter administration. Under Reagan, they shifted to being an "obstacle" to peace and are now just a complicating actor. Similarly, East Beit-ol-Moqaddas was considered by the U.S. to be part of the occupied territories but recently its status has become rather more ambiguous.

The Israel lobby is different in strategy and scale from other historic American ethnic lobbies.

Most ethnic lobbies-of which the German and Irish Diasporas were the most influential in the past-have based their power on votes, not money. The influence of these lobbies has usually been confined to cities and states in which particular ethnic groups have been concentrated-Irish like American Boston, German-American Milwaukee, and Cuban-American Miami. The emergent Latino lobby is similar in its geographic limitation. The small U.S. Jewish population, about 2 percent of the total, is highly concentrated in New York, Los Angeles, Miami and a few other areas.

The Israel lobby is not primarily a traditional ethnic voter machine; it is an ethnic donor machine. Unique among ethno-political machines in the U.S., the Israel lobby has emulated the techniques of national lobbies based on economic interests or social issues.

Stephen Steinlight, in an essay for the Center for Immigration Studies, describes how the Israel lobby uses donations to influence elected officials. Material wealth of the Jewish community will continue to give it significant advantages. That power is exerted within the political system from the local to national levels through soft money, and especially the provision of out-of-state funds to candidates sympathetic to Israel.

As well as campaign contributions, the Israel lobby's power is exercised through influence on government appointments. Until recently, Democrats and Republicans differed in their attitude to he lobby but now both parties are significantly influenced by it, although in different ways.

In 1997, Fran Katz, the deputy political affairs director of American Israel public affairs committee , became finance director of the Democratic National Committee; the previous year, the former chairman of this committee ,Steve Grossman, had become national chairman of the Democratic Party, telling the press, "My commitment to strengthening the U.S.-Israel relationship is beyond doubt.”

Clinton also appointed Martin Indyk, a veteran of a pro-Israel think-tank associated with the committee, as ambassador to Israel, only a few days after this Australian citizen received his U.S. citizenship papers. There is a fact that so many of the senior U.S. administration officials had ties to the Israel lobby

And they raised troubling questions about the ability of America to act as an honest broker.

Like other lobbies whose power is based on campaign money and appointments, the Israel lobby has influence chiefly over elected officials and their staffs. It has little ability to influence career public servants, such as those in the military, the intelligence agencies and the Foreign Service. At most, it can try to de-legitimize such officials when they do not play along by, for example, vilifying members of the U.S. foreign service as "Arabists." And the uniformed military is often attacked in the pages of pro-Israel journals.

After campaign contributions and high-level appointments, media influence is the third major asset of the Israel lobby. The reporters of The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal and the television networks are reasonably fair in their coverage of the Middle East. The problem is that the Arab-Israeli conflict is presented in the absence of any historical or political context. For example, the conventions of reporting the Arab-Israeli conflict in the mainstream press typically portray the Palestinians as aggressors "In response to Palestinian violence, Israel fired missiles into Gaza." No reporters ever say, "In response to Israel's three-decade occupation of the West Bank and Gaza, Palestinian gunmen fought back against Israeli forces."

Still, many journalists reporting from the Middle East, both Jewish and non-Jewish, try hard to be objective. It is not in the news stories, but in the opinion pages and the journals of opinion-which ought to provide the missing context-that propaganda for Israel has free reign. And anything more than the mildest criticism of Israel is taboo in the mainstream media.

Within part of the Jewish-American population, the influence of Zionism appears to be increasing. This is a recent phenomenon.

Nonetheless, the Israel lobby's influence on U.S. policy and public opinion is challenged by groups ranging from the increasingly vocal Arab-American lobby and black Democrats, to career military and foreign service personnel and the Republican business establishment, particularly oil executives, who are more interested in the Persian Gulf than in the West Bank.

Many journalists and policy experts say in private that they are afraid of being blacklisted by editors and publishers who are zealous Israel supporters; top jobs in the U.S. national security apparatus routinely go to individuals with close personal and professional ties to Israel and its American lobby; and soldiers and career diplomats are sometimes smeared in whisper campaigns if they thwart the goals of Israeli governments. In these circumstances, how could U.S. policy not be biased in favor of Israel?

What is needed at this moment in American and world history is a responsible criticism of the U.S. Israel lobby.

In the years ahead, Americans must reform their political system to purge it of the corrupting influence.

The Zionist Plexus Based in America

Israel is the US Demise

Monday 20 October 2003

The following article is by Josh Frank ,a journalist living in New York City.

It is well known that the pro-Israel lobby has been at the forefront in campaign contributions since the late 1980s. Buying access and influencing policy has been their forte. From Republicans to Democrats, pro-Zionist factions wield much power in Washington. The American Israel Affairs Committee has been the most active of these forces; ranking in at number four on top ten most effectual lobbying groups in the US. Although Committee has business partners on both sides of the aisle, Democrats reap the most benefits, accepting over 20 million dollars more than the Republicans since 1990.

The Clinton Administration was especially notorious for its ties to the Zionist lobby.  Acting President of Committee during the time, Steven Grossman, spent many nights in the Clinton White House. Grossman was also the Chair of the Democratic National Committee from 1996-99, and now heads the fundraising campaign of presidential candidate Howard Dean.

So what Middle-East direction shall the US take if progressives decide to unite and dump Bush?  It's becoming more and more apparent that Democrats won’t endorse any populist platform.

Unfortunately, it may signal the demise of the US peace and security as well. The largest threats to the US security stem directly from the US backing of Israel. Similar to the US involvement in Colombia, and the outrageous "Plan Colombi," which isn’t about halting coca production, but about protecting oil interests. The US support of Israel is also not about security, it’s about an old alliance, that's out of Americans control and  is dangerous. The US is financially supporting a brutal occupation.

The US involvement will inevitably lead to more severe terrorist strikes in the United States. Whether its simultaneous suicide bombings on New York subways, or poisoning of water systems in Boise, the likelihood of being attacked has rarely been greater.  For that reason alone, opposition Party leaders, Democratic Presidential candidates in particular - should adamantly oppose the funding of Sharon’s Zionist government of Israel.

Howard Dean has been attacked for his centrist stance on the issue.  Stating that the US must not take sides in the conflict never once denouncing the US funding of Israel with over 134 billion dollars handed over since 1949.

The Zionist Lobby may have their way with Dean soon enough.  They've already secured the loyalty of two of Dean’s harshest pro-Israel critics.  What does this say for their party as a whole?  Will Democratic loyalists press their leaders to take a hard line with Sharon?  Will they press them to take sides with Jewish dissidents in Israel.

So where does this leave Americans?  Right in the line of fire is where. If anything can be said after three years of Bush, it’s that the US role in the Middle East should be altered indefinitely. Peace doesn’t run through Baghdad, but Jerusalem. Americans need leaders that know this. Not leaders whose campaign employs former Committee lobbyists, apologetic to Israel’s Zionist occupation of Palestine.

However, money buys power.  And many Democrats are bought just like Republicans.  How much time do Americans have before desperate Palestinian empathizers, sacrifice their lives? 

Just like Bush, no Democratic President will reconsider Americans support for the terrorist Likud Party.  It will continue to be a one-sided critique of the Palestinian martyrdom seeking fighters, barely mentioning Israel’s bloated military budget, and the terrorism it supports.

Americans tax dollars should not fund religious ventures of any kind-- especially not Sharon's Zionist greed. Americans must admire the thousands of Jewish dissidents working for social justice the Israelis denouncing Sharon, and refusing to serve in the occupied territories.  One can only hope their influence over the US politicians could be as great as Committee. Misdirection of US foreign policy can’t emote blind patriotism forever.  Sooner or later Americans will suffer the ramifications.  

This means progressives must work harder than ever to bring about the drastic changes that are needed. Even if Bush is defeated in 2004, there will still be an enormous amount of work that will need to be done before the Left can claim "victory."

Too bad American demise has been foreshadowed by a bunch of Committee lobbyists who tout their dollars all over Washington. Too bad so many of the US politicians can be bought and sold, regardless of the outcomes. Too bad indeed.

The Zionist Plexus Based in America

 American Zionism, the real problem (II)

Monday 13 October 2003

The following article is by Edward Saeed, the leading Palestinian intellectual and university professor of English and comparative literature of Columbia University.

The general picture is that Israel is so surrounded by rock-throwing Palestinians that even the missiles, tanks and helicopter gunships that have been used to "defend" Israelis from the violence are simply warding off a terrible force.

It is also worth mentioning that so successful has this Zionization of the media been that not a single map has been published or shown on television to remind American viewers and readers who are notoriously ignorant of both geography and history that Israeli encampments, settlements, roads and barricades crisscross Palestinian land in Gaza and the West Bank. Moreover, as happened in Beirut in 1982, there is a veritable Israeli surrounding of Palestinians, including of Arafat and his men. Completely forgotten, if it was ever at all understood, is the system of Areas A, B, and C by which the military occupation of 40 per cent of Gaza and 60 per cent of the West Bank continues, and which the Oslo peace process was never really designed to end, much less totally modify.

The Zionized media was a deliberate one at the outset and has now become automatic. It has allowed phony commentators to sell  their wares shamelessly, speak about American even-handedness, Israeli flexibility and generosity. It has the result not only of permitting the completely preposterous notion of a Palestinian attack on Israel to prevail, but it also further dehumanizes Palestinians as being beasts without sentience or motive. 

Thus little wonder that when the figures of the dead and wounded are recited no nationalities are given: this lets Americans assume that the suffering is equally divided between the "warring parties," and in fact elevates Jewish suffering and reduces or eliminates Arab feelings entirely, except of course for rage. Rage and its cognates remain as the only and certainly the defining Palestinian emotion. It explains the violence, and indeed, it reifies it so that Israel has come to represent a decency and democracy that is forever surrounded by rage and violence. No other process can logically explain the stone throwers and the athletic Israeli "defense." 

Nothing is said of house demolitions, land expropriations, illegal arrests, torture and the like. Nothing is cited about what is the longest military occupation in modern times; nothing about UN resolutions; nothing about Israeli contraventions of all the Geneva Conventions; nothing about the sufferings of one entire people and the inflexibility of another. Forgotten are the catastrophe of 1948, ethnic cleansing and massacres, the devastation of Qibya, Kafr Qassem, Sabra and Shatila, the long years of military government for non-Jewish Israeli citizens to say nothing of their continued oppression as a persecuted 20 per cent minority within the Jewish state. Ariel Sharon at best is a provocation. He has never been introduced a war criminal, Ehud Barak a statesman, has never been titled the assassin of Beirut.

With the exception of perhaps three articles written from a pro-Palestinian point of view in the Los Angeles Times, and two in the New York Times, all the articles of the US periodicals have been in support of Israel, the US-sponsored peace process, and the idea that Palestinian violence, Arafat's lack of cooperation, and Islamic fundamentalism are to blame. The writers have been former US military as well as civilian officials, Israeli apologists and officials, think tank specialists and experts, officials of pro-Israeli lobbies and organizations. In other words, the total blanketing of the mainstream has taken place on the assumption that no Palestinian or Arab or Islamic position on such matters as Israeli terror tactics against civilians, settler-colonialism, or military occupation exists at all, or is worth hearing from. This is simply without precedent in the history of US journalism, and is a direct reflection of a Zionist mind-set that makes Israel the norm in human behavior , thereby excluding from equal consideration the existence of 300 million Arabs and 1.2 billion Muslims. In the long run this is of course a suicidal position for Zionists to be in, but such is the arrogance of power that the thought seems not to have occurred to anyone.

The mind-set is truly staggering in its recklessness and, were it not very much a practical as well as actual distortion of reality, one could quite easily be talking about a form of private mental madness. But it corresponds very closely to the official Israeli policy of dealing with Palestinians not as a people with a history of dispossession for which in large measure Israel is directly responsible, but as a periodic nuisance for whom force, and neither understanding nor full accommodation, is the only possible response. Everything else is literally unthinkable. This astonishing blindness is compounded in the United States since Arabs and Muslims are scarcely paid attention to except as the butt of every aspiring politician.

Zionism requires that any criticism of what Israel does is simply intolerable. And this is despite the fact that the entire world has criticized Israel's U.S. backed policies of military occupation, disproportionate violence, and the siege of the Palestinians.

In America you must refrain from any criticism, otherwise you are hounded as an anti-Semite requiring the severest disgrace.

The further peculiarity of American Zionism, is that it is impermissible to speak of Jewish violence, or Jewish actions when it comes to Israel, even though everything done by Israel is done in the name of the Jewish people, for and by a Jewish state. That such a state is a misnomer, since almost 20 per cent of the population is not Jewish, is never mentioned and this too accounts for the amazing, entirely deliberate discrepancy between what the media calls "Israeli Arabs" and "the Palestinians:" No reader or viewer could possibly know that they are the same people in fact divided by the U.S. based Zionist policy, or that both communities represent the result of Israeli policy ,apartheid in one case, military occupation and ethnic cleansing in the other.

American Zionism has made any serious public discussion of Israel its past and its future, a taboo not be broken in any circumstance. To call this literally the last taboo in American discourse is by no means an exaggeration.

The American flag can be burned in public, whereas the systematic continuity of Israel's 52-year-old treatment of the Palestinians is virtually unimaginable, a narrative with no permission to appear.

This consensus might be somehow tolerable, were it not for the fact that it makes the continuing punishment and dehumanization of the Palestinian people an actual virtue. There is simply no people in the world today whose killing on television screens seems to be considered by most American viewers to be acceptable, as well-deserved punishment. This is the case with Palestinians whose daily loss of life in the past month is herded under the rubric "the violence on both sides," as if the stones of young men, thoroughly tired of injustice and repression, were a major offence rather than the courageous resistance to a demeaning fate meted out to them not just by Israeli soldiers armed by America, but by a peace process designed to restrict and shut them up.

That the US supporters of Israel could have plotted for seven years to produce a document designed essentially to cage people like captives in a refuge or prison -- that is the real crime. And that this could be passed off as peace instead of the desolation that it really has been all along, that surpasses one's powers to understand or adequately describe as anything less than unrestricted immorality. The worst thing of all is that so iron-like is the wall protecting American discourse about Israel that no questions can be put to the minds that produced OSLO and that for seven years have been passing off their scheme to the world as peace. One scarcely knows which is more pernicious, the mentality that thinks of Palestinians as not entitled even to express a sense of injustice or the one that continues to plot their further enslavement.

 American Zionism, the real problem (I)

Monday 6 October 2003

The following article is by Edward Saeed, the leading Palestinian intellectual and, university professor of English and comparative literature of Columbia University.

The role of organized Zionist groups and their activities in the United States has not been sufficiently addressed during the period of the so- called "peace process."

It is necessary to know how US policy is in effect dominated, if not completely controlled, by a small minority of people whose views about Middle East peace are in some way more extreme than even those of the Israeli Likud.

Every Israeli will readily admit and knows perfectly well that all of Israel was once and still is Palestine, that every Israeli town or village once had an Arab name. American Zionist discourse is never straight out honest that way. For the American Zionist, these are mostly fantasies, or myths, not realities, and therefore, Arabs are not real beings for them, but fantasies of nearly everything that can be demonized and despised, terrorism and anti-Semitism most specially. Many of the most zealous far-right settlers sitting on Palestinian land, remorselessly speaking about "the land of Israel" as being theirs, hating and ignoring the Palestinian owners and residents all round them, are also American-born. To see them walking through the streets of Hebron as if the Arab city was entirely theirs is a frightening sight, aggravated by the defiance and contempt they display openly against the Arab majority.

When after the Persian Gulf War the PLO made the strategic decision to work with the American government and if possible with the powerful lobby that controls discussion of Middle Eastern politics, they had made the decision on the basis of vast ignorance and quite extraordinarily mistaken assumptions.

There were objective reasons for such a view at the time, as there are now, as to why continuing the fight. But it is believed that it was a mistaken policy simply to throw Palestinian policy into the lap of the US and, since the major Zionist organizations are so influential everywhere in the United States, into their lap as well.

The former State Department official Henry Pracht sometime ago noted that the staggering unanimity of opinion in all sectors of the American media, from film, to television, radio, newspapers, weeklies, monthlies, quarterlies and dailies: everyone more or less toes the official Israeli line, which has also become the official American line. This is the coincidence that the American Zionism has achieved in the years since 1967, and which it has exploited in most public discourse about the Middle East. Thus US policy equals Israeli policy, except on the very rare occasions where Israel oversteps the limit and assumes that it has a right to help itself to what it wishes.

Rabbi Arthur Hertzberg, a respected American liberal cleric, once said that Zionism was the secular religion of the American Jewish community. This is supported visibly by various American organizations whose role is to police the public realm for infractions, even as many other Jewish organizations run hospitals, museums, research institutes for the good of the whole country. The real fact is that Zionist discourse is a discourse of power, and Arabs in that discourse are the objects of power, and the only possible political strategy for the US so far as Arab and Palestinian policy are concerned is neither an agreement with the Zionists here nor one with US policy, but a mobilized mass campaign directed at the American population on behalf of Palestinian human, civil and political rights. All other arrangements, whether Oslo or Camp David, are doomed to failure because, the official discourse is totally dominated by Zionism and, except for a few individual exceptions, there are no alternatives to it. Therefore all peace arrangements undertaken on the basis of an alliance with the US are alliances that confirm rather than confront Zionist power.

To submit passively to a Zionist-controlled Middle East policy, as some Arabs have done for almost a generation now, will neither bring stability at home nor equality and justice in the US.

Yet the irony is that inside the US there exists a vast body of opinion ready to be critical both of Israel and of US foreign policy.

In any case, any alliance or compromise with Israel in the present circumstances, where US policy is totally dominated by American Zionism, is doomed to roughly the same results for Arabs generally and Palestinians in particular. That is to say Israel will dominate, and Israeli systemic injustice will be prolonged. Unless American Zionism is taken on and made to change which is of course not a very difficult task, the results will be the same: despair and discrediting for all Arabs and Palestinians.

The Zionist Plexus Based in America  

Pentagon Office Home to Neo-Con Network

Monday 22 September 2003

The following article is by Jim Lobe, a political analyst for Foreign Policy In Focus online and a columnist of Inter Press Service News Agency.

An ad hoc office under US Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Douglas Feith appears to have acted as the key base for an informal network of mostly neo-conservative political appointees that circumvented normal inter-agency channels to lead the push for war against Iraq.

The Office of Special Plans OSP, which worked alongside the Near East and South Asia NESA, bureau in the domain of the US Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Douglas Feith, was originally created by US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and Deputy Secretary Paul Wolfowitz to review raw information collected by the official US intelligence agencies for connections between Iraqi President Saddam Hussein and Al-Qaeda network.

But according to a US retired Lieutenant Colonel, Karen Kwiatkowski, who was assigned to the Near East and South Asia bureau in the Pentagon from May 2002 through February 2003, key personnel who worked in both NESA and OSP were part of a broader network of neo-conservative ideologues and activists who worked with other US Presidents. George W Bush political appointees scattered around the national-security bureaucracy to move the country to war.

According to US retired Lieutenant Colonel, Karen Kwiatkowski, other appointees who worked with the head of NESA Deputy Undersecretary William Luti and OSP chairman Abram Shulsky in both offices included Michael Rubin, a Middle East specialist previously with the neo-conservative American Enterprise Institute; David Schenker, previously with the Washington Institute for Near East Policy; Michael Makovsky; an expert on neo-conservative icon Winston Churchill and the younger brother of David Makovsky, a senior Washington Institute for Near East Policy fellow and former executive editor of pro-Likud Daily 'Jerusalem Post'; and Chris Lehman, the brother of John Lehman, a prominent neo-conservative who served as secretary of the navy under the then US President Ronald Reagan.

Along with US Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Douglas Feith, all of the political appointees have, in common, a close identification with the views of the right-wing Likud Party in Israel.

Feith, whose law partner is a spokesman for the settlement movement in the Zionist entity of Israel, has long been a fierce opponent of the Oslo peace process, while the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, WINEP has acted as the think tank for the most powerful pro-Israel lobby in Washington that is “the American Israel Public Affairs Committee” better known as ‘AIPAC’, which generally follows a Likud line.

William Luti, a retired naval officer and Defense Deputy Undersecretary, another board member also based at AEI, and Newt Gingrich former Republican Speaker of the House of Representatives are in the same school.

It is worth knowing that, William Luti hired Retired Colonel William Bruner, a former Gingrich staffer, and Chris Straub, a retired lieutenant colonel, anti-abortion activist, and former staffer on the Senate Intelligence Committee.

Also working for Luti was another naval officer, Yousef Aboul-Enein, whose main job was to scrutinize over Arabic-language newspapers and CIA transcripts of radio broadcasts to find evidence of ties between al-Qaeda and Iraqi ousted ruler Saddam Hussein that may have been overlooked by the intelligence agencies, and a Defense Intelligence Agency officer named John Trigilio.

The U.S retired Lieutenant Colonel, Karen Kwiatkowski , who was assigned to the Near East and South Asia NESA, bureau in the Pentagon from May 2002 through February 2003, also added that through Feith, the offices fed information directly and indirectly to sympathetic media outlets, including the Rupert Murdoch-owned “Weekly Standard” and “FoxNews Network”, as well as the editorial pages of the “Wall Street Journal” and syndicated columnists, such as Charles Krauthammer.

According to Kwiatkowski, in inter-agency discussions, Feith and the two offices communicated almost exclusively with like-minded allies in other agencies, rather than with their official counterparts, including even the DIA in the Pentagon. Rather than working with the State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research, its Near Eastern Affairs bureau, or even its Iraq desk, for example, they preferred to work through Undersecretary of State for Arms Control and International Security and former AEI executive vice president John Bolton.

At the US National Security Council, the two offices of the Office of Special Plans, OSP, which worked alongside the Near East and South Asia, NESA communicated mainly with Stephen Hadley, the deputy national security adviser, until Elliott Abrams, a neo-conservative with close ties to Feith and Perle, was appointed last December as the NSC's top Middle East aide.

Kwiatkowski said there are confirmed published reports that Office of Special Plans OSP worked with a similar ad hoc group in the Zionist entity of Israel’s Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's office.

She recounts one incident in which she helped escort a group of half a dozen Israeli Zionists, including several generals, from the first floor reception area to the office of US Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Douglas Feith. The retired Lieutenant Colonel, Karen Kwiatkowski, who was assigned to the Near East and South Asia bureau in the Pentagon from May 2002 through February 2003 said that she and other US officers just followed the Zionist generals, because the generals knew exactly where they were going and moving fast. 

When the group arrived, Kwiatkowski, noted the book which all visitors are required to sign under special regulations that took effect after the September 11, 2001 attacks. He asked the official in charge that if the Israelis are needed to sign in. She received the answer: “No, these guys don't have to sign in”. It occurred to her, that the US Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Douglas Feith's office may have deliberately not wanted to maintain a record of the meeting.

US retired Lieutenant Colonel, Karen Kwiatkowski, who was assigned to the Near East and South Asia or NESA bureau in the Pentagon from May 2002 through February 2003, also, added that The Office of Special Plans, which worked alongside the Near East and South Asia were already discussing the possibility of 'going after Iran and interfering in the country’s internal affairs' after the war in Iraq last January and that articles by Michael Ledeen were given much attention in the two offices. Ledeen is another American Enterprise Institute fellow and an associate of Richard Perle, a member of the Defense Policy Board, who has been calling for the US to work for their dream of 'regime change' in Tehran since late 2001,

Michael Ledeen and Morris Amitay, a former head of the most powerful pro-Israel lobby in Washington that is “the American Israel Public Affairs Committee” better known as ‘AIPAC’, which generally follows Israeli Likud line, recently created the Coalition for their so-called Democracy in Iran to lobby for a more aggressive policy there.

The Zionist Plexus Based in America

The Washington Institute for Near East Policy (WINEP) is one of the most influential branches of the Zionist network in the United States, which almost exclusively plays the role of guiding the US government’s Middle East policy. At the same time this institute organizes most news media channels in connection with the Middle East and the Zionist regime issues.

The following article is by Joel Beinin, the American Stanford University lecturer which was published in the French Le Monde Diplomatique magazine.

The Washington Institute for Near East Policy (WINEP) was established in 1985, and soon became the most influential think tank with effects on the US government's Middle East policy and US mass media reporting about the region. The institute's founding director, Martin Indyk, was previously research director of the leading pro-Israel lobby, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (Aipac). While Aipac targets Congress through the massive election campaign contributions that it coordinates and directs, Winep concentrates on influencing the media and the executive branch.

For this purpose it offers weekly lunches with guest speakers, written policy briefs, and "expert" guests for radio and television talk shows. Its director for policy and planning, Robert Satloff, its deputy director, Patrick Clawson, its senior fellow, Michael Eisenstadt, and other associates appear regularly on radio and television. Winep views prevail in two weekly news magazines, US News and World Report and The New Republic.

Winep has close links with both leading Democrats and Republicans. Its first major success was the publication of the report Building for Peace: An American Strategy for the Middle East on the eve of the 1988 presidential elections. The report urged the incoming administration to "resist pressures for a procedural breakthrough [on Palestinian-Israeli peace issues] until conditions have become ripen". Six members of the study group that produced the report joined the administration of President Bush Sr., which adopted this recipe: not to change until change was unavoidable. So the US acceded to Israel's refusal to negotiate directly with the Palestine Liberation Organization during and after the 1991 Madrid conference despite the PLO's recognition of Israel at the November 1988 session of the Palestine National Council.  

The Clinton administration continued this policy. As a result, from 1991 to 1993, 11 rounds of US-sponsored negotiations between Israel and "non-PLO" Palestinians produced no result. When Israel became serious about negotiating with the Palestinians it met official PLO representatives in Oslo, behind the back of the Clinton administration. These talks resulted in the September 1993 Israeli-Palestinian declaration of principles.

During the 1990s it seemed that the end of the cold war might diminish the strategic value of the US-Israel alliance. Winep and its associates strove to maintain the US-Israeli relationship as the principal factor in the US Middle East policy by promoting Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin's view that Israel was a reliable US ally against Islam.

Winep's 1992 symposium focused on whether Islam was a danger to the US. Martin Indyk argued that the US ought not to encourage democracy in countries that were friendly to Washington, like Jordan and Egypt, and that political participation should be limited to secular parties.

The Clinton administration was even more thoroughly colonized by Winep affiliates than its predecessor. Eleven signatories of the final report of Winep's 1992 commission on US- Israeli relations, Enduring Partnership, joined the Clinton administration. Among them were National Security Adviser Anthony Lake; the UN ambassador and later Secretary of State, Madeleine Albright; the Undersecretary of Commerce, Stuart Eizenstat; and the Secretary of Defence, the late Les Aspin.  

In 1993 the Clinton administration announced a policy of "dual containment" directed against Iran and Iraq. This was the practical, although not the ideological, fore-runner of President Bush Jr's "axis of evil" policy. The principal formulator and spokesperson for dual containment was Martin Indyk, in his new role as special assistant to the president and senior director for Near East and South Asian affairs at the National Security Council. As Indyk had been raised and educated in Australia, he had to be quickly naturalized as a US citizen in order to join the Clinton administration. Later he served as US ambassador to Israel, assistant secretary of state for Near Eastern affairs, and then did a second tour as ambassador to Israel. In all these positions Indyk was a significant player in the Oslo "peace process".

Dennis Ross is another Winep figure with major responsibility for Oslo. He was a key aide to Secretary of State James Baker in formulating Middle East policy during the Bush Sr. administration, and then became President Clinton's special coordinator for the peace process. After retiring from government service Ross became the director of Winep.

Until the current Bush administration and the terrorist attacks of  September 11, 2001, Winep tended to embrace positions identified with Israel's Labor Party and the "moderate" retired Israeli generals of the Jaffee center for strategic studies at Tel Aviv University. Crude right-wingers like Martin Kramer and Daniel Pipes were rarely featured. But Bush Jr brought to Washington a clique of Middle East policy makers linked to Israel's Likud Party and to neo-conservative, hawkish think tanks like the American Enterprise Institute, the Project for a New American Century, the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (Jinsa), and the Center for Security Policy (CSP).

Vice President Dick Cheney, Undersecretary of State for arms control and international security John Bolton, and Undersecretary of Defense for policy Douglas Feith were all on Jinsa's board of advisers before they entered the Bush administration: in all, 22 CSP associates secured positions in the Bush national security apparatus.

Winep had limited but significant connections to this circle before they assumed office. Richard Perle, the ideological father of the war against Iraq and until recently chair of the Defense Policy Board, was a member of the Jinsa board and also the Winep advisory board. His superior at the Pentagon, Deputy Secretary of Defense and fellow ultra-hawk Paul Wolfowitz, also sat on the Winep advisory board until he joined the Bush administration.

Winep has enhanced its credibility with the Bush administration by recently adding figures with solid neo-conservative credentials to its staff. Jonathan Schanzer, previously a research fellow at the Middle East Forum, is now a fellow at Winep. The director of the Middle East Forum is Daniel Pipes, one of the loudest anti-Arab and anti-Muslim voices in the US. Pipes is now a Winep adjunct scholar. Max Abrahms, a Soref fellow specializing in Israeli security affairs, has been a columnist for National Review Online, a devoutly neo-conservative organ. Matthew Levitt, a senior fellow in terrorism studies and a former FBI analyst, also writes in the National Review Online, where he publicly supports counter-terrorism operations.

A Winep adjunct scholar, Joshua Muravchik, simultaneously works for the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), Richard Perle's home base. Michael Ledeen, holder of the AEI's Freedom Chair, has formulated a doctrine that captures that institution's ideological orientation: "Every 10 years or so, the US needs to pick up some small crappy little country and throw it against the wall, just to show the world we mean business".

Winep's opposition to the "road map" for Palestinian-Israeli peace clearly shows its conversion to Likud-style thinking. Robert Satloff objected to the road map on the grounds that it is based on "sham, even indecent, parallelism between Palestinian and Israeli behavior". Muravchik endorsed Satloff's views as "the most penetrating analysis" of the road map's flaws.

Winep's criticism of the road map appears to put it at odds with the Bush administration. But this is deceptive. Few experienced observers believe that the road map will succeed. Winep's characterization of the plan as too pro-Arab helps to lay the groundwork for blaming the Palestinians when it fails, just as President Clinton blamed Yasser Arafat for the failure of the July 2000 Camp David Summit.

Reform by Imprisonment

While the most brutal of measures are being taken against the Palestinian population, the world is being deceived into believing that political progress can happen in the Israeli-occupied territories of the West Bank, Gaza Strip and East Beitolmoghaddas. Israel is pursuing a violent strategy of establishing internment camps that imprison Palestinians from all walks of life. With over 12,000 acts of detainment and over 5,000 Palestinian detainees now languishing in Israeli jails, the façade of political progress is in a political vacuum.

Political progress offered by a one-party, one-leader, one-decision-maker system are doomed to failure. The U.S., of all nations, should be demanding comprehensive political progress by which Israel releases all Palestinian political prisoners so they can participate in this historic turning point in the Palestinian struggle for independence.

With every Palestinian arrested by Israel, entire families are being broken up, children are building up hatred and detainees are becoming more embittered. Why is the world community silent while Israel illegally detains Palestinians as political prisoners and uses them as political bargaining chips? Where is the Jewish tradition of support for human and civil rights when Palestinians are being tortured in Israeli jails? Is the world blind to the fact that the Middle East will never realize peace if Palestinians continue to be denied their basic inalienable rights? Does President Bush or any average Israeli citizen believe that the sons and daughters of those thousands of Palestinians that are detained will one day forget the turmoil caused when their loved ones are thrown behind bars for months or even years on end?

The fact that Palestinians are illegally detained by Israel, a foreign occupying force, is not new. In addition to the approximately 5,000 Palestinians who have been detained over the past two years and are still being held by Israel today, let us not forget that other Palestinians have been rotting away in Israeli jails since 1967.

The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights  prohibits torture and cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment, without exception. Furthermore, Israel's treatment of Palestinian detainees does not meet the United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners, the Body of Principles for the Protection of All Persons Under Any Form of Detention or Imprisonment, and the Basic Principles for the Treatment of Prisoners. These instruments are binding on Israel to the extent that the norms set out in them explicate the broader standards contained in human rights treaties. Instead of applying laws of the community of nations, Israel does not hide its historic and systematic policy of torturing Palestinian prisoners. Recently the issue of torture has even become an agenda item that is openly discussed in the Israeli Knesset.

In November 2001, the UN Committee Against Torture reminded Israel that there can be no justification for torture under any circumstances. Torture is a grave breach of the Fourth Geneva Convention. Moreover, the Fourth Geneva Convention clearly prohibits the transfer of Palestinian detainees from the Occupied Palestinian Territories to Israel. Article 76 states that 'Protected persons accused of offences shall be detained in the occupied country, and if convicted they shall serve their sentences therein.' It is a known fact that Palestinians are taken to prisons throughout Israel proper, far from their families and in violation of international law.

Palestinian detainees who have suffered torture must be entitled to full and timely reparation, including compensation and rehabilitation. The thousands that are currently behind bars only because they stand for the end to occupation must be immediately released and be allowed to rejoin their families and be reintegrated into the social and political life of the emerging State of Palestine.

Those who believe that "progress", and more importantly, only themselves and are missing a historic opportunity to political reconciliation between Palestinians and Israelis, has any future if it does not include all sectors of society, regardless of color or political affiliation, are merely fooling  themselves. It is bad enough that many Palestinian political leaders have been extra-judicially assassinated by Israel over the past  years.

Now is the time to open the prison doors, end the occupation and allow Palestine to rebuild itself from the ruins of occupation, again!

The Israelization of American Policy      

America has adopted Israel's mistaken strategy in the Middle East. Will it take America  as long as Israel to realize that starting a war is nothing like finishing it, and that military occupation does not bring about peace or security?

America, like Israel, is getting increasingly bogged down by an open-ended military occupation, as attacks on its troops continue almost daily in Iraq. The situation has been made worse by America's break-up of state institutions such as the army, rendering millions of Iraqis unemployed.

Powerful but vulnerable, America and Israel seem to bring out the worst in each other. Since the September 11 attacks, Washington has internalized Israel's psychotic view of a world full of hatred and terrorism.

President George W Bush is walking down Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's path as he uses the dramatic events of the past two years to whip up a new theological patriotism to strengthen his governing base and confront those who "hate   American Governors for what they are."

Neither Israel nor America is bothering to ask why the Palestinians and Muslims of the Middle East are carrying out martyrdom seeking attacks. Have Israeli military occupation and American military domination transformed Middle East killing fields into fertile ground for hatred and conflict.

Instead of extracting the source of tension, Washington has added another occupation to the Israeli occupation. Like psychotic firemen, US officials are implementing Sharon's war philosophy of putting out fire with fire.

Israelizing America's war on terrorism means globalizing Sharon's warfare: that includes unprovoked military invasions, covert operations, armed interventions, disproportionate retaliations, extra-judicial assassinations and other measures long considered war crimes and crimes against humanity.

These measures have also proved ineffective. Israel has grown less secure despite its continuous use of force to resolve political disputes.

Today, America risks internalizing the way it fights and those it fights against. 

Unfortunately, instead of learning from Israel's strategic mistakes, Bush advises the Palestinians to learn from the lesson of Iraq.

If America continues to Israelize its foreign policy, it will globalize the kind of conflict found in Palestine, with grave consequences not only abroad, but also at home in America.

Just as there is a diplomatic alternative to Israel's failed policies in Palestine - based on international legality and sustained development, rather than the imbalance of power and exploitation - a better alternative must be found to America's unilateral and muscular foreign policy.  Attaining national security in a transnational world means accepting and respecting interdependence. Once security is understood as a universal right, interdependence becomes a sign of wisdom, not weakness.   

If America must draw on another tradition, why not look to the long history of Jewish tolerance and survival, - or to America's own constitutional tradition? It is time to dust off those great documents sitting on the White House shelves.
