Is Israel Behind The
Bombing In Turkey?

Commentary By Shalom Bloomberg

Hi Jeff,
 
It seems, unfortunately, that the Istanbul bomb attack may really be by the Mossad. I am enclosing 2 articles from my favourite Israeli newspaper Haaretz:
 
1. Haaretz had 3 articles in one hour 'pushing' the bombing on... al Qaeda!!!
 
2. Haaretz and Fox immediately reported the 'news', before anyone else, with the al Qaeda 'conclusion'.
 
WHO GAVE THEM THE INFORMATION?
 
3. Haaretz 'agree' that the Mossad or CIA did it:
 
"An attack of this scope," a senior Israeli security official told Haaretz, "was apparently planned by a large international terror organization... "
 
.....so, it is probably NOT Moslem.
 
4. AND NOW, THE MOST IMPORTANT POINT!
 
The police said IT WAS NOT a suicide bomber (cars were parking). AND!!! The Turkish Foreign Minister said that it was NOT a suicide bomber
 
BUT!!!
 
A few minutes after meeting his Israeli counterpart HE CHANGED HIS MIND!!!
 
WHY? WHO BRIBED HIM?
 
read this: "...Turkish police said the explosive-laden vehicles used in the attacks were not driven by suicide bombers, but Gul later said he believed the attacks were the work of suicide bombers. " 'SUICIDE BOMBER'??? GIVE ME A BREAK !!!
 
How could the Israelis be so stupid? HOW COULD A PARKED CAR BE 'DRIVEN' BY A SUICIDE BOMBER? Is the Israeli IQ being affected by the endless war? Did they lower themselves to the level of the Turks?
 
5. The Jewish Agency is mentioned here few times. It is considered by many to be a Mossad front organization. I doubt that this attack would be executed without their help.
 
This is just a logical conclusion on my part, as a long time student of our Jewish history. So, I hope, Mister Rense, that you will not define me as a 'Self Hating Jew' or guilty of 'Hate crimes' against Israel or Turkey.
 
The only thing you could blame me for, possibly. is being a racist Jew because I really think Moslems are stupid. If they had half of our Jewish brains, they would get rid of all their leaders who are traitors to their nations.
 
6. The Mossad is losing its control over Haaretz!!!! Haaretz here admits that Israel is lying, IT WAS NOT A SUICIDE BOMBER! read this: "Images recorded by surveillance cameras positioned at the Neve Shalom synagogue show an individual parking a red car outside the synagogue and then leaving the area,...."
 
7. AND!!!! READ THIS WONDERFUL MOSSAD SPIN: "Shalom condemned the attacks, suggesting that the negative way in which Israel is portrayed in Europe ultimately contributes to attacks of this kind. "
 
This, of course, is a classic Elders Of Zion Protocol!
 
8. I am tired of analysing this DISHONEST and confused article, so I will stop here.
 
REGARDING THE SECOND ARTICLE BELOW:
 
Now that the whole world knows that Israel blew up the WTC.....(5 Israelis, Video) (and the Senate and Congress are still hiding the 911 facts)
 
This article is an exact copy of the speeches of both former Israeli Prime Ministers after 911. Immediately after 911, they went on a tour of the USA WITH THE EXACT TYPE OF SPEECHES AS THIS ARTICLE!
 
It seems that it is becoming a standard tactic for Israel to attack a country and blame it on "International Terrorism", and immediately fly Israeli officials to that country to 'investigate' the bombing and give 'advice.'
 
The Moslem leaders are so corrupt that they will fully cooperate with Israel as the Turkish Foreign Minister CLEARLY did today.
 
THE ELDERS OF ZION ALWAYS WIN!
 
As one former Israeli MK bluntly said: The Israeli setlements on the Palestinian stolen land will lead us to WW3.
 
I AM SPEECHLESS !
 
Regards,

16/11/2003 PM: Israel has faith in Turkey to catch those behind attacks By <mailto:contact@haaretz.co.il>Amos Harel, <mailto:aluf@haaretz.co.il>Aluf Benn and <mailto:stern@haaretz.co.il>Yoav Stern, Haaretz Correspondents, and News Agencies
 
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon told his cabinet on Sunday morning that the Israeli government has every confidence in the Turkish authorities to catch those behind Saturday's bomb attacks on two synagogues in Istanbul.
 
 
A Turkish newspaper reported on Sunday morning that local police had arrested three suspects in connection with the attacks, in which 23 people were killed and hundreds injured.
 
Israel Radio reported that the paper, Jumhuriet, had identified the suspects as two men and a woman. The woman was also said to be wearing a traditional Muslim headscarf, which is quite uncommon in the mostly secular Muslim state. The Turkish television station NTV, however, reported later on Sunday that two of the people arrested were women.
 
A spokesman for Istanbul police would only say that the investigation into the bombing. He refused to comment on the report of the arrests.
 
In addition, Israel Radio also said that a Saudi newspaper reported on Sunday that the U.S. had passed on information to Turkish authorities some two months ago, warning that terrorists could strike at Israeli or American targets in the country. The paper, al-Watan, said that the U.S. had warned that members of an Islamic extremist group had crossed into Turkey from either Iran or Iraq.
 
Israeli security officials meanwhile arrived in Turkey late Saturday night and were examining the sites of the double bombing.
 
The Israeli team will assist local investigators and will also advise other Israeli and Jewish institutions in the country on security measures.
 
Israeli security officials believe that Al-Qaida, or some affiliated Islamic extremist group, was responsible for the attacks. Hezbollah is not believed to be behind the attack.
 
Al-Qaida is the main suspected, despite a claim by a militant Turkish Islamic group, widely believed to be backed by Iran, that it was responsible for the blasts.
 
Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom flew to Turkey on Sunday to meet with his Turkish counterpart, Abdullah Gul and leaders of the Istanbul Jewish community.
 
"An attack of this scope," a senior Israeli security official told Haaretz, "was apparently planned by a large international terror organization... We are talking about Al-Qaida, or something similar to it. Local extremists in Turkey also probably contributed to the attack."
 
Turkish officials also said Al-Qaida might have had a hand in the attacks. "It is clear that this is a terrorist event with international links," Foreign Minister Gul said. Turkish Interior Minister Abdulkadir Aksu also said that he could not rule out an Al-Qaida link to the explosions.
 
According to the Jewish Agency, six of those killed in the blasts - including an eight-year-old girl - and 80 of those injured have been identified as Jews. The explosions went off at around 9:30 A.M. on Saturday morning.
 
Among the dead are a security guard who stood in front of one of the synagogues, identified as Yoel Cohen Ulcer, 19, and a police officer. The Jewish Agency identified the Jews who were killed at the Beth Israel synagogue as Ulcer; Anet Rubinstein, 8, and her grandmother, Anna Rubinstein, 85; Beto Avraham Varol, about 45; and Yona Romano, about 55. Berta Ozdogan, 35, who Army Radio reported was four months pregnant, was killed in the blast at the Neve Shalom synagogue.
 
The Jewish victims of the attack will be laid to rest on Tuesday.
 
Turkish police said the explosive-laden vehicles used in the attacks were not driven by suicide bombers, but Gul later said he believed the attacks were the work of suicide bombers.
 
In a telephone call to the Anatolia news agency, a caller claiming to be from the Great Eastern Islamic Raiders' Front said the militant group was responsible for the attacks, and promised more. The caller said "the attacks would continue in the future and the reason was that to prevent the oppression against Muslims," Anatolia said.
 
Police have accused the group, also known as IBDA-C, for a bombing attack which injured 10 people in downtown Istanbul on December 31, 2000. However, no one has claimed responsibility for that attack.
 
Images recorded by surveillance cameras positioned at the Neve Shalom synagogue show an individual parking a red car outside the synagogue and then leaving the area, Israeli Radio reported. According to Turkish media, the car exploded shortly afterward.
 
One explosion went off outside the Neve Shalom synagogue, the city's largest. The other severely damaged the Beth Israel synagogue in the affluent district of Sisli, 5 kilometers away, where members of the city's tiny Jewish community live.
 
Twisted metals, shattered windows and debris from partly collapsed synagogues and nearby buildings filled the streets. The scent of smoke and burned bodies filled the air.
 
Television footage showed medical teams carrying away several people, some with bloodied or charred faces. Private NTV television showed the twisted wreckage of a car and a huge crater in front of the Neve Shalom synagogue.
 
Sadettin Gul, an eyewitness, said, "It was like a war zone."
 
It was also reported that many people were sick from ammonia inhalation, possibly related to the attack.
 
Magen David Adom rescue service offered to send medics, blood donations, and equipment to help Turkish rescue workers and medical services.
 
Shalom condemned the attacks, suggesting that the negative way in which Israel is portrayed in Europe ultimately contributes to attacks of this kind.
 
Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan vowed to avenge the attacks. "I condemn this act as an act of terror against humanity," Erdogan told reporters on an official visit to northern Cyprus.
 
The Neve Shalom synagogue is the most important spiritual center for Istanbul's 20,000 Jews. In 1986, gunmen, believed to be Palestinians, attacked the synagogue, killing 22 worshippers and wounding six during a Sabbath service.
 
In 1992, the Iranian-backed Shiite Muslim group Hezbollah carried out a bomb attack against the same synagogue but no one was injured. Another 5,000 Jews live elsewhere in predominantly Muslim Turkey.
 
Jewish sites have been targeted in recent attacks blamed on militants linked to Osama bin Laden's Al-Qaida - notably in Casablanca, Morocco, in May and a Tunisian synagogue bombed in April 2002, that killed 20 people, mainly German tourists.

Shalom says attacks prove terror is at work everywhere
By Haaretz Service
 
Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom arrived in Istanbul on Sunday morning to visit the scenes of Saturday's bomb attacks on two synagogues in the Turkish city in which 23 people were killed and hundreds injured.
 
 
 
Shalom was due to meet with his Turkish counterpart, Abdullah Gul and leaders of the Istanbul Jewish community.
 
Speaking at the start of his visit to Army Radio, Shalom said that in his telephone conversations with Turkish officials, he got the feeling that they had received an 'unexpected knock, they did not believe that this could happen to them in Turkey."
 
Shalom added that this proves that "terror is at work everywhere, and not necessarily in one specific country or another ... I think that the operation here shows both Turkey and other countries in the world that there no place is immune to terrorism. This is not a localized problem for Israel; terror hits New York, Baghdad, Bali, Mombassa, Casablanca and any place where they think that there is perhaps a country with more developed values, values closer to democracy, close to the West. These same extremist groups take measures against such countries, even if they are Muslim or Arab."
 
The foreign minister said that the Turkish authorities were believed that Al-Qaida was behind the bombings, though the matter had not yet been fully investigated. There are still a number of issues which must be examined, he said, pointing out that the final number of dead and injured was still unclear.
 
Shalom praised the close ties between Israel and Turkey, saying that recent visits by officials prove that the ties "are not only stable, but also very deep."
 
He said that his visit to Istanbul was to demonstrate show solidarity with "the Turkish people, the Turkish government and of course the Jewish community ... The message here is that we have a shared fate. We all suffer at the hands of the same, extreme groups who wish to hurt anyone who adopts values of democracy, freedom, equality and the rule of law."
 
He said that he would travel on to Brussels and Vienna to meet with foreign ministers of the EU-member states to discuss, among other things, anti-Semitism and recent events in Europe.
 
On Saturday, Shalom said that the attacks must be seen within the context of the recent spate of anti-Israel and anti-Jewish incitement in the Arab world, as well in light of the recent anti-Israel and anti-Semitic remarks heard in certain European cities in recent months.
 
"Today's terrorist attacks in Istanbul were targeted against Jews who came to pray in a synagogue, a place of worship, prayer and peace, as well as of brotherhood. These attacks were perpetrated against Turkey and the Turkish people, and constitute another link in the chain of global terrorism that has struck Mombasa, Bali, Saudi Arabia, and other targets," Shalom said in a statement.
 
Shalom also said Israel expects the world to exact justice. "Israel expects the entire international community to strongly condemn today's terrorist acts, to take every measure, and to use all means at its disposal to fight terrorism and to bring the perpetrators to justice."
 
Shalom extended his condolences to Turkey and the Turkish people, the Jewish community in Turkey, and the families of the killed, and sent his wishes for a speedy recovery to those injured in Saturday's terrorist attacks in Istanbul.
 
The Foreign Ministry also said it had offered aid to Turkey. The Jewish Agency sent a delegation to Istanbul on Saturday night to help the community. The delegation includes social workers and trauma experts.
