- PHOENIX - Regular, long-time
TiM readers will need no introduction when it comes to the Israeli
journalist,
Barry Chamish. New readers can do a search at our Web site ( www.truthinmedia.org
) for some of his past articles which the TiM has published.
-
- This time, however, we have to bring you his latest
piece,
"Secrets of Golan," with a caveat. We are running it because
it reveals some heretofore unknown, or little known, facts about the role
of the Rothschilds in the Middle East (also see the "New
World Order Flag"). Yet the article contains some inaccuracies
(to do with the U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East) which need to be
corrected. So check out the TiM editor's note at the end, which contains
our exchanges with the Israeli writer.
-
- And now, here's the
-
- Chamish Rothschilds-Syria
story:
- By Barry Chamish
-
- JERUSALEM - In January 1996,
the business magazine section of the Tel Aviv-based daily newspaper Globes
published a four part series revealing a profoundly important fact that
was unexplainably ignored: Israel has legal title over a large chunk of
the Golan Heights and Western Syria.
-
- In the 1890s, Baron Rothschild purchased 20,000 acres
of Syrian land owned by the Ottoman empire. In 1942, the Syrian government
illegally confiscated the land. The Baron transferred the deeds to the
Jewish National Fund (JNF) in 1957. In 1992, the deeds were moved to the
Prime Minister's Office where they are stored today.
-
- After I read the series, I called a contact in the JNF,
Bunny Alexandroni, of the public relations department. She said she'd look
into the matter and called me back. She informed me that she couldn't
comment
on the Globes series but asked me to meet her at her office. An appointment
was made and she told me that her boss, the director of her department,
would talk to me if I agreed not to publish his name.
-
- After so agreeing, I entered his office and he invited
me to be seated. He explained, "The Globes articles were essentially
correct. They were a bit off on the location of the Rothschild land. Some
of it is in the Golan, but most is in the Horan, in Syria itself. I
informed
the government that the deeds are an excellent bargaining chip with the
Syrians but the government refuses to play it. My hands are tied. I've
been instructed not to pursue the matter."
-
- And that is the biggest secret of the Golan: the Israeli
government is holding onto legal title to land in the Golan and beyond
and is hiding the fact from the public. Of course, the first question would
be - why?
-
- What follows is a chronological explanation of how the
current Israeli-Syrian "peace" talks came to be. For those who
are unable to dramatically readjust their sense of reality, it is advised
to simply stop reading and make do with the knowledge of the land titles.
They are more than enough to assure that Israel remains atop the Golan
Heights. For those willing to accept a drastic switch in point of view,
keep reading..."

-
- TiM Ed.: Before you do, however, allow us (TiM) to
interject
for a moment:
-
- The preceding argument about the "legal" title
to Syria would be downright comical, if it were not tragic. The Serbs,
for example, have held a thousand year-old legal title to Kosovo. And about
a 300 to 400 year-old titles to their ancestral lands in Croatia and
Bosnia.
From which they were kicked off by NATO and its Croatian and Muslim
puppets.
And what did Israel do about that? It awarded both Croatia and Bosnia
full diplomatic recognition!
-
- Besides, wasn't it some lawyer who told us that
"possession
is 90% of the law?" And Israel has certainly proven it by occupying,
holding and settling the foreign lands which don't belong to it.
"Birds
of a feather flock together?"

-
- December 1990 - President George Bush invites Syria to
join his coalition of forces to fight Iraq. The only offer Syria will
respond
to is a promise that America will use its power to remove Israel from the
Golan Heights. Bush's administration has already secretly transferred $5.5
billion to Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein and is in constant contact with
him <#NOTES - TiM Ed., Dec. 18:(TiM Ed.: see the NOTES at the end of
the article). Before the first shot of the Persian Gulf War is fired,
Hussein
agrees to bombard Israel with Scud missiles. In return, he is promised
that no matter what the outcome of the war, he will not be brought down,
nor will Israel respond to the attacks.
-
- Bush promises Syria a bombardment that will prove to
the Israeli people that territory will not protect them in the age of
missiles.
Later America will put the squeeze on the Shamir government to relinquish
the Heights. Syria accepts the terms and joins the coalition.
-
- Summer 1991 - Bush organizes a conference in Madrid to
put international pressure on the Shamir government to leave the Golan.
Shamir refuses to budge. Bush meets Syrian President Assad in Geneva. There
Assad says he's running out of patience with Bush and threatens to take
matters into his own hands before the upcoming American elections. Bush
promises that he will use all his power to remove Shamir from office and
bring in a more compliant government.
-
- June 23, 1992 - Bush's strategy of withholding loan
guarantees
and demonizing Shamir succeeds and Yitzhak Rabin becomes Israeli Prime
Minister. Bush demands an immediate Golan withdrawal and Rabin explains
that it is politically out of the question for him.
-
- September 10, 1992 - Foreign Minister Shimon Peres meets
French President Mitterand and Foreign Minister Roland Dumas in Paris and
agrees to promote a total Golan withdrawal. He wants to meet with Syrian
FM Farouk Shara immediately. Peres returns to Israel and Rabin meets him
at Ben Gurion Airport. He orders Peres to stay away from the French, loudly
calling them, "the biggest bastards." Too late for Rabin. Two
days later Dumas begins a shuttle between Damascus and Cairo to coordinate
Peres's Golan withdrawal.
-
- September 17, 1992 - Rabin is called to Kennebunkport,
Maine, where an agitated Bush lays down the law. He must neutralize Peres's
French track and "prepare the Israeli people for painful
withdrawals,"
first from the Golan and then the West Bank and Gaza. He demands that the
Golan withdrawal be coordinated with a compliant military leader, IDF Chief
Of Staff Ehud Barak. Rabin returns to Israel and announces his Syria First
peace program.
-
- September 23, 1993 - Syria is put on the back burner
by the new Clinton administration, while negotiations with the PLO are
taking place. Once Rabin inks a deal with Arafat, the White House begins
its campaign for a Golan treaty. A meeting is set up between Chief Of Staff
Ehud Barak and VP Al Gore to get the track going.
-
- November 12, 1993 - An international race is on to see
who can get Israel off the Golan first. On the same day that Rabin is in
Washington, accompanied secretly by Ariel Sharon, Peres is in France
meeting
with his French counterpart Alain Juppe. The Washington meetings go badly.
The biggest sticking point is Syria's demand that as part of a peace deal,
Israel give up its nuclear weapons program. While Rabin and Sharon refuse
to accede, Peres shows no such compunctions.
-
- December 6, 1993 - Secretary of State Warren Christopher
flies to Damascus for a meeting with Syrian VP Hassan Habibi and most
telling,
with Jordanian Hamas leader Ibrahim Rusha. Syria lays down the law. The
French have made a better offer and unless America moves Rabin in the same
direction, Syria will promote a Hamas overthrow of the PLO regime in Gaza
and the West Bank. Syria offers Hamas's violent talents for a terror
campaign
to remove Rabin from power in favor of Peres. Christopher relays the
threats
to Clinton and a summit between Assad and the American president is
arranged
for the following month.
-
- January, 1994 - Clinton and Assad meet in Geneva. Arafat,
apprised of the plot against him, rushes to Geneva where the Swiss
authorities
refused to grant him an entrance visa. Clinton promises Assad a total Golan
retreat and Rabin reacts with furor. He announces that any Golan deal would
now be subject to a public referendum and appoints his Deputy Defence
Minister,
Motta Gur, to introduce a referendum bill in the Knesset.
-
- May, 1994 - Peres orders his Foreign Ministry staff to
prepare a plan for the evacuation of Jewish residents of the Golan and
presents it to Mitterand with a request for an immediate meeting with the
Syrians. The Syrians now want Rabin out and Peres in and plan a strategy
to achieve the goal.
-
- July, 1994 - Assad finally takes matters in his own hands
and orders the bombing of the Israeli embassy in Buenos Aires. Over a
hundred
Jews die. Syria's responsibility is traced conclusively by two Argentinian
journalists. The suicide bomb vehicle is rented with currency traced to
Damascus. Rabin is ordered by his American bosses to cover up Syria's role
in the atrocity and Israel shifts blame to Iran.
-
- October 17, 1994 - The repercussions of Buenos Aires
does not budge Rabin, so Syria orders a strike closer to home. A bus
explodes
in Tel Aviv killing 23. The same day, Palestinian radio station in Damascus
gives full detail's of the blast's methodology, two days before Israel
police confirmed the accuracy of the report.
-
- November, 1994 - With Syria living up to its threats
to remove Rabin, Clinton initiates a Damascus-Jerusalem shuttle. Rathered
than softened by the slaughter of Jews, Rabin was furious and his position
on Syria hardened. Clinton finally relents and agreed to replace Rabin
with a more compliant candidate, Ehud Barak.
-
- December, 1994 - Peres takes a major step towards
realizing
his Golan plan and invited Germany and Japan to place troops on the Heights
after withdrawal went into effect.
-
- January, 1995 - Ehud Barak quits his post as Chief Of
Staff. A month later he meets with Warren Christopher in Jerusalem to plan
his future.
-
- March - June, 1995 - Barak flies to Washington and
immediately
begins negotiations with the Syrian peace-talks delegation. He promises
a total Golan withdrawal if he becomes Prime Minister. He spends the rest
of his trip planning his accession to power and understanding his role
as envisioned by the Council On Foreign Relations. He holds meetings with
CFR executives Henry Kissinger, Lawrence Tisch and Edgar Bronfman. They
vow to finance his campaign. Barak announces that the triumvirate agreed
to finance his new "business" career to the tune of $30
million.
-
- July, 1995 - Barak returns to Israel and Rabin appoints
him Interior Minister. Motta Gur is dead, supposedly of a suicide caused
by depression over his cancer. His physician says that can't be, his
disease
was in total regression and he had everything to live for.
-
- October 20, 1995 - The CFR has gotten wind of a French
plot to murder Rabin and replace him with Peres. They decide to give Rabin
a last chance. At the UN's 50th anniversary ceremony, Christopher and
special
advisor Dennis Ross remind Rabin that he promised a withdrawal to the
shores
of Lake Kinneret. They want him to meet with Shara and live up to his
commitment.
Rabin loses his cool and lets loose a loud and ugly rant against both of
them. He shouts that he made the Kinneret comment sarcastically and they
knew it. He threatens to pull out of the whole peace process.
-
- One by one, CFR members like Bronfman, Kissinger and
Clinton try to sway Rabin. He gives his answer on the UN podium the next
day, telling the assembled that he comes from Jerusalem, the undivided
capital of Israel and that the real problem in his region wasn't Israel's
stubbornness, it was Arab terrorism. The next day he flew to Washington
and oversaw the passage of two Congressional bills which effectively
neutralized
the Oslo process. One bill declared that Jerusalem would never be divided,
the other cut off American aid to the PLO if it declared a state. The
Americans
decided to keep Rabin ignorant of the French plot against him. Peres had
to be next in line anyway before Barak could replace him.
-
- Nov. 7, 1995 - The leaders of the Anglo-American and
European regimes descend on Rabin's funeral. With Rabin safely entombed,
the squeeze begins to neutralize the French victory. John Major and Prince
Charles arrange a meeting at Orient House for Peres to negotiate directly
with Assad by phone. He turns the meeting down. However, he did promise
Clinton an immediate withdrawal from the South Lebanon security zone and
without an ounce of sentiment for Rabin's mourning period, the president
sends Ross shuttling between Assad and Peres. Assad turns down Peres's
limited offer and Clinton demands a major concession: Peres agrees to
appoint
his bitter rival, Barak, as his Foreign Minister and campaign manager for
the next national elections.
-
- January, 1996 - Rabin's most precious Golan secret is
leaked in detail to the business newspaper Globes. Israel had legal title
to 20,000 acres of Syrian territory, some of it on the Golan Heights. The
media is instructed to bury the story.
-
- February - May, 1996 - Barak and the Americans sabotage
Peres's election campaign through a combination of deliberate incompetence,
suicide bombers and a mini-war in Lebanon which cost Peres the Arab vote.
Peres loses and millions of dollars are funnelled to Barak's successful
campaign to take over the leadership of the Labor Party. The price was
Netanyahu's victory and immediately a campaign of scandal mongering begins
to force him from power. Netanyahu survives the scandals, and freezes the
Golan withdrawal, until the Americans invest their money and talents to
assuring Barak's election in May, 1999.
-
- November, 1999 - On the fourth anniversary of Rabin's
murder, the public demands to know how he really died. Indisputable proof
that the convicted assassin could not have shot the fatal bullets was in
the hands of tens of thousands of people. My book with the documents within
is number three on the bestseller list. Rabin's wife and two children
demand
a new investigation of his assassination. 65% of the public support their
demand. A huge issue was needed to quell the fast-spreading public campaign
to reinvestigate Rabin's demise. The truth would explode the whole peace
process and incriminate the current leadership in atrocious crimes. A
replacement
murder scandal involving publisher Ofir Nimrodi works for a week but
something
far more lasting and devastating was required. An impending withdrawal
from the Golan Heights does the trick.
-
- The end and it could be!"

- NOTES - TiM Ed., Dec. 18: Upon receiving the above piece,
the TiM editor e-mailed the author, Barry Chamish, that we would like to
run it in a TiM GW Bulletin, "but I have two questions for you,"
the TiM editor said:
-
- TiM: "1. Assuming that George Bush, Sr. was no
friend
of Israel, as you outlined (in the above piece), how can you explain to
me why the Clinton administration supposedly continued on the same track,
despite the fact that some 70%+ of his senior officials are Jewish, and
that AIPAC is probably the most powerful lobby group in Washington?
-
- (And please don't answer this just with "CFR,"
because the AIPAC is neither a part of it, nor is financed by the CFR.
I say that because I am sure that you're aware of the fact that many
Americans
are railing against Washington because they think its policies are being
dictated by Israel, not the other way around, despite the tens of billions
of U.S. taxpayers' dollars which have been spent in support of Israel.
By the way, I am not saying this in a confrontational manner; I just want
to try to be able to explain an apparent dichotomy in your piece).
-
- 2. Also, you say, "Bush's administration has already
secretly transferred $5.5 billion to Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein and
is in constant contact with him." When? What are your sources for
this? I have not seen this allegation made anywhere else
before."
-
- ---
-
- To which Chamish replied on Dec. 19:
-
- "You never heard of the Atlanta-based Italian Bank
I think it was BNL that Bush used to funnel billion to Saddam before the
war. Jews in power are chosen for their attitudes. Here is a copy with
an important correction. I'd be pleased if you published it. Best,
Barry"
-
- ---
-
- To which the TiM editor replied the same day:
-
- CHAMISH: "You never heard of the Atlanta-based
Italian
Bank I think it was BNL that Bush used to funnel billion to Saddam before
the war...."
-
- TiM: "Of course, I did. But that was WELL BEFORE
the Gulf War - during Iraq's war with Iran, if my memory serves me right.
Which would make it a Reagan, not a Bush, administration policy.
-
- Plus, as I recall, it involved some Saudi-Arabian
businessmen,
not directly the administration officials, as in the Iran-Contra's case,
for example.
-
- Bush became president only in January 1989. Prior to
that, he was the second fiddle to Reagan. An important second fiddle, mind
you, but nonetheless only a Veep, not a Pres. And Reagan, as I am sure
you know, was NEVER a member of the CFR (or any other globalist
group).
-
- Barry, I will hold off on publishing your piece to give
you a chance to double check your facts, if you so desire."
-
- ---
-
- CHAMISH: "Jews in power are chosen for their
attitudes."
-
- TiM: "Then there are plenty of them nonetheless
(with 'attitudes')."
-
- ---
-
- To which Chamish replied on Dec. 20:
-
- "Sorry but Bush as VP was behind the money transfers
to Saddam. Please refer to Jopel Bainerman's book, Crimes Of A President.
I'm forwarding this to him hoping he'll supply the details. I gave away
my last copy of his book. Barry."
-
- ---
-
- TiM Ed.: We have not received any such details as of
the time of this TiM GW Bulletins publication (Dec. 25), even though we
replied the same day (Dec. 20) to Chamish as follows, copying
Bainerman:
-
- "I understand that, Barry. But one cannot accurately
call it a 'Bush administration' transfer anymore than one can call
Clinton's
crimes a Gore administration legacy. The point being, the buck stops at
the Oval Office, not at the Veep's office."
