- The still unfolding story of Pentagon analyst Lawrence
Franklin and his alleged spying for Israel has attracted wide media attention
and generated considerable discussion. Details of the FBI's investigation
of his activities are still coming to light.
-
- But regardless of the outcome, one thing is certain:
there will be no fundamental change in US policy regarding Israel and the
Middle East.
-
- Support for the Zionist state in both the White House
and the Congress is so fervent that Israel hardly needs bureaucrats such
as Franklin to track the inner workings of the US government. Whether the
president is a Democrat or a Republican, American policy is so tightly
in the grip of politicians and government officials who are ardently dedicated
to Israel and its interests that the Franklin case will make no difference.
-
- In the current administration, a cabal of high-level
pro-Israel "neoconservative" Jews -- including Paul Wolfowitz,
Deputy Secretary of Defense; Richard Perle of the Pentagon's Defense Policy
Board; David Wurmser in the State Department; and Douglas Feith, the Pentagon's
Undersecretary for Policy -- played a decisive role in pushing the United
States into war in Iraq.
-
- This is so widely understood by Washington insiders that
US Senator Ernest Hollings was moved in May to declare that Iraq was invaded
"to secure Israel," and that "everybody" knows it.
Referring to the cowardly reluctance of his Congressional colleagues to
openly acknowledge this reality, Hollings said that "nobody is willing
to stand up and say what is going on." With few exceptions, members
of Congress uncritically support Israel and its policies due to "the
pressures that we get politically," he added.
-
- In Britain, a veteran member of the House of Commons
candidly declared in May 2003 that pro-Israel Jews had taken control of
America's foreign policy, and had succeeded in pushing the US and Britain
into war in Iraq. "A Jewish cabal have taken over the government in
the United States and formed an unholy alliance with fundamentalist Christians,"
said Tam Dalyell, a Labour party deputy known as "Father of the House"
because he is the longest-serving Member of Parliament. "There is
far too much Jewish influence in the United States," he added.
-
- During the 1980s, Admiral Thomas Moorer, former Chairman
of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, spoke with blunt exasperation about the
Zionist hold on Washington:
-
- "I,ve never seen a President -- I don't care who
he is -- stand up to them [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."
