> Israel and the Nuclear Double-Standard

>
> This following article from a Lebanese newspaper deals

> possession of nuclear weapons. First, I will attempt to explain
> the reasons for the double-standard. Americans wouldn't even
> think of applying the same international standards to Israel
> that are applied to everyone one else, especially regarding
> nuclear weapons. Israel is generally regarded as such a good
> country (in contrast to the diabolical rogue states) that it
> would never do anything wrong. Moreover, for patriotic
> Americans, Israel is a friend of America's and ipso facto
> deserves special treatment. Essentially, then, nukes are
> regarded as perfectly safe in Israeli hands.
>
> Moreover (for the more guilt oriented gentiles), the Jews
> suffered so much during the past couple millennium and
> especially the Holocaust, the greatest atrocity in human
> history, that no one has the right to tell these historical
> victims how to act--especially members of those groups (i.e.,
> the rest of the world) which have caused them so much historical
> suffering. From the perspective that the Holocaust was the
> ultimate evil, any oppressive action that Israel has committed,
> or could possibly commit, is totally insignificant compared to
> the infinite evil of the Holocaust. Having suffered the
> ultimate evil, Israel can justifiably engage in any oppressive
> action to enhance its security, as it sees it. And because of
> Jewish suffering, no one has the even the right to criticize any
> Israeli oppressive action. As Frank Littell writes:: "An
> American gentile Christian, whose government was silently

> in the operation of the camps, has no ground on which to stand
> validly to criticize 'the Jews.'" [Franklin H. Littell, The
> Crucifixion of the Jews (New York: Harper and Row, 1975), p.
> 6] While no "respectable" American gentile would dare to
> question the political uses of the Holocaust to shield Israel
> from criticism, a number of Jewish Americans have made this
> obvious observation. For example, see: Peter Novick, "The

> Finally, for Americans who do not hold any of the aforementioned

Former Republican Congressman Pushed Out by Israel on "Middle East in Focus"

So isn't it concerning that the JINSA/CSP/PNAC Neocons who pushed for the invasion of Iraq are basically Israeli operatives as well... See the article which appears under the pictures at www.nowarforisrael.com

As former Republican Congressman Paul Findley so accurately mentions in the third edition of his "They Dare to Speak Out" book, it is our vast financial support for Israel's brutal oppression of the Palestinians which contributed to the motivation for the tragic 9/11 attack... Check out the article included below which shows just how much of a cozy relationship the pro-Israel (AIPAC) lobby has with some of our Congressional representatives (like Senator and Israeli lackey John McCain whose Father helped to cover up the treacherous Israeli attack on the USS Liberty which you can find out more about via www.ussliberty.com).

Please listen to KPFK tomorrow (Tuesday, September 23rd, 2003) at 8 PM on the west coast and at 11 PM on the east coast as Don Bustany will have former Republican Congressman Paul Findley on his "Middle East in Focus" program... Paul Findley was all for having balance with our Middle East policy regarding Israel and the Palestinians.. Then the pro-Israel (AIPAC) lobby swung into action and had him put out of office... He then wrote this excellent book titled "They Dare to Speak Out" (the following is the URL for the third edition which is available in bookstores such as Borders and via www.amazon.com as well) in which he mentions that the vast US financial support of Israel's brutal oppression of the Palestinians contributed to the motivation for the tragic 9/11 attack (I think Findley is also going to talk about this on "Middle East in Focus" with Don Bustany tomorrow night):

Lawmakers See Israel in Record Numbers
Visiting Congressmen Speak Out About Security Fence, Terrorism
By ELLI WOHLGELERNTER
FORWARD CORRESPONDENT
JERUSALEM - When members of Congress returned to their offices this week and were asked what they did on their summer vacation, a record number had a shared answer: I went to Israel.
House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, a Texas Republican, made headlines for a strongly pro-Israel speech he gave to the Knesset at the end of July. A bipartisan delegation of lawmakers led by Senator John McCain, an Arizona Republican, went in August as part of a fact-finding trip that also took them to Iraq. A group led by the Jewish Community Relations Council of New York included three New York congressmen, Eliot Engel, Gregory Meeks and Anthony Weiner. Two partisan trips were sponsored by the American Israel Education Foundation, the nonprofit educational arm of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, which pays out some $5,000 for each participant.
Aipac has been bringing congressional delegations for more than 20 years, but none larger than the 30 Democrats who came in early August, led by Rep. Steny Hoyer of Maryland, the House Democratic whip. That delegation was followed two weeks later by a Republican one, 19 representatives led by Tom Reynolds of New York and Eric Cantor of Virginia. All told, more than 100 members of Congress - almost one-fifth the total - have visited Israel this year.
The trips included a rigorous schedule of briefings with top Israeli and Palestinian government officials, from prime ministers Ariel Sharon and Mahmoud Abbas, also known as Abu Mazen, on down, as well as Knesset members from both coalition and opposition parties. Participants toured Jewish and Christian holy sites and visited important places of interest, such as the northern border with Lebanon and a Jewish Agency absorption center for Ethiopian immigrants.
Some critics charge that the congressional delegates get a skewed view of the political situation because they are being hosted by the conservative Aipac. The Tikkun Community, a left-wing group sponsored by Tikkun magazine, has urged its members via e-mail to contact Congress members who visited Israel in order to "present a different view of the Middle East conflict."
Wendy Singer, director of Aipac's Israel office, dismisses such charges. "The reputation of AIEF missions is so solid as being educational trips where members of Congress are exposed to all sides of the political spectrum," she said. "Our philosophy is to let the story of Israel tell itself, and it does. Therefore, the whole tone of the mission is educational and analytical, rather than lobbying-oriented."
Many members of Congress who came seemed reluctant to speak out on issues. Some, for example, were hesitant to say anything that did not conform to the policy of President Bush.
But some Republicans were willing to speak out on the controversial issue of the security fence, as well as on the State Department's reported plan to penalize Israel for building the barrier by deducting an equal amount from the $9 billion in loan guarantees.
McCain said he backed the idea of the fence, a position at odds with the Bush administration as well as Palestinians, who object to the barrier that they say cuts across farmlands and separates Palestinians from their communities. McCain also said he would oppose penalizing Israel for building the fence.
Many Democrats also spoke out. Hoyer said the fence makes sense for Israel and would promote peace. "The fence is a rational response to securing safety, and in my opinion - to the extent that it stops terrorist acts from occurring - it will further the peace process, because terrorist acts will inevitably undermine the peace process."
Rep. Dennis Cardoza, a California Democrat, said he supports the fence. "One of the things we have to do is decrease the violence, to find a way to rebuild the credibility," he said. "In places where the fence is up, around Gaza, you see less terrorist activity. The Israeli people deserve to have a sense of control over their destiny much greater than they do today, when people can walk across a field and commit a suicide bombing. We have a fence across many parts of our border."
Moreover, Cardoza said, "fences and walls can be torn down, when countries agree they can be torn down. Things can be renegotiated."
Many of Cardoza's fellow congressmen described their trips to Israel as eye-opening experiences that will help them make better decisions upon returning to Washington. "This is a trip that I have always wanted to take," said Rep. Jeff Miller, a Republican from Florida. "But as a member of the House Armed Services Committee, it is one that I felt was necessary to gain a better understanding of the geographical constraints and the current military situation."
Rep. Joe Wilson, a Republican from South Carolina, said he was learning the differences between Hezbollah, Hamas and Islamic Jihad, and the distinction within Hamas between the group's terrorist wing and its charitable wing.
"What in particular was interesting to me to find out was that the Palestinian Authority does not have control over its security forces," Wilson said, "that indeed Yasser Arafat still controls the security forces, which then puts the prime minister in an awkward position."
These meetings with the prime minister are not seen as frivolous photo-ops, but as a perfect opportunity to forge stronger relations with members of Congress, where Israel's strongest allies sit.
Bobby Brown, who was in charge of Diaspora affairs under former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, remembers how seriously he would take these meetings. "Bibi viewed them as extremely important," Brown said. "He considered [them] as strategically important as almost any other area of effort on behalf of the State of Israel."
Moreover, Brown said, it was not always the congressional leaders learning about Israel. One time a governor told Netanyahu how his state had privatized everything, including prisons. "Bibi was absolutely fascinated with the idea that government could sub-contract out various governmental duties. I don't think anyone felt like student to teacher. It was more like a meetings of the minds, and a meeting of friends discussing how they could help each over periods of difficulties and crises."

Bush's domestic politics and the pro-Israeli tilt

By James O. Goldsborough

San Diego Union-Tribune
April 25, 2002

How are Americans to understand President Bush's kowtowing to
Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon?

Told to withdraw Israeli forces from the West Bank "without delay,"
Sharon refused. As Israel reduced the Jenin refugee camp to rubble
using U.S.-supplied arms, Bush praised him as a "man of peace." The
man of peace now wants to dictate the composition of a U.N.
fact-finding mission, approved with U.S. support, into Jenin.
As former President Carter pointed out Sunday, presidents don't just
spin their wheels. Presidents have power levers. In the case of
Israel, said Carter, the levers are two: We provide $10 million per
day in aid to Israel; we supply Israel weapons for defensive
purposes only, not for attacks on refugees.
Bush is having a rocky time. He rides high approval ratings because
of Sept. 11, but faced with the complexity of Middle East politics,
he is at sea. A man of domestic politics, he founders in the world
arena, where America has the reputation of being a superpower.
Bush's instinct from the beginning was to pull back from world
affairs. Just as he would be the anti-Clinton, he would be the
anti-Bush I. Those two presidents were too involved in the world,
too busy with alliances, agencies, treaties and all those things
that tie a good Texan down.
Bush wanted to "park" the Mideast. Last fall, when the White House
finally issued a few tepid words of caution about Israel's
bulldozing of Palestinian homes, Sharon accused Bush of Munich-style
"appeasement." To this gross insult to a nation that took no part in
Munich, the White House tut-tutted, asking Sharon to make friendlier
comments, which he did.
This month, however, as Israeli troops invaded the West Bank, Bush
said, "stop." Secretary of State Colin Powell was sent to the Middle
East to secure a troop withdrawal.
Bush was likely pushed into the Powell trip by his father and Brent
Scowcroft, who are said to have his ear. Neither John Ashcroft, the
fundamentalist zealot who is attorney general, nor Defense Secretary
Donald Rumsfeld expressed support. Tom DeLay, the rabid House whip,
urged fellow born-again Christian Bush to eliminate Yasser Arafat,
not talk to him.
It took some moxie for Bush to "unpark" the Middle East, but then he
collapsed. There's no way to pretty this up. Sharon told him to take
a jump, and he did. Is there a precedent for a presidential mission
coming up so empty? Marshall's trip to Moscow in 1947? Kissinger and
Le Duc Tho in Paris in 1972? James Baker in Geneva with Tariq Aziz
in 1991?
In each of those cases, America reacted decisively. There is a price
to be paid for opposing our interests. That's what power politics is
all about.
Foreign policy can't be driven by parochial interests. A nation that
aspires to leadership must have more to its policy than local
politics. In the Middle East, U.S. leadership is accepted because we
are viewed as an honest broker. Many administrations have kept it
that way. We don't kowtow.
The Bush administration is different. It appears to care more about
political support from American Jews than about a fair Mideast peace
accord. When Bush I and Baker stopped Israel in 1991 from using U.S.
money to build illegal settlements on Arab land, they were attacked
by the pro-Israel lobby. Said Baker: "---- the Jews, they don't vote
for us anyway."
Bush II doesn't accept that. He believes in political realignment.
He thinks he can win the Hispanic vote, which is 75 percent
Democratic. If Hispanics, why not Jews, who voted 4-1 for Democrats
in 2000? It's not just that the Jewish vote in a state such as
Florida might be crucial in 2004, but that being pro-Israel helps
him with conservatives, religious fundamentalists, the South and the
media.
U.S. media are strongly pro-Israel. One criticizes Israel at the
risk of being called anti-Semitic. New York Times columnist William
Safire, who acts as the official media spokesman for Israel, lashes
out at the "ridicule of liberal pundits" like Mary McGrory to Mark
Shields who dare to criticize Israel. All two of them.
Eric Alterman, who writes for The Nation, recently compiled a list
of commentators who write on the Middle East. Sixty-five were listed
as supporting Israel, right or wrong. Five were listed as willing to
criticize both Israel and the Palestinians. Another five, only one
of them writing for the national press, was listed as anti-Israel.
Politicians and the media feed off each other. If a politician dares
speak out against Israel, he is pilloried by the Safire 65, and soon
has Jews shouting charges of anti-Semitism at him.
A former California member of Congress told me this story: A
colleague was running for the Senate. AIPAC, the Jewish lobby,
approached him. AIPAC would organize fund-raisers for him in five
cities, each with a guaranteed take of $100,000.
AIPAC asked for only one thing in return: If he won, he would commit
to vote in favor of the $3.5 billion in aid Israel receives annually
from America.
I get my share of anti-Semitic charges. To my accusers, I ask: Why
wasn't I anti-Semitic between 1993 and 2001, during the Oslo peace
process? With Sharon, Israel will never have peace. You confuse
anti-Semitism with anti-Sharonism.
To the latter, I plead guilty. But then, so do many of my Jewish
friends.

An omission from the post that most deffnitely should have been included, was the deliberate refusal of the Israelis who had knowledge of an imminent terrorist attack in October 1983 , to alert the Marine Commander in the sector of Beirut where the attack was aimed.

The Israelis deliberately witheld this information though they knew the make, color, and license of the vehicle that was to be used. This was revealed by former Mossad officer Victor Ostrovsky in his "By Way odf Deception".

242 Marines lost their lives.

your post about the israelis keeping info away from the us marines should be sent to marine command if it is indeed accurate..

how credible do you think the information is about about the israeli espionage ring in the usa which is mentioned at the following sites as i hope that the fbi does indeed start monitoring these aol news boards so they can get a reality check as to what the israelis have been allowed to get away with because of the pro-israel (jewish) aipac lobby "bought" congress of ours (as you can see how much each congressman/congresswomen as received from aipac at the first web site which is referenced below)?:

Lest We Forget

The Israeli lobby in Washington has successfully influenced the U.S.
Congress to give billions of non-repayable dollars each year to Israel on
the premise that Israel's loyalty and strategic importance to the United
States make it an ally worthy of such unprecedented consideration. Is it?

In his Farewell Address, George Washington warned Americans to avoid a
passionate attachment to any one nation because it promotes "the illusion
of an imaginary common interest in cases where no real common interest exists."

In 1948, U.S. Secretary of Defense James Forrestal, an opponent of the
creation of a Jewish state in Palestine, warned that, even though failure
to go along with the Zionists might cost President Truman the states of New
York, Pennsylvania, and California, "it was about time that somebody should
pay some consideration to whether we might not lose the United States."

Israeli actions over the past 53 years involving U.S. interests in the
Middle East seriously challenge the "strategic asset" premise of the
Israeli lobby. Some of these actions are compiled in the list that follows:

September 1953: Israel illegally begins to divert the waters of the Jordan
River. President Eisenhower, enraged, suspends all economic aid to Israel
and prepares to remove the tax-deductible status of the United Jewish
Appeal and of other Zionist organizations in the United States.

October 1953: Israel raids the West Bank village of Kibya, killing 53
Palestinian civilians. The Eisenhower administration calls the raid
"shocking," and confirms the suspension of aid to Israel.

July 1954: Israeli agents firebomb American and British cultural centers in
Egypt, making it look like the work of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood in
order to sabotage U.S.-Egyptian relations.

October 1956: Israel secretly joins with England and France in a colonial-
style attack on Egypt's Suez Canal. Calling the invasion a dangerous threat
to international order, President Eisenhower forces Israel to relinquish
most of the land it had seized.

1965: 206 pounds of weapons grade uranium disappear from the Nuclear
Materials and Equipment Corporation plant in Pennsylvania. Plant president
is Zalmon Shapiro, a former sales agent for the Israel Defense Ministry.
C.I.A. Director Richard Helms later charges that Israel stole the uranium.

June 1967: Israel bombs, napalms and torpedoes the USS Liberty, killing 34
Americans, wounding 171 others, and nearly sinking the lightly armed
intelligence ship. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral
Thomas Moorer, charges that the attack "could not possibly have been a case
of mistaken identity."

http://home.cfl.rr.com/gidusko/liberty/

June 1967: Against U.S. wishes Israel seizes and occupies Syria's Golan
Heights.

June 1968: Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir rejects U.S. Secretary of
State William Rogers' Peace Plan that would have required Israel to
withdraw from the occupied territories; she calls upon Jews everywhere to
denounce the plan.

March 1978: Israel invades Lebanon, illegally using U.S. cluster bombs and
other U.S. weapons given to Israel for defensive purposes only.

1979: Israel frustrates U.S.-sponsored Camp David Accords by building new
settlements on the West Bank. President Carter complains to American Jewish
leaders that, by acting in a "completely irresponsible way," Israel's Prime
Minister Begin continues "to disavow the basic principles of the accords."

1979: Israel sells U.S. airplane tires and other military supplies to Iran,
against U.S. policy, at a time when U.S. diplomats are being held hostage
in Teheran.

July 1980: Israel annexes East Jerusalem in defiance of U.S. wishes and
world opinion.

July 1981: Illegally using U.S. cluster bombs and other equipment, Israel
bombs P.L.O. sites in Beirut, with great loss of civilian life. December
1981: Israel annexes Syria's Golan Heights, in violation of the Geneva
Convention and in defiance of U.S. wishes.

June 1982: Israel invades Lebanon a second time, again using U.S. cluster
bombs and other U.S. weapons. President Reagan calls for a halt of all
shipments of cluster bomb shells to Israel.

September 1982: Abetted by Israeli forces under the control of Defense
Minister Ariel Sharon, Lebanese militiamen massacre hundreds of
Palestinians in Beirut's Sabra and Shatila refugee camps. President Reagan
is "horrified" and summons the Israeli ambassador to demand Israel's
immediate withdrawal from Beirut.

September 1982: Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin rejects President
Reagan's Peace Plan for the occupied territories.

January-March 1983: Israeli army "harasses" U.S. Marines in Lebanon.
Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger confirms Marine commandant's report
that "Israeli troops are deliberately threatening the lives of American
military personnel . . . replete with verbal degradation of the officers,
their uniforms and country."

March 1985: Israeli lobby in Washington pressures the U.S. Congress to turn
down a $1.6 billion arms sale to Jordan, costing the U.S. thousands of
jobs, quite apart from the financial loss to American industry. Jordan
gives the contract to Russia. A frustrated King Hussein complains: "The
U.S. is not free to move except within the limits of what AIPAC [the
Israeli lobby], the Zionists and the State of Israel determine for it."

October 1985: Israeli lobby blocks $4 billion aircraft sale to Saudi
Arabia. The sale, strongly backed by the Reagan administration, costs the
U.S. over 350,000 jobs, with steep financial losses to American industry.
Saudi Arabia awards contract to England.

November 1985: Jonathan Jay Pollard, an American recruited by Israel, is
arrested for passing highly classified intelligence to Israel. U.S.
officials call the operation but "one link in an organized and
well-financed Israeli espionage ring operating within the United States."
State Department contacts reveal that top Israeli defense officials "traded
stolen U.S. intelligence documents to Soviet military intelligence agents
in return for assurances of greater emigration of Soviet Jews."

December 1985: U.S. Customs in three states raid factories suspected of
illegally selling electroplating technology to Israel. Richard Smyth, a
NATO consultant and former U.S. exporter, is indicted on charges of
illegally exporting to Israel 800 krytron devices for triggering nuclear
explosions.

April 1986: U.S. authorities arrest 17 persons, including a retired Israeli
General, Avraham Bar-Am, for plotting to sell more than $2 billion of
advanced U.S. weaponry to Iran (much of it already in Israel). General Bar-
Am, claiming to have had Israeli Government approval, threatens to name
names at the highest levels. U.S. Attorney General of New York calls the
plot "mind-boggling in scope."

July 1986: Assistant Secretary of State Richard Murphy informs the Israeli
ambassador that a U.S. investigation is under way of eight Israeli
representatives in the U.S. accused of plotting the illegal export of
technology used in making cluster bombs. Indictments against the eight are
later dropped in exchange for an Israeli promise to cooperate in the case.

January 1987: Israeli Defense Minister Yitzhak Rabin visits South Africa to
discuss joint nuclear weapons testing. Israel admits that, in violation of
a U.S. Senate anti-apartheid bill, it has arms sales contracts with South
Africa worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Rep. John Conyers calls for
Congressional hearings on Israel-South Africa nuclear testing.

November 1987: The Iran-Contra scandal reveals that it was Israel that had
first proposed the trade to Iran of U.S. arms for hostages. The scandal
becomes the subject of the Tower Commission Report, Senate and House
investigations, and the Walsh criminal prosecution inquiries.

April 1988: Testifying before U.S. Subcommittee on Narcotics, Terrorism and
International Operations, Jose Blandon, a former intelligence aide to
Panama's General Noriega, reveals that Israel used $20 million of U.S. aid
to ship arms via Panama to Nicaraguan Contras. The empty planes then
smuggled cocaine via Panama into the United States. Pilot tells ABC
reporter Richard Threlkeld that Israel was his primary employer. The
arms-for- drugs network is said to be led by Mike Harari, Noriega's close
aide and bodyguard, who was also a high officer in the Israeli secret
services and chief coordinator of Israel's military and commercial business
in Panama.

June 1988: Mubarak Awad, a Palestinian-American advocate of nonviolence, is

it is unjustifiable to deny Mr. Awad the right to stay and live in
Jerusalem, where he was born."

June 1988: Amnesty International accuses Israel of throwing deadly, U.S.-
made gas canisters inside hospitals, mosques, and private homes. The
Pennsylvania manufacturer, a major defense corporation, suspends future

Israel purchased $36 million of Iranian oil in order to encourage Iran to
help free three Israeli hostages in Lebanon.

March 1990: Israel requests more than $1 billion in loans, gifts, and
donations from American Jews and U.S. government to pay for resettling
Soviet Jews in occupied territories. President Bush responds, "My position
is that the foreign policy of the U.S. says we do not believe there should
be new settlements in the West Bank or East Jerusalem."

June 1990: Officials in the Bush administration and in Congress say that
Israel has emerged as leading supplier of advanced military technology to
China, despite U.S.'s expressed opposition to Israeli-Chinese military
cooperation.

September 1990: Israeli Foreign Minister David Levy asks the Bush
administration to forgive Israel's $4.5 billion military debt and
dramatically increase military aid. Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Arens
expresses concern over expected $20 billion in U.S. arms sales to Saudi
Arabia and asks for an additional $1 billion in military aid to Israel.
Facing rising congressional opposition, White House backs off from plan to
sell Saudi Arabia over $20 billion in military hardware. Bush
administration promises to deliver additional F-15 fighters and Patriot
missiles to Israel, but defers action on Israel's request for more than $1
billion in new military aid. Arens questions U.S.'s commitment to maintain
Israel's military advantage in the Middle East.

October 1990: "Aliya cabinet" chair Ariel Sharon encourages increase in
settlement of Soviet Jews in East Jerusalem, despite his government's
assurances to the U.S. that it would not do so. Bush sends personal letter

"outrageous and outside the bounds of acceptable behavior."

February 1991: Hours after long-disputed $400 million loan guarantees to
Israel are approved, Israeli officials say the amount is grossly
insufficient. Next day, Israel formally requests $1 billion in emergency
military assistance to cover costs stemming from the Gulf War.

March 1991: Israeli government rejects President Bush's call for solution
to Arab-Israeli conflict that includes trading land for peace. In a report
to Congress, U.S. State Department says Soviet Jewish immigrants are
settling in the occupied territories at a higher rate than the Israeli
government claims. During tour of West Bank settlements, Housing Minister
Sharon says construction of 13,000 housing units in occupied territories
has been approved for next two years. Plans contradict statement by Prime
Minister Shamir, who told President Bush that the Israeli government had
not approved such plans.

April 1991: Prime Minister Shamir and several members of his cabinet reject
U.S. Secretary of State Baker's suggestion that Israel curtail expansion of
Jewish settlements in the occupied territories as gesture for peace. U.S.
calls new Jewish settlement of Revava "an obstacle" to peace and questions
Israel's timing, with Secretary Baker due to arrive in Israel in two days.
Hours before Baker arrives, eight Israeli families complete move to new
settlement of Talmon Bet. U.S. ambassador to Israel William Brown files an
official protest with the Israeli government about establishment and/or
expansion of settlements in the West Bank. Housing Minister Sharon says
Israel has no intention of meeting U.S. demands to slow or stop
settlements. Secretary Baker, in a news conference before leaving Israel,
says Israel failed to give responses he needed to put together a peace
conference.

May 1991: Israeli ambassador to U.S. Zalman Shoval says his country will

loan guarantee request for 120 days. Ignoring pleas of U.S. administration,
Israel formally submits its request. Prime Minister Shamir says U.S. has a
"moral obligation" to provide Israel with loan guarantees, and that Israel
would continue to build settlements in the occupied territories.

October 1991: The Washington Post reports that President Bush waived
U.S.-mandated sanctions against Israel after U.S. intelligence determined
that Israel had exported missile components to South Africa.

inaugurates Qela', a new settlement in the Golan Heights. Secretary of
State Baker calls the action "provocative."

intelligence reports that Israel supplied China with technical data from
U.S. Patriot missile system.

to question former General Rami Dotan, who is at center of arms procurement
scandal involving U.S. contractors.

July 1992: General Electric Company pleads guilty to fraud and corrupt
business practices in connection with its sale of military jet engines to
Israel. A GE manager had conspired with Israeli Gen. Rami Dotan to divert
$27 million in U.S. military aid with fraudulent vouchers. U.S. Justice and
Defense Departments do not believe that Dotan was acting in his own
interest, implying that the government of Israel may be implicated in the
fraud, which would constitute a default on Israel's aid agreements with the
U.S.

June 1993: U.S. House of Representatives passes bill authorizing $80
million per year to Israel for refugee settlement; bill passes despite $10
billion in U.S. loan guarantees to Israel and against evidence from Israeli
economists that Israel no longer needs U.S. aid.

Israel to pay reparations. Resolution is vetoed by the United States.

June 1996: U.S. State Department hands Israeli defense officials classified
CIA report alleging Israel has given China U.S. military avionics,
including advanced radar-detection system and electronic warfare equipment.

December 1996: Israeli cabinet reinstates large subsidies, including tax

police beat him, threw him into a van, and detained him until the U.S.
Consulate intervened. U.S. State Department calls the incident "simply
unacceptable."

September 1997: Secretary of State Albright says Israel's decision to
expand Efrat settlement "is not at all helpful" to the peace process. Prime

recognizes Pollard as its agent in hopes of negotiating his release.

June 1998: Secretary of State Albright phones Prime Minister Netanyahu to

August 1998: Secretary Albright tells Prime Minister Netanyahu that the
freeze in the peace process due to the settlement policy is harming U.S.
interests in the Middle East and affecting the U.S.'s ability to forge a
coalition against Iraq.

Mitchell) concludes that Jewish settlements are a barrier to peace. Prime
Minister Sharon vows to continue expanding the settlements.

May 2001: U.S. is voted off the United Nations Commission on Human Rights
for the first time since the committee's establishment in 1947. The
Financial Times of London suggests that Washington, by vetoing U.N.
resolutions alleging Israeli human rights abuses, showed its inability to
work impartially in the area of human rights. Secretary of State Colin
Powell suggests the vote was because "we left a little blood on the floor"
in votes involving the Palestinians.

September 2001: Six days after the 9/11 terrorist attacks on America,
Secretary of State Powell, when asked why America is hated in the Arab and
Muslim world, acknowledges that the deep resentment and anger toward the
United States is due to the Palestinian crisis.

November 2001: Secretary of State Colin Powell calls on Israel to halt all
settlement building which he says "cripples chances for real peace and
security." Benny Elon, a right-wing minister in the Sharon government, says

said only to get Arab support for America's anti-terrorism coalition
against Afghanistan.

Israeli tanks from Palestinian refugee camps, citing large numbers of
Palestinians reported dead or injured. U.S. State Dept. says the United
States has contacted Israel to "urge that utmost restraint be exercised in
order to avoid harm to the civilian population."

Bush should break clean from Jewish lobby Thursday

E-mail this story to a friend | Printable version

DEAR EDITOR:

On this one-year anniversary of the beginning of the Iraq war, President Bush is proclaiming it to be a big achievement in bringing peace to the Iraqi people and a victory on the ongoing war on terrorism.

President Bush could bring about a victory on the war on terrorism without sacrificing more than 550 American lives and over $1 trillion of U.S. taxpayer money.

All he would need to do is break clean from Israel and suspend all aid until Israel relinquishes its control of the occupied Palestinian territories, stops building and expanding illegal Jewish settlements, accedes to the Palestinians right to self-determination and evacuates Jewish settlers now living in areas of the West Bank and Gaza.
With this recommendation, the president could instantly, and without firing a shot, quiet guerilla warfare in Iraq and anti-American protests throughout the world.

Further, he would be taking a major step toward restoring the U.S. to the position of respect and honor it once held among all Muslim and Arab nations.

President Bush has the power to end the reign of terror right now if he is willing to break clean from the stranglehold of the Jewish lobby. Politically, it is a hard choice, but ultimately a sensible and realistic one that would bring about true peace and justice in the Middle East.

The quote below was made by Virginia congressman Jim Moran last year and
for speaking the truth, because it was not only the neocons but the main
organizations of the Jewish community/Israel lobby that supported the
war, Moran has been targeted for defeat, as were Cynthia McKinney and
Earl Hilliard in 2002. That John Kerry is deeply involved in attempting
to unseat Moran shows how willing he is to serve Israel and the lobby's
interests. But he doesn't work for free.

Kerry aides plot Moran's defeat

By Charles Hurt
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Published March 26, 2004

Three top advisers to Sen. John Kerry are helping to unseat Rep. James
P.
Moran in an unusual effort to topple the seven-term fellow Democrat from
Northern
Virginia, who is routinely re-elected by wide margins.

The Kerry workers join numerous Democratic Party leaders in supporting
Alexandria lawyer Andrew Rosenberg's effort to oust Mr. Moran in the
June primary.

Among Mr. Rosenberg's high-powered backers are Robert M. Shrum, Steven
A.
Elmendorf and Steven Grossman, all top advisers to Mr. Kerry. Mr. Shrum,
a top
Kerry media consultant, lists Mr. Rosenberg as a client, while Mr.
Grossman and
Mr. Elmendorf, both top Kerry campaign officials, have made financial
contributions to Mr. Rosenberg.

The Kerry campaign said it takes no official position in this or any
other
local primary. "We're focused on winning the White House and changing
America,"
a campaign official said.

The most recent complaint about Mr. Moran among many Democrats concerns
a
remark he made last year blaming Jewish Americans for the war in Iraq.

"If it were not for the strong support of the Jewish community for this
war
with Iraq, we would not be doing this," he said at a gathering of
antiwar
activists in Reston a year ago. "The leaders of the Jewish community are
influential enough that they could change the direction of where this is
going, and I
think they should."

The remark brought a stinging rebuke from reliable Democratic
organizations
such as the Anti-Defamation League, which called the comment "pure,
unadulterated anti-Semitism."

"That's only the latest in a string of inappropriate statements and
actions
the congressman has made," Mr. Rosenberg said yesterday. "The people of
Northern Virginia are aware of his background. They know, as a member of
Congress, he
has repeatedly displayed bad judgment and that has undercut his
effectiveness."

Past scandals involving Mr. Moran include a questionable loan by a bank
that
had pending legislation before Congress. He also has a penchant for
fistfights,
including a famous 1995 tussle on the floor of the House with Rep.
Randy
"Duke" Cunningham, California Republican.

After his remark blaming Jews for the war, Mr. Moran was stripped of his
post
as regional whip for members of Mid-Atlantic states and asked by several
Democratic House members not to run for re-election in the fall.

"I don't think Moran should take this challenge lightly at all," said
Mark
Rozell, professor of politics at Catholic University. "This is the first
time
when the disgruntlement takes place more from within the party than
outside it."

Indeed, a recent poll released by Mr. Rosenberg suggests some
dissatisfaction
among Mr. Moran's base, which in the past has re-elected him with 60
percent
of the vote.

The poll, conducted by Lazarus Strategic Services for Mr. Rosenberg's
campaign, found 45 percent of Democrats in Mr. Moran's district approved
of his job
performance.

Some have compared the situation in Northern Virginia to the effort
among
Democrats to oust party member Rep. Chris Bell earlier this month in
Texas.

In that case, Mr. Bell, who is white, found himself running for
re-election
in a newly drawn district with a large minority population.

Reps. Maxine Waters of California, Sheila Jackson-Lee of Texas and Jesse
Jackson Jr. of Illinois, all black Democrats, campaigned on behalf of a
black
challenger, who beat Mr. Bell in the primary. It caused bad blood among
some
Democrats, who thought party members should not waste political capital
on a fellow
Democrat.

"There are going to be those party faithful who stick with the incumbent
no
matter what," Mr. Rozell said. "They will stick with him despite his
well-known
shortcomings."

But Mr. Rosenberg drew a distinction between the cases of Mr. Bell and
Mr.
Moran.

"It's an entirely different situation," he said. "The difference here is
we
have a member of Congress who has been asked to step down. He is not
serving
with distinction and character."

Asked how he responds to fellow Democrats who accuse him of attacking
one of
their own, Mr. Rosenberg says voters are "desperate for an alternative."

"There's a tremendous appetite for change in Northern Virginia," he
said. "We
want to make sure that choice is offered by another Democrat."

Subj: More than 40 senators said they supported Israel’s assassination
Date: 3/26/04 9:39:45 PM Pacific Standard Time
From: jblankfort@earthlink.net
Sent from the Internet (Details)

These senators had a choice on Thursday of attending the 9-11 hearings or meeting with their bosses, or rather one of their bosses, the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations which generally lobbies the White House while leaving Congress to AIPAC. Hoenlein, it should be known, drafted the first counter-terrorism bill under the Clinton administration, as reported in the Forward at the time.. There are some folks who would have us believe that foreign policy originates in the White House.

40 senators out of 100! And check out the last line.
Jewish Telegraphic Agency 3.27.4

Jews meet Senate leaders

More than 40 senators said they supported Israel’s assassination of Hamas’ leader, a Jewish official said. The senators met Thursday with officials from the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations. While some senators voiced concern about the consequences of killing Sheik Ahmed Yassin, the lawmakers — including Senate majority leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.), minority leader Tom Daschle (D-S.D.) and Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) — “supported Israel’s right to take whatever measures are necessary to defend itself,” according to Malcolm Hoenlein, executive vice chairman of the Presidents Conference. The group also discussed the U.S. war on terrorism, Iran’s nuclear aspirations, U.S. sanctions against Syria and homeland security funding for U.S. Jewish institutions.

Just as Paul Findley has mentioned that a significant contributing motivation for Bin Laden's (World Trade Center) attack on America was the US support (in BILLIONS of US taxpayer dollars as you can see via the ticker at the upper left of www.wrmea.com) for Israel's brutal (Apartheid-like) oppression/suppression of the Palestinian people, such is confirmed by what Bin Laden has mentioned as included in the URL below:

Liberating America From Israel
By Former Congressman Paul Findley
9-12-2

Nine-eleven would not have occurred if the U.S. government had refused to help Israel humiliate and destroy Palestinian society. Few express this conclusion publicly, but many believe it is the truth. I believe the catastrophe could have been prevented if any U.S. president during the past 35 years had had the courage and wisdom to suspend all U.S. aid until Israel withdrew from the Arab land seized in the 1967 Arab-Israeli war.

The U.S. lobby for Israel is powerful and intimidating, but any determined president - even President Bush this very day - could prevail and win overwhelming public support for the suspension of aid by laying these facts before the American people:

Israel's present government, like its predecessors, is determined to annex the West Bank - biblical Judea and Samaria - so Israel will become Greater Israel. Ultra-Orthodox Jews, who maintain a powerful role in Israeli politics, believe the Jewish Messiah will not come until Greater Israel is a reality. Although a minority in Israel, they are committed, aggressive, and influential. Because of deep religious conviction, they are determined to prevent Palestinians from gaining statehood on any part of the West Bank.

In its violent assaults on Palestinians, Israel uses the pretext of eradicating terrorism, but its forces are actually engaged advancing the territorial expansion just cited. Under the guise of anti-terrorism, Israeli forces treat Palestinians worse than cattle. With due process nowhere to be found, hundreds are detained for long periods and most are tortured. Some are assassinated. Homes, orchards, and business places are destroyed. Entire cities are kept under intermittent curfew, some confinements lasting for weeks. Injured or ill Palestinians needing emergency medical care are routinely held at checkpoints for an hour or more. Many children are undernourished. The West Bank and Gaza have become giant concentration camps. None of this could have occurred without U.S. support. Perhaps Israeli officials believe life will become so unbearable that most Palestinians will eventually leave their ancestral homes.

Once beloved worldwide, the U.S. government finds itself reviled in most countries because it provides unconditional support of Israeli violations of the United Nations Charter, international law, and the precepts of all major religious faiths.

How did the American people get into this fix?

Nine-eleven had its principal origin 35 years ago when Israel's U.S. lobby began its unbroken success in stifling debate about the proper U.S. role in the Arab-Israeli conflict and effectively concealed from public awareness the fact that the U.S. government gives massive uncritical support to Israel.

Thanks to the suffocating influence of Israel's U.S. lobby, open discussion of the Arab-Israeli conflict has been non-existent in our government all these years. I have firsthand knowledge, because I was a member of the House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee in June 1967 when Israeli military forces took control of the Golan Heights, a part of Syria, as well as the Palestinian West Bank and Gaza. I continued as a member for 16 years and to this day maintain a close watch on Congress.

For 35 years, not a word has been expressed in that committee or in either chamber of Congress that deserves to be called debate on Middle East policy. No restrictive or limiting amendments on aid to Israel have been offered for 20 years, and none of the few offered in previous years received more than a handful of votes. On Capitol Hill, criticism of Israel, even in private conversation, is all but forbidden, treated as downright unpatriotic, if not anti-Semitic. The continued absence of free speech was assured when those few who spoke out-Senators Adlai Stevenson and Charles Percy, and Reps. Paul "Pete" McCloskey, Cynthia McKinney, Earl Hilliard, and myself-were defeated at the polls by candidates heavily financed by pro-Israel forces.

As a result, legislation dealing with the Middle East has been heavily biased in favor of Israel and against Palestinians and other Arabs year after year. Home constituencies, misled by news coverage equally lop-sided in Israel's favor, remain largely unaware that Congress behaves as if it were a subcommittee of the Israeli parliament.

However, the bias is widely noted beyond America, where most news media candidly cover Israel's conquest and generally excoriate America's complicity and complacency. When President Bush welcomed Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, sometimes called the Butcher of Beirut, as "my dear friend" and "a man of peace" after Israeli forces, using U.S.-donated arms, completed their devastation of the West Bank last spring, worldwide anger against American policy reached the boiling point.

The fury should surprise no one who reads foreign newspapers or listens to BBC. In several televised statements long before 9/11,Osama bin Laden, believed by U.S. authorities to have masterminded 9/11, cited U.S. complicity in Israel's destruction of Palestinian society as a principal complaint. Prominent foreigners, in and out of government, express their opposition to U.S. policies with unprecedented frequency and severity, especially since Bush announced his determination to make war against Iraq.

The lobby's intimidation remains pervasive. It seems to reach every government center and even houses of worship and revered institutions of higher learning. It is highly effective in silencing the many U.S. Jews who object to the lobby's tactics and Israel's brutality.

Nothing can justify 9/11. Those guilty deserve maximum punishment, but it makes sense for America to examine motivations promptly and as carefully as possible. Terrorism almost always arises from deeply-felt grievances. If they can be eradicated or eased, terrorist passions are certain to subside.

Today, a year after 9/11, President Bush has made no attempt to redress grievances, or even to identify them. In fact, he has made the scene far worse by supporting Israel's religious war against Palestinians, an alliance that has intensified anti-American anger. He seems oblivious to the fact that nearly two billion people worldwide regard the plight of Palestinians as today's most important foreign-policy challenge. No one in authority will admit a calamitous reality that is skillfully shielded from the American people but clearly recognized by most of the world: America suffered 9/11 and its aftermath and may soon be at war with Iraq, mainly because U.S. policy in the Middle East is made in Israel, not in Washington.

Israel is a scofflaw nation and should be treated as such. Instead of helping Sharon intensify Palestinian misery, our president should suspend all aid until Israel ends its occupation of Arab land Israel seized in 1967. The suspension would force Sharon's compliance or lead to his removal from office, as the Israeli electorate will not tolerate a prime minister who is at odds with the White House.

If Bush needs an additional reason for doing the right thing, he can justify the suspension as a matter of military necessity, an essential step in winning international support for his war on terrorism. He can cite a worthy precedent. When President Abraham Lincoln issued the proclamation that freed only the slaves in states that were then in rebellion, he make the restriction because of "military necessity."

If Bush suspends U.S. aid, he will liberate all Americans from long years of bondage to Israel's misdeeds.
