| Subj: Gathering of ISRAEL FIRSTERS!! Date: 2/2/03 7:34:54 PM Pacific Standard Time The most important gathering of 2003 for Christians who support Israel Come join us in our nation's capitol to meet key decision makers, other Christian leaders and learn how to build a force for Israel in your community. Dear Friend of Israel: The Stand for Israel campaign is proud to announce its first annual Washington Briefing, scheduled for April 2nd and 3rd in Washington DC. This gathering will be attended by influential Christian leaders and pastors who will come together to discuss issues facing the security of Israel and recognize the leadership of Majority Leader Tom DeLay and Congressman Tom Lantos in standing up for Israel. In the next few days, we will be contacting you with information on how to reserve your place at the Stand for Israel Washington Briefing. Joining our conference in DC will provide you the opportunity to enjoy the fellowship of national Christian leaders, congressmen, senators, Bush Administration officials and Israeli representatives in an intimate setting where you'll learn first-hand what is being done, both in the U.S. and abroad, to defend the Israeli nation. Invited speakers include former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani, House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, Congressman Tom Lantos, Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Daniel Ayalon, Israeli Foreign Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Undersecretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz, Elliott Abrams of the National Security Council, Pastor John Hagee and many others. You'll also gain specific tools and ideas for taking action when you go home. This is the most important event of the year for supporters of Israel and you won't want to miss it! The Washington Briefing includes an Israel Policy Briefing in the afternoon, Congressional Reception, and "Friend of Israel" Awards Banquet in the evening. The recipients for this year's inaugural event are House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (who is a radical evangelical Christian Zionist and is all for a greater Israel) and California Congressman Tom Lantos (who is a Zionist Jew who promised that an attack on Iraq would be coming soon as he has basically hijacked the House Foreign Relations Committee along with his Zionist cronies who are all driving us to war in Iraq). The following morning we will hold a seminar on how to build grassroots support for Israel in your community. It is our sincere hope that you will take advantage of this unique opportunity. We look forward to seeing you at the Washington Briefing. Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein (who is obviously a Zionist Jew), Ralph Reed (who is a radical evangelical Christian Zionist Republican like Delay above who is in cahoots with the Israelis for a greater Israel and is all for an invasion of Iraq because of such) President and Founder, Co-Chairman International Fellowship of Christians and Jews Stand for Israel Greatest Threat to America's Sovereignty and Security for Her Citizens Worldwide: Subj: Re: Did Israel deliberately allow 241 American Marines to die? Date: 2/2/03 9:17:35 PM Pacific Standard Time The USS Cole and the World Trade Center attacks most likely would not have taken place if it were not for our biased support of Israel (with the BILLIONS of US taxpayer dollars that flow to the rogue state each year via a pro-Israel lobby-corrupted and Zionist-occupied US government as such vast financial aid facilitates Israel's brutal oppression of the Palestinian people which contributes to the growing anger and resentment against US in the Arab/Moslem world that contributed to the motivation for the tragic 9/11 attack with even more tragic terror most likely coming our way unless we cut the aid to Israel ASAP and do not invade Iraq as well, but the Israel firsters that have hijacked our beautiful country's government do not tell you this): WHY TERRORIST ATTACKS ARE NOT INEVITABLE: http://www.warwithoutend.co.uk/middle-east-and-asia/2002/11/26/why-terrorist-attacks-are-not-inevitable.php Please read the "Passionate Attachment for Israel" article by B. General James David which is posted on the first page of the following URL: Did Israel deliberately allow 241 American Marines to die?: http://www.warwithoutend.co.uk/middle-east-and-asia/2003/02/02/did-israel-deliberately-allow-241-american-marines-to-die.php At this point in time, I would go as far as saying that Israel knew about the World Trade Center attack (just like it did with the Lebanon bombing of the US Marines according to the former Mossad agent Victor O.) and did not convey the full extent of such to US beforehand (by the way, Zionist "Nano" on this email list easily dismisses the "dancing" Israeli Mossad agents as having "nothing to do" with 9/11 but also hasn't explained exactly what they were doing celebrating with each other as they videotaped each other with the World Trade Center burning in the background as you can read more about such via www.whatreallyhappened.com). When we listen to Zionists like "Nano" with their Israel first mindset, keep in mind how Zionists in Israel lied to us for many years about Jonathan Pollard not being a spy for Israel, and sure enough they finally admitted that he indeed was when it was too ridiculous for them to lie about it any longer.. If you want to read about the "dancing" Israeli Mossad agents mentioned above, take a look at the Jewish "Forward" magazine (from New York) in the March 15th, 2001 issue... With the JINSA Zionist extremist Wolfowitz/Perle/Cheney cabal (that has hijacked the Bush regime and is driving US to war on Islam in the Middle East for Israel and oil), I would venture to say that anything might just be possible with these radical Israel Firsters (and their Likud cronies in Israel like Netanyahu as you can read what is included below to see what I mean). They have been put wanting to put their radical JINSA (Jewish Institute of National Security Affairs) agenda into play for years (as the tragic World Trade Center attack has given them their "window of opportunity" to do so which makes me very suspicious of them especially when they wanted to invade Iraq six days after 9/11 took place, but Powell would not have it).

JINSA Zionist (Extremist) Perle/Wolfowitz/Cheney Cabal in Bush Regime Pushing Hard for Iraq Invasion: http://www.independent.co.uk/story.jsp?story=332011 Bush is intent on painting allies and enemies in the Middle East as evil By Robert Fisk 10 September 2002 Just as Americans are recovering from the harrowing television re-runs of the 11 September attacks, their President is going to launch the biggest reshaping of the Middle East since the British and French parcelled out the Arab lands after the 1914-18 war. When he addresses the United Nations on Thursday, George Bush will be threatening not only Iraq which had absolutely nothing to do with the crimes against humanity in New York and Washington but Syria, Iran and, by extension, Saudi Arabia and Egypt.The Syrian Accountability Act, which accuses Damascus of supporting "terrorism", will come into force as President Bush is speaking and will follow only days after the State Department branded the Lebanese Hizbollah as the "A-team of terrorism", more dangerous even than Osama bin Laden's al-Qa'ida. Like Iraq, the Hizbollah had nothing to do with the 11 September attacks indeed, they were among the first to condemn them but the White House now seems set on painting allies and enemies alike in the Middle East as a focus of evil.Only The Nation among all of America's newspapers and magazines has dared to point out that a large number of former Israeli lobbyists are now working within the American administration and the Bush plans for the Middle East which could cause a massive political upheaval in the Arab world fit perfectly into Israel's own dreams for the region. The magazine listed Vice-President Dick Cheney the arch-hawk in the US administration and John Bolton, now under-secretary of state for Arms Control, with Douglas Feith, the third most senior executive at the Pentagon, as members of the advisory board of the pro-Israeli Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (Jinsa) before joining the Bush government. Richard Perle, chairman of the Pentagon's Defence Policy Board, is still an adviser on the institute, as is the former CIA director James Woolsey.Michael Ledeen, described by The Nation as "one of the most influential 'Jinsans' in Washington" has been calling for "total war" against "terror" with "regime change" for Syria, Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and the Palestinian Authority. Mr Perle advises the Defence Secretary, Donald Rumsfeld who refers to the West Bank and Gaza as "the so-called occupied territories" and arranged the anti-Saudi "kernel of evil" briefing by Laurent Murawiec that so outraged the Saudi royal family last month. The Saudi regime may itself be in great danger as the princes of the House of Saud attempt to seize more power for themselves in advance of the depart-ure of the dying King Fahd.Jinsa's website says it exists to "inform the American defence and foreign affairs community about the important role Israel can and does play in bolstering democratic interests in the Mediterranean and the Middle East". Next month, Michael Rubin of the right-wing and pro-Israeli American Enterprise Institute who referred to the outgoing UN human rights commissioner Mary Robinson as an abettor of "terrorism" joins the US Defence Department as an Iran-Iraq "expert".According to The Nation, Irving Moskovitz, the California bingo magnate who has funded settlements in the Israeli-occupied territories, is a donor as well as a director of Jinsa.President Bush, of course, will not be talking about the influence of these pro-Israeli lobbyists when he presents his vision of the Middle East at the United Nations on Thursday.Nor will he give the slightest indication that the region is, in the words of its own kings and dictators, a powder keg of resentment and anger. The tectonic plates of the Arab world are now grinding with increasing violence. Into this political earthquake zone, Mr Bush now seems intent on leading his country, with his loyal British ally.Most of today's Arab nations were fashioned out of the ruins of the Ottoman Empire by Britain and France in the aftermath of the First World War and Palestinians still blame Britain today for supporting the formation of a Jewish homeland in Palestine.Both European nations stationed tens of thousands of troops across the region, suppressing Arab revolts in Palestine, Syria and Lebanon itself created by the French at the request of its Christian Maronite community. The whole colonial framework led to the loss of tens of thousands of lives before both the British and French retreated from the Middle East.Now President Bush seems set on following the colonial powers into the region for another military and political adventure ostensibly to spread "democracy" among those nations it most despises (Iraq, Palestine and Iran) but in fact more likely to increase American control of an increasingly anti-Western Arab world.The Arabs themselves warn that this will lead to massive instability and widespread violence. The Israelis and their allies in the US administration are hell bent on the whole shebang. Here is that "Men from JINSA and CSP" article which Fisk mentions in the above referenced article: This article can be found on the web at: http://www.thenation.com/doc.mhtml?i=20020902&s=vest&c=1 The Men From JINSA and CSP by JASON VEST [from the September 2, 2002 issue of "The Nation" magazine in the USA] JINSA Zionist planned Iraq 'regime change' before Bush Presidency: http://www.warwithoutend.co.uk/middle-east-and-asia/2002/12/31/bush-planned-iraq-regime-change-before-becoming-president.php In Iraqi War Scenario, Oil Is Key Issue: http://www.warwithoutend.co.uk/middle-east-and-asia/2002/09/15/in-iraqi-war-scenario-oil-is-key-issue.php Oil is obvious motive for war in Iraq: http://www.warwithoutend.co.uk/middle-east-and-asia/2002/11/17/oil-is-the-obvious-motive-for-us-interest-in-iraq.php Too Many Smoking Guns to Ignore: Israel, American Jews, and the War on Iraq by BILL and KATHLEEN CHRISTISON former CIA political analysts Most of the vociferously pro-Israeli neo-conservative policymakers in the Bush administration make no effort to hide the fact that at least part of their intention in promoting war against Iraq (and later perhaps against Syria, Iran, Hezbollah, and the Palestinians) is to guarantee Israel's security by eliminating its greatest military threats, forging a regional balance of power overwhelmingly in Israel's favor, and in general creating a more friendly atmosphere for Israel in the Middle East. Yet, despite the neo-cons' own openness, a great many of those on the left who oppose going to war with Iraq and oppose the neo-conservative doctrines of the Bush administration nonetheless utterly reject any suggestion that Israel is pushing the United States into war, or is cooperating with the U.S., or even hopes to benefit by such a war. Anyone who has the temerity to suggest any Israeli instigation of, or even involvement in, Bush administration war planning is inevitably labeled somewhere along the way as an anti-Semite. Just whisper the word "domination" anywhere in the vicinity of the word "Israel," as in "U.S.-Israeli domination of the Middle East" or "the U.S. drive to assure global domination and guarantee security for Israel," and some leftist who otherwise opposes going to war against Iraq will trot out charges of promoting the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, the old czarist forgery that asserted a Jewish plan for world domination......................................................click URL below for the rest http://www.counterpunch.com/christison01252003.html We're Going to War for Oil (and Radical Zionism): http://www.warwithoutend.co.uk/uk-and-europe/2003/01/24/we-re-going-for-oil-and-radical-zionism.php What's behind the relentless drive to war with Iraq: http://www.warwithoutend.co.uk/middle-east-and-asia/2003/01/25/what-s-behind-the-relentless-drive-to-war-with-iraq.php Robert Fisk: The wartime deceptions: Saddam is Hitler and it's not about oil: http://argument.independent.co.uk/commentators/story.jsp?story=373102 Robert Fisk: The wartime deceptions: Saddam is Hitler and it's not about oil 27 January 2003 The Israeli writer Uri Avnery once delivered a wickedly sharp open letter to Menachem Begin, the Israeli prime minister who sent his army to defeat in Lebanon. Enraged by Begin's constant evocation of the Second World War likening Yasser Arafat in Beirut to Hitler in his Berlin bunker in 1945 Avnery entitled his letter: "Mr Prime Minister, Hitler is Dead." How often I have wanted to repeat his advice to Bush and Blair. Obsessed with their own demonisation of Saddam Hussein, both are now reminding us of the price of appeasement. Bush thinks that he is the Churchill of America, refusing the appeasement of Saddam. Now the US ambassador to the European Union, Rockwell Schnabel, has compared Saddam to Hitler. "You had Hitler in Europe and no one really did anything about him," Schnabel lectured the Europeans in Brussels a week ago: "We knew he could be dangerous but nothing was done. The same type of person [is in Baghdad] and it's there that our concern lies." Mr Schnabel ended this infantile parallel by adding unconvincingly that "this has nothing to do with oil". How can the sane human being react to this pitiful stuff? One of the principal nations which "did nothing about Hitler" was the US, which enjoyed a profitable period of neutrality in 1939 and 1940 and most of 1941 until it was attacked by the Japanese at Pearl Harbor. And when the Churchill-Roosevelt alliance decided that it would only accept Germany's unconditional surrender a demand that shocked even Churchill when Roosevelt suddenly announced the terms at Casablanca Hitler was doomed. Not so Saddam it seems. For last week Donald Rumsfeld offered the Hitler of Baghdad a way out: exile, with a suitcase full of cash and an armful of family members if that is what he wished. Funny, but I don't recall Churchill or Roosevelt ever suggesting that the Nazi fόhrer should be allowed to escape. Saddam is Hitler but then suddenly, he's not Hitler after all. He is said TheNew York Times to be put before a war crimes tribunal. But then he's not. He can scoot off to Saudi Arabia or Latin America. In other words, he's not Hitler. But even if he were, are we prepared to pay the price of so promiscuous a war? Arabs who admire Saddam and there are plenty in Jordan believe Iraq cannot hold out for more than a week. Some are convinced the US 3rd Infantry Division will be in Baghdad in three days, the British with them. It's a fair bet that hundreds, if not thousands, of Iraqis will die. But in the civil unrest that follows, what are we going to do? Are American and British troops to defend the homes of Baath party officials whom the mobs want to hang? Far more seriously, what happens after that? What do we do when Iraqis not ex-Baathists but anti-Saddam Iraqis demand our withdrawal? For be sure this will happen. In the Shia mosques of Kerbala and An Najaf, they are not going to welcome Anglo-American forces. The Kurds will want a price for their co-operation. A state perhaps? A federation? The Sunnis will need our protection. They will also, in due time, demand our withdrawal. Iraq is a tough, violent state and General Tommy Franks is no General MacArthur. For we will be in occupation of a foreign land. We will be in occupation of Iraq as surely as Israel is in occupation of the West Bank and Gaza. And with Saddam gone, the way is open for Osama bin Laden to demand the liberation of Iraq as another of his objectives. How easily he will be able to slot Iraq into the fabric of American occupation across the Gulf. Are we then ready to fight al-Qa'ida in Iraq as well as in Afghanistan and Pakistan and countless other countries? It seems that the peoples of the Middle East and the West realise these dangers, but that their leaders do not, or do not want to. Travelling to the US more than once a month, visiting Britain at the weekend, moving around the Middle East, I have never been so struck by the absolute, unwavering determination of so many Arabs and Europeans and Americans to oppose a war. Did Tony Blair really need that gloriously pertinacious student at the Labour Party meeting on Friday to prove to him what so many Britons feel: that this proposed Iraqi war is a lie, that the reasons for this conflict have nothing to do with weapons of mass destruction, that Blair has no business following Bush into the America-Israeli war? Never before have I received so many readers' letters expressing exactly the same sentiment: that somehow because of Labour's huge majority, because of the Tory party's effective disappearance as an opposition, because of parliamentary cynicism British democracy is not permitting British people to stop a war for which most of them have nothing but contempt. From Washington's pathetic attempt to link Saddam to al-Qa'ida, to Blair's childish "dossier" on weapons of mass destruction, to the whole tragic farce of UN inspections, people are just no longer fooled. The denials that this war has anything to do with oil are as unconvincing as Colin Powell's claim last week that Iraq's oil would be held in trusteeship for the Iraqi people. Trusteeship was exactly what the League of Nations offered the Levant when it allowed Britain and France to adopt mandates in Palestine and Transjordan and Syria and Lebanon after the First World War. Who will run the oil wells and explore Iraqi oil reserves during this generous period of trusteeship? American companies, perhaps? No, people are not fooled. Take the inspectors. George Bush and Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld and now, alas, Colin Powell don't want to give the inspectors more time. Why not, for God's sake? Let's just go back to 12 September last year when Bush, wallowing in the nostalgia of the 11 September 2001 crimes against humanity, demanded that the UN act. It must send its inspectors back to Iraq. They must resume their work. They must complete their work. Bush, of course, was hoping that Iraq would refuse to let the inspectors return. Horrifically, Iraq welcomed the UN. Bush was waiting for the inspectors to find hidden weapons. Terrifyingly, they found none. They are still looking. And that is the last thing Bush wants. Bush said he was "sick and tired" of Saddam's trickery when what he meant was that he was sick and tired of waiting for the UN inspectors to find the weapons that will allow America to go to war. He who wanted so much to get the inspectors back to work now doesn't want them to work. "Time is running out," Bush said last week. He was talking about Saddam but he was actually referring to the UN inspectors, in fact to the whole UN institution so laboriously established after the Second World War by his own country. The only other nation pushing for war save for the ever-grateful Kuwait is Israel. Listen to the words of Zalman Shoval, Israeli Prime Minster Ariel Sharon's foreign affairs adviser, last week. Israel, he said, would "pay dearly" for a "long deferral" of an American strike on Iraq. "If the attack were to be postponed on political rather than military grounds," he said, "we will have every reason in Israel to fear that Saddam Hussein uses this delay to develop non-conventional weapons." As long as Saddam was not sidelined, it would be difficult to convince the Palestinian leadership that violence didn't pay and that it should be replaced by a new administration; Arafat would use such a delay "to intensify terrorist attacks". Note how the savage Israeli-Palestinian war can only according to the Shoval thesis be resolved if America invades Iraq; how terrorism cannot be ended in Israel until the US destroys Saddam. There can be no regime change for the Palestinians until there is regime change in Baghdad. By going along with the Bush drive to war, Blair is, indirectly, supporting Israel's occupation of the West Bank and Gaza (since Israel still claims to be fighting America's "war on terror" against Arafat). Does Blair believe Britons haven't grasped this? Does he think Britons are stupid? A quarter of the British Army is sent to fight in a war that 80 per cent of Britons oppose. How soon before we see real people power 500,000 protesters or more in London, Manchester and other cities to oppose this folly? Yes an essential part of any such argument Saddam is a cruel, ruthless dictator, not unlike the Dear Leader of North Korea, the nuclear megalomaniac with whom the Americans have been having "excellent" discussions but who doesn't have oil. How typical of Saddam to send Ali "Chemical" Majid the war criminal who gassed the Kurds of Halabja to tour Arab capitals last week, to sit with President Bashar Assad of Syria and President Emile Lahoud of Lebanon as if he never ordered the slaughter of women and children. But Bush and Blair said nothing about Majid's tour either so as not to offend the Arab leaders who met him or because the link between gas, war crimes and Washington's original support for Saddam is a sensitive issue. Instead, we are deluged with more threats from Washington about "states that sponsor terror". Western journalists play a leading role in this propaganda. Take Eric Schmitt in TheNew York Times a week ago. He wrote a story about America's decision to "confront countries that sponsor terrorism". And his sources? "Senior defence officials", "administration officials", "some American intelligence officials", "the officials", "officials", "military officials", "terrorist experts" and "defence officials". Why not just let the Pentagon write its own reports in TheNew York Times? But that is what is changing. More and more Americans aware that their President declined to serve his country in Vietnam realise that their newspapers are lying to them and acting as a conduit for the US government alone. More and more Britons are tired of being told to go to war by their newspapers and television stations and politicians. Indeed, I'd guess that far more Britons are represented today by the policies of President Chirac of France than Prime Minister Blair of Britain.

Not without irony they note that the most hawkish and bellicose government in living memory is filled with men who never saw battle themselves. Of the senior members of the US administration, Colin Powell, the secretary of state, is the single exception. | |  | | | ©2002-2009 WarWithoutEnd.co.uk |
