- The history of Israel as a geopolitical fraud will fill
entire libraries asthose defrauded marvel at how so few deceived so many
for so long. Those duped include many naive Jews who "even now"
identify their interests with this extremist enclave. Israeli leaders are
wrong to worry about "de-legitimization."
-
- They are right to fear that a long-deceived public is
fast realizing that Israel's founding was key to an ongoing deception.
The Invention of the Jewish People did not begin with Shlomo Sand's 2009
bestseller by that title. There was no Exile says this Jewish scholar.
Nor was there an Exodus. So how could there be a Return, the core premise
of Israeli statehood? If this patch of Palestinian land never rightly belonged
to a mythical Jewish People, what then for the legitimacy of the "Jewish
homeland."
-
- And for that depiction by British Foreign Secretary Arthur
Balfour in his November 1917 letter to Lord Rothschild? Were Christians
likewise seduced by Sunday school teachings reliant on the phony findings
of Biblical archeologist William Albright? Shlomo Sand chronicles how in
the 1920s Albright interpreted every excavation in Palestine to "reaffirm
the Old Testament and thereby the New." In 1948, President Harry Truman,
a Christian Zionist, was advised by Secretary of State George Marshall
not to recognize this enclave as a state.
-
- This WWII general assured Truman that he would vote against
him? and did. That military tradition resurfaced in January 2010 when General
David Petraeus dispatched a team to brief Admiral Michael Mullen, chairman
of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, on the perils that Israel still poses to
U.S. national security. Mullen was reportedly shocked. See: The Petraeus
Briefing. He should not have been surprised. Such insights are hardly new. More
than six decades ago the Joint Chiefs of Staff cautioned Truman about the
"fanatical concepts of the Jewish leaders" and their plans for"Jewish
military and economic hegemony over the entire Middle East."
-
- In December 1948, Albert Einstein and 27 prominent Jews
urged us "not to support this latest manifestation of fascism."
They warned that a "Leader State" was the goal of the "terrorist
party"that has governed Israel over all but a handful of the past
62 years. The Joint Chiefs foresaw the "Zionist strategy will seek
to involve [the U.S.] in a continuously widening and deepening series of
operations intended to secure maximum Jewish objectives."
-
- Soon after Truman recognized Israel, his presidential
campaign train was "refueled" by Zionist Jews with $400,000 in
contributions ($3.6 million in 2010 dollars). Soon thereafter, Israel betrayed
the U.S. by allying with the British and the French to invade Egypt. Though
London and Paris soon abandoned the operation, months more were required
to dissuade Tel Aviv from pursuing their expansionist agenda then (as now)
for Greater Israel.
-
- Outraged by Israeli duplicity, Eisenhower sought help
to rein them in. He soon found that even then (as now) the Israel lobby
dominated Congress. Thus the former Supreme Allied Commander appeared on
television with an appealdirectly to the American people. Then-unlike now-a
U.S. Commanderin Chief threatened to reduce assistance to Israel.
-
- To revamp Israel's tattered image, New York public relations
expert Edward Gottlieb retained novelist Leon Uris to write Exodus. Jewish
Zionists have routinely proven themselves skilled storytellers and masterful
mythmakers. This 1958 bestseller was translated into dozens of languages
and quickly made into a movie for the 1960 Christmas season starring Paul
Newman and featuring Peter Lawford, brother-in-law of the just-elected
President John F. Kennedy. See: Timefor an American Intifada? The Myth
of a Loyal Ally Phil Tourney survived the June 8, 1967 Israeli attack on
the USS Liberty that left 34 Americans dead and 175 wounded.
-
- The region-wide dynamics accompanying that provocative
Six-Day land grab guaranteed the conflicts that remain so perilous to U.S.
national security. It was during this Israeli operation that Tourney gave
a one-fingered salute to armed Israeli troops as they hovered in helicopters
over the USS Liberty while preparing to rappel to the deck and, he surmises,
kill the survivors and sink the ship. Just then the captain aboard a nearby
U.S. carrier scrambled jets to assist a vessel under attack by an "ally."
-
- When Israeli intelligence intercepted the transmission,
the helicopters fled only to have President Lyndon Johnson and Defense
Secretary Robert McNamara recall our fighters. Soon thereafter, Israeli
torpedo boats pulled alongside the USS Liberty to inquire if those aboard
needed assistance.
-
- Those same boats had just blown a hole in the hull, killing
25 Americans. Israeli machine-gunners had then strafed stretcher-bearers,
firemen, life rafts and even the firehoses?all clear war crimes. Only then
did this ally display the chutzpah to ask if our servicemen required assistance.
Had that notorious land grab failed to advance the narrative of Israel
as the victim, what might be the condition of U.S. national security today?
-
- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently conceded
the duplicity that continues to typify this "special relationship."
As he confessed: "Our policy on Jerusalem is the same policy followed
by all Israeli governments for 42 years, and it has not changed. As far
as we are concerned, building in Jerusalem is the same as building in Tel
Aviv." In other words, the 1967 war was neither defensive nor preemptive
but an outright taking of land that, one year later, Tel Aviv acknowledged
as precisely what concerned the Pentagon 62 years ago.
-
- In effect, Netanyahu confirmed that this relationship
reflects multi-decadepremeditation. The U.S. has since discredited itself
by protecting this "ally" from the rule of law for its taking
and brutal occupation ofland that rightly belongs to others. Even now,
few know that Mathilde Krim, a former Irgun operative, was"servicing"
our Commander-in- Chief in the White House the night the1967 war began.
Her husband, Arthur, then chaired the finance committee for theDemocratic
National Committee. Even now, few Americans know the role in that cover-up
played by AdmiralJohn McCain, Jr. Or the role still played in this sordid
history by his son, Republican Senator John McCain III. See: McCain Family
Secret.
-
- Are those who champion this "state" the same
belief-makers responsible for the myth of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction?
Iraqi meetingsin Prague? Iraqi mobile biological weapons laboratories?
High-level Iraqi contacts with Al Qaeda? Iraqi yellowcake uranium from
Niger? Was any of that intelligence legitimate? Whose interests were served
by deceiving the U.S. to wage war in the Middle East? By the Suez Crisis?
By theSix-Day War? By covering up the attack on the USS Liberty? Adhering
to an Enemy? How are U.S. interests served by treating Israel as a legitimate
state?
-
- When was Israeli behavior anything other than duplicitous?
At what point do we concede the common source of the storylines foisted
on an imperiled global public? Who created the narrative that saw us segue
seamlessly from a global Cold War to a global War on Terrorism? Remember
the promise of a post-Cold War "peace dividend"? Who induced
the U.S. to wage a war whose costscould total $3 trillion, including $700
billion in interest? Why is debt always the prize?
-
- At the end of WWII, the U.S. was home to 50% of the world's
productive power. Were we induced to hollow out our economy by the same
consensus-shapers that induced us to wage war in the Middle East? Do these
devastating dynamics trace to a common source? Who benefits from the "Islamo"
fascist narrative? Whose story line really is The Clash of Civilizations?
Who has long spied on the U.S. and routinely transferred to other nations
our most sensitive defense technologies? Who had the means, motive, opportunity
and, importantly, the stable nation state intelligence required to perpetrate
such a debilitating fraud frominside the U.S. government? And from inside
other governments that joined the "coalition of the willing"?
If not Israel and its supporters?who? In effect, are those now advocating
an "unbreakable bond" with Israel giving aid and comfort to an
enemy within?
-
- Israel is right to worry. It was never legitimate. As
both an enabler and a target of this fraud, the U.S. has an obligation
to concede its source?and to secure the weapons of mass destruction now
under the control of this enclave.
