http://www.theweeklyinformant.com/arishavit.htm
When Syndicated columnist and former Presidential candidate Pat Buchanan accused Jewish neo-conservatives and the US-Israeli lobby of pushing America into a war against Israel's enemies, he was also widely denounced as an "anti-Semite." But what are we to make of the many outspoken Jewish writers, Jewish intellectuals and Jewish activists who have been warning us about the exact same thing? Should we dismiss these jews as "anti-Semites" or "self-hating Jews"? Following are some very revealing quotes from
just a few of these Jewish writers and journalists. Joe Klein, Time Magazine, Time.com, February 5, 2003 "A stronger Israel is very much embedded in the rationale for war with Iraq. It is a part of the argument that dare not speak its name, a fantasy quietly cherished by the neo-conservative faction in the Bush Administration and by many leaders of the American Jewish community. The fantasy involves a domino theory. The destruction of Saddam's Iraq will not only remove an enemy of long-standing but will also change the basic power equation in the region. It will send a message to Syria and Iran about the perils of support for Islamic terrorists. It will send a message to the Palestinians too: Democratize and make peace on Israeli terms, or forget about a state of your own." Michael Kinsley, Slate Magazine, October 24, 2002 1. The only country that fears Iraq's WMD's is
Israel; At this perilous juncture in US history, there is
no effective opposition because Zionist Jews appear to control both
parties. The Jewish "Anti Defamation League" considers it a barometer of
anti Semitism to say, "Jews have too much power." But is something anti-
Semitic if it is true? Anti Semitism is racial prejudice. Zionist power is
not a racial prejudice; it is a fact of life. In recent decades, Zionists have succeeded in
making support for Zionism synonymous with "Jewish." They have made Israel
appear to be a vulnerable country facing annihilation in a sea of
bloodthirsty Arabs. In fact, Israel has The powerful pro-Israel lobby in the United
States, which advances Israeli interests by pushing for U.S. aid and
protection to Israel, and, currently, by pressing for a war against Iraq,
which again will serve Israeli interests. Jack Bernstein, Author, The Life of An American Jew in Racist Israel (following prediction was made in 1984!) "The Zionists who rule Israel and the Zionists in
America have been trying to trick the U.S. into a Mideast war on the side
of Israel. They almost succeeded when U.S. Marines were sent to Lebanon in
1982. The blood of the If more Americans are not made aware of the truth
about Zionist Israel, you can be sure that, sooner or later, those
atheists who claim to be God's Chosen People will trick the U.S. into a
Mideast war against the Arabs who in the past have always been America's
best friends. |

▲Congressman:Jews
pushing war Moran issues apology denying remarks anti-Semitic Posted: March 11, 2003 10:30 p.m. Eastern http://ime.nu/www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=31470 A Democratic congressman is under fire for remarks in which he suggested American Jews were behind the push to war with Iraq and Jewish leaders could prevent war if they wanted to. Jewish organizations condemned as "reprehensible" and "anti-Semitic" the comments of Rep. James P. Moran Jr., D-Va., delivered to 120 people attending a forum at St. Anne's Episcopal Church on March 3. |

DONALD Rumsfeld, the US defence secretary and his
deputy Paul Wolfowitz wrote to President Bill Clinton in 1998 urging war
against Iraq and the removal of Saddam Hussein because he is a hazard to
a significant portion of the world's supply of oil.
In the letter, Rumsfeld also calls for America to go to war alone, attacks the United Nations and says the US should not be cippled by a misguided insistence on unanimity in the UN Security Council. Those who signed the letter, dated January 26, 1998, include Bush's current Pentagon adviser, Richard Perle; Richard Armitage, the number two at the State Department; John Bolton and Paula Dobriansky, under-secretaries of state; Elliott Abrams, the presidential adviser for the Middle East and a member of the National Security Council; and Peter W Rodman, assistant secretary of defence for international security affairs. |

THANKS TO THE WTC COLLAPSE THAT BROUGHT A BIG FORTUNE TO ZIONIST
LANDLORDS. A MERE COINCIDENCE OR PROIOR KNOWLEDGE?
Zionist Circles Benefit From WTC Collapse Who benefited when the World Trade Center towers collapsed? Who controlled access prior to Sept. 11? These burning questions continue to be ignored by the mainstream media. Exclusive
to American Free Press Larry Silverstein, lease-holder of the World Trade Center, and Lewis Eisenberg, the man who negotiated the lease, are key supporters of Israel who have both held high positions in the largest Israeli fundraising institution in the United States. Silverstein and his Australian-Israeli partner, Frank Lowy, are the real estate developers who obtained 99-year leases on the rental and retail spaces of the World Trade Center shortly before the catastrophe of Sept. 11. Although their leased property is destroyed, the lease-holders themselves stand to gain billions of dollars from insurance. Eisenberg, the former chairman of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, personally arranged the privatization of the World Trade Center property and oversaw the negotiations that delivered the leases into the private hands of Silverstein and Lowy. Eisenberg was recently appointed finance chairman of the Republican National Committee. How did these well-known supporters of Israel come to control the property? What actually caused the buildings to collapse? There are two schools of thought. There is the “official” theory that hijacked planes crashed into the towers and the subsequent fuel fires caused the twin towers to fall. The second theory, however, argues that other devices, such as explosive charges, were used to collapse the towers in a kind of controlled demolition for which the planes provided a useful distraction. There remain significant amounts of eyewitness testimony and evidence to support the theory that explosives contributed to the collapse of the twin towers and Seven World Trade Center, which fell for no apparent reason during the afternoon of Sept. 11. Seven WTC was a 47-story building built by Silver stein on property leased from the Port Authority. There are video recordings and photographs which appear to show explosions occurring at the base of the towers prior to and during the collapses. In a remarkable three-dimensional image published in the German magazine GEO EPOCHE, which dedicated the December 2001 issue to 9-11, there are five or six large and deep craters to be seen beneath the rubble. At least four huge craters are seen where the twin towers stood and one is squarely at the center of Seven-WTC. Another photograph shows what appears to be a sand-colored blast originating at the base of one of the towers and growing into an immense cloud of dust. If explosive charges were used to collapse the towers, the question of who had access to the buildings prior to 9-11 emerges. Silverstein controlled access to the towers from the end of July when he obtained the 99-year lease. Who Silverstein is and how he obtained these leases for a fraction of their value are questions that have been completely avoided by the mainstream media. Silverstein is the New York City commercial landlord who built Seven World Trade Center in 1987. Silverstein won, with Lowy’s Westfield America, a 99-year right-to-lease of the World Trade Center from Eisenberg, the former chairman of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey on July 26, 2001. While Silverstein controlled the 10.6 million-square-foot office space in the WTC complex, Westfield leased the 427,000 square-foot retail mall. Silverstein and Eisenberg have both held leadership positions with the United Jewish Appeal (UJA), a billion dollar Zionist “charity” organization. Silverstein is a former chairman of United Jewish Appeal Federation of Jewish Philanthropies of New York, Inc. This is an umbrella organization which raises hundreds of millions of dollars every year for its network of hundreds of member Zionist agencies in the United States and Israel. Eisenberg, who was instrumental in obtaining the lease for Silverstein, sits on the Planning Board of UJA/ United Jewish Federation. Eisenberg was the key person in negotiating the lease for Silverstein and Westfield, who were in fact the low bidders in the final bidding process on the 110-story towers. While the high bid came from Vornado Realty Trust, its path was reportedly blocked by demands to pay back taxes. In March 2001 the company pulled out after failing to reach a purchase agreement with Eisenberg. When Vornado pulled out, the door was opened for Silverstein and Lowy. Lowy obtained the retail lease in April while it took Silverstein until the end of July to obtain funding for the down payment. One lender, GMAC Commercial Mortgage Corp., accused Silverstein of misallocating insurance money paid out after the Sept. 11 attack. In a complaint filed on Jan. 14 in the State Supreme Court in Manhattan, the lender, GMAC Commercial Mortgage Corp., asserts that Silver stein used some insurance money to pay lobbyists in Albany and in Washington to try to limit his liability to the victims. Eisenberg is a “New York moneyman” and a former Democrat who supports the liberal wing of the Republican Party. He has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to “pro-choice” Republican candidates. The newly appointed finance chairman for the Republican National Committee, Eisenberg has also served as a vice president of the strong arm of the Israeli lobby, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. When New Jersey Gov. Christine Todd Whitman appointed Eisenberg chairman of the Port Authority in February 1996, Forbes magazine said the formerly disgraced Goldman Sachs partner “got real lucky.” “What a strange political appointment,” the magazine said, “considering the part he played in the sex scandal that rocked Goldman and the financial community in the late 1980s.” Eisenberg quit Goldman Sachs after his secretary accused him of sexually harassing her. “The truth ended up being that, yes, they had a brief affair, but, no, she was never harassed,” Forbes wrote, adding, “all charges were dismissed, though Eisenberg did resign.” Silverstein is engaged in a lawsuit to double his insurance pay-off and may win as much as $7.1 billion from the insurance companies by arguing that the destruction of the towers was two insured events instead of one. The property was insured for $3.55 billion. Silverstein Properties Inc. had asked the judge to rule on the one-loss-or-two issue in a lawsuit against 20 of the 22 insurers on the property. District Judge John S. Martin Jr. rejected a motion for summary judgment in June. A trial is scheduled Sept. 3, although a request for a delay by the insurers is under consideration. While Silverstein Properties, a family-owned business, is “disappointed that the issue was not decided at this time, they are confident that they will prevail at trial,” said Howard Rubenstein, a spokesman for Silverstein. |

RECORDING OF
CUMMUNICATION WITH THE HIJACKED PLANES WAS PURPOSELY DESTROYED WITHOUT
ANYONE LISTENING TO IT.
Poor Judgment Cited in Destruction of 9/11 FAA Tape Fri May 7, 2004 02:12 AM ET By John Crawley WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Air controllers who communicated with or tracked hijacked jets on Sept. 11, 2001, taped their recollections later that day but the recording was destroyed without anyone ever listening to it, a U.S. investigator said on Thursday. Transportation Department Inspector General Kenneth Mead found irregularities in how two Federal Aviation Administration managers at the main air traffic center on New York's Long Island handled the tape and concluded they used poor judgment. The tape dealt specifically with the two aircraft that crashed into the World Trade Center towers. A third hijacked plane struck the Pentagon and a fourth crashed into a field in Pennsylvania. One of the men, a quality assurance manager, destroyed the tape months after it was made. He crushed the single audiocassette in his hand, cut the recording strands into small pieces and threw the debris into different trash cans at the center, Mead said. The FAA agreed with Mead's overall findings and said it was taking disciplinary action against the manager who destroyed the tape. Mead also found the two managers misconstrued a directive from FAA headquarters to save all data and records pertaining to Sept. 11, and criticized them for not alerting their superiors. But the investigation found no evidence of criminal wrongdoing and prosecutors declined to pursue the matter. |

9/11
was a Hoax The American government killed its own people by John Kaminski http://www.serendipity.li/wot/911_a_hoax.htm Opposed by everyone in the world who was not bought off, the illegal invasion of Iraq was undertaken for many reasons — the imminent replacement of the dollar by the euro as the world's primary currency, the tempting lure of untapped oil reserves, the desire to consolidate U.S./Israeli military hegemony over a strategically vital region — but the most important reason was to further obscure questions about the awesome deception staged by the American government that has come to be known as 9/11. 9/11 was a hoax. This is no longer a wild conspiracy assertion; it is a fact, supported by thousands of other verifiable facts, foremost of which are: |

There’s enough evidence to indicate that 9/11 was an inside job. Furthermore, Henry Kissinger’s in charge of discerning fact from fiction in all of this mess. I wouldn’t trust him with the well being of three million Vietnamese citizens or furthering democracy in Chile, so why should anyone trust him with heading up the 9/11 investigation? |

The Fatal Flaw in the
9/11 Coverup By John
Kaminski Know how to tell the difference between the truth and lies of 9/11? If they're talking about hijackers having done the dastardly deed, you know they're part of the sinister coverup extravaganza, wittingly or not. In order for the people of the world to be convinced that Islamic hijackers were responsible for terrible tragedy of 9/11, we need to see some evidence. Not hearsay, innuendo, aspersion or promises of evidence, but real evidence. Otherwise, the whole subject is rightly regarded as a ruse, a setup to conceal the identities of the real culprits, the ones who sit smugly in front of the TV cameras and plot their cynical war on terror — otherwise known as the war on the peoples of the world. Why did FBI director Robert Mueller say very publicly to the Commonwealth Club of San Francisco that nothing on paper connected Arab terrorists to 9/11? I mean, two and half years have passed. And the feds produced 19 names within 72 hours of the disaster. Notice a mathematical inconsistency here? All that has happened since is mere vigilante hysteria, hypothetical scenarios trumpeted ad nauseum by America's notoriously brainwashed Zionist press. Seven or eight of the names on that original list have been found living comfortably in other countries. Why hasn't the FBI made any attempt to correct the errors made on that original list? See for yourself. http://members.fortunecity.com/911/september-eleven/hijackers-alive.htm and http://www.welfarestate.com/911/. |

Retired General Anthony
Zinni : "The war in Iraq partly for Israel's sake." He laid the blame on several senior administration officials - all of whom happen to be Jewish. http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/431562.html Haaretz - Israel News Tue., May 25, 2004 Sivan 5, 5764 Israel Time: 01:26 (GMT+3) Zinni: Criticism of Iraq
war not spurred by anti-Semitism WASHINGTON - Retired
General Anthony Zinni, the Bush administration's former envoy to the
Middle East, charged this week that the administration launched the war in
Iraq partly for Israel's sake. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Zinni said it was "the
worst-kept secret in Washington" that a group of neoconservative thinkers
had pushed for invading Iraq in order to make the Middle East more
democratic ― and
safer for Israel.
The Bush Cabal and Iraq War - Ethnic Response to Criticism Editorial As recently as a week ago, reasonable people still could dismiss as antisemitic conspiracy mongering the claim that Israel's security was the real motive behind the invasion of Iraq. No longer. The allegation has now moved from the fringes into the mainstream. Its advocates can no longer simply be shushed or dismissed as bigots. Those who disagree must now argue the case on the merits. What changed this week, most importantly, was the entry into the debate of the very respectable Anthony Zinni, the retired Marine general and former Middle East mediator. Appearing on CBS News' "60 Minutes" last Sunday, Zinni said it was "the worst-kept secret in Washington" that a group of neoconservative thinkers had pushed for invading Iraq in order to make the Middle East more democratic ― and safer for Israel. "Everybody I talk to in Washington has known and fully knows what their agenda was and what they were trying to do," Zinni said. And in saying it, he changed the terms of the debate. He is not one to be waved off. Saying Zinni has a right to his views is not the same as saying he's right. For our money, the idea that a small group of bureaucrats and ideologues effectively hijacked American policy and cooked up a war is simplistic. Those who sought to topple Saddam Hussein believed he was a threat both to Israel and to America. Nobody was more committed to removing that threat than George Bush. Whatever else may be said of Bush, he has a clear vision of the world ― perhaps too clear ― and he has been consistent in acting on it. He may be driving America's ship of state "over Niagara Falls," as Zinni put it, but he's doing it with his eyes open. The notion that invading Iraq was a neoconservative scheme, foisted on American policy-makers for Israel's benefit, has been simmering just beyond the borders of acceptable politics since the Bush administration began visibly preparing for war in the winter of 2003. Though popular in Europe, the notion was articulated in this country mainly by longtime critics of Israel who could easily be dismissed as conspiracy theorists. The Israel link was mentioned repeatedly in the major media ― "Meet the Press," the Washington Post ― as an idea that was in play, but virtually no mainstream figure would admit to believing it. Most of America took the administration at its word that the drive to war was motivated ― rightly or wrongly ― by a belief that Iraq was hiding weapons of mass destruction and had ties to Al Qaeda. And here is the other shift in the debate. The collapse of the two main justifications for war ― the weapons and the Al Qaeda link ― has left Middle East democratization as the one believable motive. Once that was established, it was only a matter of time before the Israel question resurfaced. Zinni is the second major Washington figure to make the accusation publicly this month. Senator Ernest Hollings, a South Carolina Democrat with an unfortunate history of ethnic slurs, said much the same thing in a newspaper essay May 6 and was roundly attacked for it. Both the Anti-Defamation League and the American Jewish Committee accused him of resurrecting age-old "Jewish conspiracy" myths and demanded that he retract his statement. Instead, Hollings rose on the floor of the Senate on May 20, and repeated his charge. Zinni went public the following Sunday. He didn't have the bully pulpit of the U.S. Senate, but he had something at least as powerful: credibility. A genuine Pentagon star, Zinni is a former chief of the U.S. Central Command, in charge of all American troops in the Middle East. He also served as President Bush's special Middle East envoy in the winter of 2002 and 2003, overseeing Israeli-Palestinian diplomacy during the months that Washington was preparing for war in Iraq. He's not merely theorizing about how American policy was formed; he was there. The truth is, of course, that Zinni is partly right ― but only partly. Securing Israel was one of the war hawks' motives, but not the only one, probably not even the main one. Saddam's regime genuinely threatened the stability of the region, as the United Nations Security Council had unanimously agreed the previous fall. Other threats were growing in seriousness, not least Al Qaeda, which had struck in September 2001 and was seeking to expand its reach. Then, too, the ideological predilections of the Bush administration ― particularly its moral absolutism and its suspicion of international agreements ― hampered its ability to interpret these threats and shape an effective response. More than any other, it is that last factor ― the administration's unilateralism ― that has most colored perceptions of Israel over the past year. By going to war before he had exhausted all diplomatic options, by failing to assemble a genuinely international coalition, by failing to line up moderate Arab support as his father did in 1991, Bush set in motion a catastrophic chain of events that has left the world less stable than it was before. The threat of terrorism has increased, not declined. Movements that were separate and distinct before the war ― Iraqi Baathism, Al Qaeda fundamentalism, Palestinian nationalism ― are making common cause more than ever, becoming the global threat that we had imagined them to be. Jewish institutions around the world have been forced to fortify themselves like military installations. And in the midst of all this stands America ― alone against much of the world ― with Israel by its side, more alone and threatened than it was before. Rep. Nita Lowey told the Forward this week that because of Bush's policies, Jews are less safe than they were. Stating that fact doesn't lessen the responsibility of those who threaten and attack Jews. It merely acknowledges the staggering ineptitude of the administration in meeting those threats. Bush surely didn't mean to make things worse, but that's what he did. And now the greatest irony: As Americans become bitter over these catastrophic events, they may yet vent their anger on the oldest scapegoat of all. The line between legitimate debate and scapegoating is a fine one. Friends of Israel will be tempted to guard that line by labeling as antisemites those who threaten to cross it. They already have begun to do so. But it is a mistake. Israel and its allies stand accused of manipulating America's public debate for their own purposes. If they were to succeed in suppressing debate to protect themselves, it only would prove the point. Better to follow the democratic path: If there is bad speech, the best reply is more speech. Besides, the fight
already may have been lost. Exposing antisemites can be an effective
weapon when it succeeds in shaming the bigots, or isolating them. These
days, as we learned from Mel Gibson, those who stand accused of
antisemitism seem increasingly able to portray themselves as victims ― as
Hollings and Zinni already have done. It is not Israel's enemies but its
friends that are isolated. That's another thing that's changed. |

Former U.S. envoys want Bush
voted out 26 ex-diplomats, military officers join in crusade Say U.S. president hurting American security interests HARRY DUNPHY ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON—A group of 26 retired U.S. diplomats and military officers said yesterday that President George W. Bush should be voted out of office in November for damaging U.S. national security interests and America's standing in the international community. "Today we see that structure crumbling under an administration blinded by ideology and a callous indifference to the world around it," said Phyllis Oakley, former assistant secretary of state for intelligence and research. "Never before have so many of us felt the need for a major change in the direction of our foreign policy." Retired Gen. Merrill A. "Tony" McPeak, former air force chief of staff, said Bush anticipated a rosy reception after a military victory in Iraq but "we were totally unprepared for the post-combat occupation. So we see here unfolding before us a total disaster." Charles Freeman, former ambassador to Saudi Arabia during the first Persian Gulf war, said the administration's handling of wider relations with the Islamic world was particularly damaging to U.S. interests. The group, which calls itself Diplomats and Military Commanders for Change, did not explicitly endorse Democrat John Kerry for president in its statement. But one of its members said Sunday "it goes more or less without saying." The Bush campaign said at least 20 members of the group have been involved in partisan political activities in the past. "It is not surprising that John Kerry has the support of a group of people who share his belief that the threat of terror is exaggerated," Bush spokesperson Steve Schmidt said. "This is a group that shares John Kerry's pre-Sept. 11 world view and supports John Kerry's failed ideas for treating terrorism as a matter mainly for law-enforcement and intelligence." Among the group are 20 ambassadors, appointed by presidents of both parties, other former U.S. State Department officials and military leaders whose careers span three decades. Prominent members include retired Marine Gen. Joseph P. Hoar, commander of U.S. forces in the Middle East during the administration of Bush's father; retired Adm. William J. Crowe Jr., ambassador to Britain under president Bill Clinton and chairman of the joint chiefs of staff under president Ronald Reagan; and retired Adm. Stansfield Turner, former head of the Central Intelligence Agency. |
