Rassinier seems to wrap it up.
When police in Italy were frustrated by lack of action by the authorities
they released some of the video footage to an Italian network which then
showed some of the graphic images hoping to cause
public outrage. Instead of outrage against the Jewish murderers the TV
producers suffered outrage for showing the disturbing images.
YES ALL THE JEWS WORIED ABOUT THEIR REPUTATION BEING WHAT IT SHOULD BE.
DISGUSTING.

In spite of the horror and obvious newsworthiness of this international
Jewish child porn/murder operation, it received littlecoverage in the media
in the United States.
AS I SAID YOU WOULD NOT EVEN HEAR ABOUT IT WITH ALL THE JEWS RINGING UP TO
COMPLAIN ABOUT THE HORRID IMAGES.
When Seth Bekenstein, the ring's American distributor was arrested, there
was little publicity, and in spite of being a part of one of the most
horrific criminal activities imaginable, HE WAS SENTENCED TO ONLY 18 MONTHS
ON GUILTY PLEA.
WONDER IF IT HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH HIS BEING JEWISH?

Jewish officials in a major Italian news agency tried to cover the story
up, but were circumvented by Italian news reporters, who broadcast scenes
from the films live at prime time on Italian television to more than 11
million Italian viewers. Jewish officials then fired the executives
responsible, claiming they were spreading "blood libel."

SHAME CHRISTIANS ARE ONLY INTERESTED IN ABORTION PRACTICES???
An Israeli Knesset member says there is evidence showing that deceased
Palestinians were stripped bare of their vital organs while in police
custody in Tel Aviv.
Israeli politician and leader of the Arab nationalist party, Ahmad
Tibi, said on Saturday that a medical institution in Israel harvested
appendages from the bodies of dead Palestinians in the 1990's.
According to Tibi, the body parts, which included heart arteries,
bones, and corneal tissue, were used in organ transplants for Israeli
soldiers.
Meanwhile, the Israeli television has shown a documentary in this
regard, claiming that Israeli politician and Knesset member Aryeh
Eldad was the main culprit behind the bodysnatching incident.
The organ theft issue was first brought to the fore in a report
published earlier in August by Sweden's largest circulation daily,
Aftonbladet.
According to the report, Israeli soldiers were snatching and killing
Palestinian men to harvest their organs for sale on the black market.
It sheds light on the case of Bilal Ahmed Ghanem, a 19-year-old
Palestinian man, who was shot dead in 1992 by Israeli forces in the
West Bank village of Imatin.
The reported claimed that Ghanem's body was then abducted and returned
several days later by the Israeli military with a cut from the stomach
to the neck that had been stitched up.
When asked what happened to the body, the soldiers told Bilal's family
that he had undergone an autopsy in Tel Aviv. The family, however,
claims that his organs had been stolen.
After the incident, at least 20 Palestinian families told Bostrom that
they suspected that the Israeli military had taken the organs of their
sons after they had been killed by Israeli forces and their bodies
were taken away.
The Israeli Foreign Ministry reacted with anger to the report, calling
it "a grotesque libel to incite anti-Semitic sentiments."
Their anger was widely believed to be due to the fact that it had made
reference to the recent arrests in New Jersey of several prominent US
Jews for a number of alleged crimes, including brokering the sale of
organs for transplant.
In 2004, pathologist Yehuda Hiss was removed from his post as head of
the state-run L. Greenberg Institute of Forensic Medicine after a
Health Ministry investigation found that he had been involved for
years in taking body parts, such as legs and ovaries, without family
permission during autopsies, and selling them to medical schools for
use in research and training.
This is while in July 2009, a New York Rabbi, Levy Izhak Rosenbaum,
was arrested after it became clear that he was the main broker for a
major human organs trafficking ring.
According to Knesset Member Muhammad Baraka there are more than 600
dead Palestinians' bodies buried in what Israel calls 'the number
graveyards', which were created for freedom fighters Palestinians
killed in combat with the Israeli army.
Baraka requested in August that Israel return the bodies to their
families, but his demand is yet to be taken into account by Israeli
authorities.

2000 YEARS OF TERROR
THE COMPILATION OF JEWISH RITUAL MURDERS FROM BEFORE THE TIME OF
CHRIST UNTIL 1932
The earliest of historians, Herodotus, informs us about the Hebrew
cult of human sacrifice. He writes: "The Hebrews sacrificed humans to
their God Moloch." (Herodotus, Vol. II, p. 45) Christ said to the
Jews: "Your father was a murderer from the beginning." (John 8:44) By
this he meant Moloch-Yahweh, the supreme Jewish Devil-God. Also, the
prophets Isaiah (57:5), Jeremiah (7:30- 31), Ezekiel (26:26-30), and
Micah (6:7) reproached the Jews for their abominable offerings. Isaiah
said:
"You enflame yourselves with idols under every green tree, slaying the
children in the valleys under the cliffs of the rocks!"
The ritual murders that have been passed down through writings since
before the time of Christ until today are:
169 B.C. -- "King Antiochus Epiphanes of Syria, during the plundering
of the Temple of Jerusalem, found a Greek lying on a bed in a secret
chamber. He begged the King to rescue him. When he began to beg, the
attendants told him that a secret law commanded the Jews to sacrifice
human beings at a certain time annually. They therefore searched for a
stranger which they could get in their power. They fattened him, led
him into the woods, sacrificed him, ate some of his flesh, drank some
of his blood, and threw the remains of his body into a
ditch." (Josephus, Jewish historian, Contra Apionem)

1071 A.D. -- Several Jews from Blois crucified a child during the
Easter celebration, put his body into a sack and threw it into the
Loire. Count Theobald had the guilty ones burned alive. (Robert of
Mons, Mon. Germ. hist. Script VI 520)
1144 A.D. -- In Norwich, during Passover, 12-year-old St. William was
tied by the local Jews, hanged from a cross, and his blood drained
from a wound in his side. The Jews hid the corpse in the nearby woods.

money to keep quiet. Despite this the crime still became notorious.

name of St. Paul.

President, Bartholomaus Winkler, who was in debt to the Jews, was
afraid to bring the criminals to justice.
1877 A.D. -- In the village of Szalaacs, in the country of Bihar
(Hungary), Josef Klee's 6-year-old niece, Theresia Szaabo, and his 9-
year-old nephew, Peter Szaabo, were murdered by the Jews. However, a
Jewish doctor held the inquest, who declared the children were not
murdered, thus ending the affair. (M. Onody, ebenda.)
1879 A.D. -- In Budapest, before the Purim feast, a young servant girl
in the Jewish Quarter was put to sleep with a drink. 24 hours after
the feast, she woke up so weak she could hardly walk. On her right

red circular wounds like spots of blood, with small openings in the
center. Blood had been drained from her. (M. Onody, ebenda.)
1879 A.D. -- At Kutais in the Caucasus, 4 Jewish image sellers killed
a 6- year-old girl. Between her fingers had been cut with a knife; on

Baruch family, prime suspects in the murder, were arrested, but later
released. (Civita cattolica, von des. 1881)
1881 A.D. -- In the Galician town of Lutscha, the Polish maid servant
Franziska Muich, who worked for the Jewish tavern-keeper Moses Ritter,
and had been raped by him, was murdered by Moses and his wife, Gittel
Ritter, according to the testimony of the farmer Mariell Stochlinski.
(Otto Glogau, der Kulturk. Heft. 128. 15. Febr. 1886)
1882 A.D. -- At Tisza-Eszlar, shortly before the Jewish Passover, the
14- year-old Christian girl Esther Solymosi disappeared. Since the
girl was last seen nearby the synagogue, suspicion was directed
immediately on the Jews. The two sons of the temple-servant Josef
Scharf, 5-year-old Samuel and the 14-year- old Moritz, accused their
father and stated that Esther was led into the Temple and butchered
there. The corpse of the girl was never found.
1882 A.D. -- At Galata, the ghetto of Constantinople, a child was
enticed into a Jewish house where more than 20 people saw her go in.
On the following day a corpse was found in the Golden Horn causing a
great agitation among the Christian and Moslem population.
1882 A.D. -- A short time later another very similar case transpired
in Galata. Serious, a distinguished lawyer of the Greek community,
sent a petition to the representatives of all the Christian European
powers at Constantinople so that justice might be done: but the Jews
bribed the Turkish police, who allowed certain documents in the case
to disappear. Bribed doctors declared the mother of the kidnapped and
murdered child to be mentally deranged.
1883 A.D. -- Once more a ritual murder occurred in Galata. The police,
bribed with Jewish money, prevented an investigation. The newspaper
Der Stamboul, which strongly spoke out against the guilty ones, was
suppressed. This suppression cost the Jews 140,000 francs.
1884 A.D. -- At Sturz (West Prussia) the dismembered body of 14-year-
old Onophrius Cybulla was found one January morning under a bridge.
According to the doctor's opinion, the dismemberments showed great
expertise and dexterity in the use of the knife. Although the murdered
boy had been strong and plethoric, the dead body was completely
bloodless. Immediately suspicion fell on various Jews, and during the
investigation some very troublesome facts emerged. These, however,
were not considered sufficient and the arrested Jews were released.
(Otto Glagau, der Kulturki, Heft 119. 15. Mai 1885)
1885 A.D. -- At Mit-Kamar in Egypt a young Copt was butchered for the
Easter celebrations.
1888 A.D. -- At Breslau in July, a crime was committed by Max
Bernstein, a 24-year-old Rabbinical candidate at the Talmudic college,
against a 7-year-old boy, Severin Hacke, whom Bernstein had enticed
into his room. Bernstein withdrew blood from the boy's sex organ.
After the judge's verdict Bernstein confessed: "The Bible and the
Talmud teach that the gravest of sins can only be atoned for through
innocent blood." Therefore, he had withdrawn blood from the boy. The
Jews recognized the danger and declared Bernstein to be a 'religious
maniac.'
1891 A.D. -- Murder of a boy at Xanten, on the Rhine. The 5-year-old
robust boy of the Catholic cabinet-maker, Hegemann, was found in the
evening at 6 o'clock on June 29th, by the maid Dora Moll, in the cow
shed of the town councilor Kuppers, with his legs spread apart, laying
on his side with a circular formed ritual cut, carried out by a
skilled hand, and bled white. The boy was already missed at 10:30 in
the morning. He was seen by 3 witnesses being pulled into the house of
the Jewish butcher Buschoff.
1899 A.D. -- On March 26th the single 19-year-old seamstress, Agnes
Kurza, was slaughtered by the hand of the Jewish butcher Leopold
Hilsner. The corpse was found bloodless. The murderer was sentenced to
death by the court of Kuttenberg.
1900 A.D. -- At Konitz (West Prussia) on the 11th of March 1900, the
18- year-old college freshman, Ernst Winter, was bestially murdered.
Two days later pieces of his dismembered body were fished out of the
Monschsee; almost five days later, on April 15th, the first Easter
holy day, his head was found by children playing in the bushes. The
corpse was completely bloodless. Winter was ritually murdered. The
murder was carried out in the cellar of the Jewish Butcher, Moritz
Levi, after the victim had been lured there by a young Jewess. On the
day of the murder, a large number of foreign Jews were in Konitz who
departed the next day without any plausible reason being given for
their visit. Among them were the butchers Haller from Tuchel,
Hamburger from Schlochau, Eisenstedt from Prechlau and Rosenbaum from
Ezersk. The Konitz butcher Heimann disappeared shortly after the
murder.
1911 A.D. -- The 13-year-old schoolboy, Andrei Youshchinsky was
murdered in Kiev on March 12th. After eight days, his corpse was found
in a brickyard completely slashed to pieces and bloodless. Suspicion
fell on the Jewish manager of the brickyard, Mendel Beiliss. The case
did not come to trial until two and a half years later (Sept. 29th to
Oct. 28th, 1913). In the intervening period numerous attempts were
made to lead the investigating officers on to the wrong track.
Meanwhile a large number of incriminating witnesses suffered sudden
and unnatural deaths; false accusations and confessions followed one
after another due to huge money bribes. Behind the accused lurking in
the shadows, was the figure of Faivel Schneerson of the Lubavitchers,
leader of the 'Zadiks' ('Saints') of the Chassidim sect, who was the
spiritual director of the murder. The trial ended with the release of
Beiliss, but at the same time the court established that the murder
had taken place inside the Jewish brickyard, which was the religious
center of the Kiev Jews, for the purpose of obtaining blood. Almost
all the prosecutors, witnesses, and authorities who had spoken out
against Judaism, later fell victim to the Bolshevik Terror.
(Ausfuhrliche Darstellungen des Proze�es enthalten 'Hammer' Nr. 271,
273, 274, 275; Oktober bis Dezember 1913)
1926 A.D. -- The bodily remains of the children Hans and Erika Fehse
were found in a parcel on the public square in Breslau. The children
had been butchered. The corpses were bloodless. The genitals were
missing. The Jewish butcher was believed the culprit. He disappeared
without a trace.
1928 A.D. -- The college sophomore Helmut Daube was butchered on the
night of the 22nd-23rd of March, 1928. In the morning, the blood-
drained corpse lay in front of his parents home. (cf. 'Der Sturmer')

butchered and bloodless on March 17th, 1929, several days before
Passover. (cf. 'Der Sturmer')
1932 A.D.-- Martha Kaspar was butchered and dismembered at Paderhorn
on March 18th, 1932. The pieces of the corpse were drained of blood.
The Jew, Moritz Meyer, was convicted and received 15 years in prison.

Liberating America From Israel
Issues; Posted on: 2007-04-10
[ Printer friendly / Instant flyer ]
"For 35 years, not a word has been expressed in that committee
or in either chamber of Congress that deserves to be called
debate on Middle East policy."
By Paul Findley
Nine-eleven would not have occurred if the U.S. government had refused
to help Israel humiliate and destroy Palestinian society. Few express
this conclusion publicly, but many believe it is the truth. I believe
the catastrophe could have been prevented if any U.S. president during
the past 35 years had had the courage and wisdom to suspend all U.S.
aid until Israel withdrew from the Arab land seized in the 1967
Arab-Israeli war.
The U.S. lobby for Israel is powerful and intimidating, but any
determined president - even President Bush this very day - could
prevail and win overwhelming public support for the suspension of aid
by laying these facts before the American people:
Israel's present government, like its predecessors, is determined to
annex the West Bank - biblical Judea and Sumaria - so Israel will
become Greater Israel. Ultra-Orthodox Jews, who maintain a powerful
role in Israeli politics, believe the Jewish Messiah will not come
until Greater Israel is a reality. Although a minority in Israel, they
are committed, aggressive, and influential. Because of deep religious
conviction, they are determined to prevent Palestinians from gaining
statehood on any part of the West Bank.
In its violent assaults on Palestinians, Israel uses the pretext of
eradicating terrorism, but its forces are actually engaged advancing
the territorial expansion just cited. Under the guise of
anti-terrorism, Israeli forces treat Palestinians worse than cattle.
With due process nowhere to be found, hundreds are detained for long
periods and most are tortured. Some are assassinated. Homes, orchards,
and business places are destroyed. Entire cities are kept under
intermittent curfew, some confinements lasting for weeks. Injured or
ill Palestinians needing emergency medical care are routinely held at
checkpoints for an hour or more. Many children are undernourished. The
West Bank and Gaza have become giant concentration camps. None of this
could have occurred without U.S. support. Perhaps Israeli officials
believe life will become so unbearable that most Palestinians will
eventually leave their ancestral homes.
Once beloved worldwide, the U.S. government finds itself reviled in
most countries because it provides unconditional support of Israeli
violations of the United Nations Charter, international law, and the
precepts of all major religious faiths.
How did the American people get into this fix?
Nine-eleven had its principal origin 35 years ago when Israel's U.S.
lobby began its unbroken success in stifling debate about the proper
U.S. role in the Arab-Israeli conflict and effectively concealed from
public awareness the fact that the U.S. government gives massive
uncritical support to Israel.
Thanks to the suffocating influence of Israel's U.S. lobby, open
discussion of the Arab-Israeli conflict has been non-existent in our
government all these years. I have firsthand knowledge, because I was
a member of the House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee in
June 1967 when Israeli military forces took control of the Golan
Heights, a part of Syria, as well as the Palestinian West Bank and
Gaza. I continued as a member for 16 years, and to this day maintain a
close watch on Congress.
For 35 years, not a word has been expressed in that committee or in
either chamber of Congress that deserves to be called debate on Middle
East policy. No restrictive or limiting amendments on aid to Israel
have been offered for 20 years, and none of the few offered in
previous years received more than a handful of votes. On Capitol Hill,
criticism of Israel, even in private conversation, is all but
forbidden, treated as downright unpatriotic, if not anti-Semitic. The
continued absence of free speech was assured when those few who spoke
out - Senators Adlai Stevenson and Charles Percy, and Reps. Paul
"Pete" McCloskey, Cynthia McKinney, Earl Hilliard, and myself - were
defeated at the polls by candidates heavily financed by pro-Israel forces.
As a result, legislation dealing with the Middle East has been heavily
biased in favor of Israel and against Palestinians and other Arabs
year after year. Home constituencies, misled by news coverage equally
lop-sided in Israel's favor, remain largely unaware that Congress
behaves as if it were a subcommittee of the Israeli parliament.
However, the bias is widely noted beyond America, where most news
media candidly cover Israel's conquest and generally excoriate
America's complicity and complacency. When President Bush welcomed
Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, sometimes called the Butcher of
Beirut, as "my dear friend" and "a man of peace" after Israeli forces,
using U.S.-donated arms, completed their devastation of the West Bank
last spring, worldwide anger against American policy reached the
boiling point.
The fury should surprise no one who reads foreign newspapers or
listens to BBC. In several televised statements long before 9/11,
Osama bin Laden, believed by U.S. authorities to have masterminded
9/11, cited U.S. complicity in Israel's destruction of Palestinian
society as a principal complaint. Prominent foreigners, in and out of
government, express their opposition to U.S. policies with
unprecedented frequency and severity, especially since Bush announced
his determination to make war against Iraq.
The lobby's intimidation remains pervasive. It seems to reach every
government center, and even houses of worship and revered institutions
of higher learning. It is highly effective in silencing the many U.S.
Jews who object to the lobby's tactics and Israel's brutality.
Nothing can justify 9/11. Those guilty deserve maximum punishment, but
it makes sense for America to examine motivations promptly and as
carefully as possible. Terrorism almost always arises from deeply-felt
grievances. If they can be eradicated or eased, terrorist passions are
certain to subside.
Today, a year after 9/11, President Bush has made no attempt to
redress grievances, or even to identify them. In fact, he has made the
scene far worse by supporting Israel's religious war against
Palestinians, an alliance that has intensified anti-American anger. He
seems oblivious to the fact that nearly two billion people worldwide
regard the plight of Palestinians as today's most important
foreign-policy challenge.
No one in authority will admit a calamitous reality that is skillfully
shielded from the American people but clearly recognized by most of
the world: America suffered 9/11 and its aftermath and may soon be at
war with Iraq, mainly because U.S. policy in the Middle East is made
in Israel, not in Washington.
Israel is a scofflaw nation and should be treated as such. Instead of
helping Sharon intensify Palestinian misery, our president should
suspend all aid until Israel ends its occupation of Arab land Israel
seized in 1967. The suspension would force Sharon's compliance or lead
to his removal from office, as the Israeli electorate will not
tolerate a prime minister who is at odds with the White House.
If Bush needs an additional reason for doing the right thing, he can
justify the suspension as a matter of military necessity, an essential
step in winning international support for his war on terrorism. He can
cite a worthy precedent. When President Abraham Lincoln issued the
proclamation that freed only the slaves in states that were then in
rebellion, he made the restriction because of "military necessity." If
Bush suspends U.S. aid, he will liberate all Americans from long years
of bondage to Israel's misdeeds.

Is there a First Amendment right to engage in espionage? Dorothy Rabinowitz
seems to think so. Describing the actions of Steve Rosen and Keith Weissman,
two former top officials of AIPAC, the premier Israel lobbying group, who
passed purloined intelligence to Israeli government officials, the Pulitzer
Prize-winning journalist characterized them as "activities that go on every
day in Washington, and that are clearly protected under the First
Amendment." If what Rabinowitz says is true-if passing classified
information to foreign officials is routine in the nation's capital-then we
are all in big trouble.
On Aug. 4, 2005, Rosen, Weissman, and Pentagon analyst Larry Franklin were
indicted by a federal grand jury and charged with violating provisions of
the Espionage Act that forbid divulging national defense information to
persons not authorized to receive it. The indictment traces the treasonous
trio's circuitous path as they met in the shadows-in empty restaurants, at
Union Station in Washington, on street corners. Rosen and Weissman sought
out and cultivated Franklin, milking him for information that they dutifully
transmitted to their Israeli handlers. According to Rabinowitz, however,
they were merely "doing what they had every reason to view as their
jobs"-which is true, assuming they understood their jobs to be spying for
Israel.
The trial is scheduled to begin June 7. As the day of reckoning approaches,
the Israel lobby is ratcheting up the rhetoric. So, too, is the defense: in
a duet of hysterical accusations and frenzied rationalizations, the accused
spies' defenders have described the proceedings as a frame-up, the result of
an intra-bureaucratic struggle within the government, and a plot by
anti-Semites in Bush's Justice Department to carry out a Washington pogrom.
None of these flights of imagination are any more convincing than the Dream
Team's defense of O.J. Simpson. Yet the noise level continues to rise, as if
sheer volume, instead of logical arguments, could overwhelm the copious
evidence of the defendants' guilt.
The indictment lists numerous acts of espionage, dating back to 1999, in
which Rosen and/or Weissman acted as conduits for classified information
flowing from Washington to Tel Aviv. The feds had been watching for a long
time: the indictment makes clear that Rosen and Weissman didn't make a move
without the FBI's counterintelligence unit knowing about it. This
surveillance is how they happened on Larry Franklin, the Pentagon's top Iran
analyst, who walked in on a luncheon meeting in Arlington, Virginia,
attended by Rosen, Weissman, and Naor Gilon, chief of the political-affairs
section at the Israeli Embassy. The feds were listening in as
Franklin-referring to a document dated June 25 and marked "top
secret"-announced he had secrets to tell.
Tell not sell: unlike the majority of post-Cold War spies, the
AIPAC-Franklin espionage ring wasn't centered around financial gain but
ideology. Franklin is a dedicated neoconservative, a minor yet key player in
the neocon network, who served in the military attache's office in the U.S.
Embassy in Tel Aviv in the late 1990s and was a Defense Intelligence Agency
analyst with expertise in Iranian affairs working in Douglas Feith's policy
shop.
The counter-intelligence unit was hot on Franklin's trail, and they watched
his every move-his wholesale transfer of top-secret information on Iran,
al-Qaeda, and other intelligence of interest to Israel to Rosen and
Weissman, who funneled it to their contacts in the Israeli Embassy. The FBI
gave Franklin enough rope to hang himself, and then moved in, showing up at
his door and confronting him with his treachery. A search of his home and
office turned up a veritable lending library of classified documents dating
back years, all of which had doubtless been made available to the Israelis.
Faced with the probability of a long prison stretch, Franklin agreed to wear
a wire to his subsequent meetings with Rosen and Weissman. In the months
that followed, the FBI built its case, recording conversations and following
the AIPAC duo.
And they did a good job, apparently, because the government is making an
unusual request: that some testimony and evidence be shielded from the
public due to its highly sensitive nature. This wasn't just a case of
pilfering a few innocuous memoranda. It looks like team AIPAC made off with
the family jewels and maybe even the deed to the house. Why else would the
Justice Department risk having a conviction thrown out on appeal on account
of such a rarely invoked legal mechanism?
The defense has protested proposed security procedures-magnetometers at the
courtroom door, security sweeps of the courtroom itself, an officer of the
court monitoring electronic surveillance while the trial is in session-on
the grounds they would prejudice the jury against the defendants. They
compare this to dragging Rosen and Weissman before the jury in prisoners'
uniforms and shackles. Yet these security measures point to the seriousness
of the matter before the court, the depth to which the
Rosen-Weissman-Franklin spy ring penetrated the government, and the ongoing
breach they have opened in America's national-security firewall.
While most of the more cautious elements in the Jewish community are staying
well away from this case, the radicals, such as Rabbi Avi Weiss and his
AMCHA-Coalition for Jewish Concerns, who have previously devoted their
efforts to freeing Jonathan Pollard, have now turned their attention to
Rosen and Weissman. Steven Lieberman and Anne Sterba, lawyers for the group,
wrote in an amicus brief: "Trying these two men for disclosing critical
'national defense information' to foreign officials, without letting the
public know what the alleged information was, will allow enemies of the
Jewish people to exaggerate the significance of that evidence and will leave
the press and the public to subsist only on rumors and speculation."
The Weiss group likens the prosecution of Rosen and Weissman to the Dreyfus
case-in effect positing the existence of a vast anti-Semitic conspiracy at
the highest levels of the Justice Department. Not exactly a credible
contention, offered, as it is, without evidence, but the defenders of Rosen
and Weissman are getting more frantic as the trial date approaches. As a
writer for the Israeli newspaper Ha'aretz put it, "Does this trial really
carry any resemblance to the Dreyfus trial? It's a different era, a
different country, a different system, a different accusation. Making this
comparison demands some imagination, much ambition, and maybe a speck of
chutzpah too."
A recently unsealed defense memorandum details a Feb. 16, 2005 colloquy
between Rosen's lawyer, Abbe Lowell, and Nathan Lewin, AIPAC's legal
counsel, in which the latter reveals that Paul McNulty-then the U.S.
attorney for the eastern district of Virginia and chief prosecutor in the
case-"would like to end it with minimal damage to AIPAC." Lewin told Lowell,
"He is fighting with the FBI to limit the investigation to Steve Rosen and
Keith Weissman and to avoid expanding it." This is hardly the behavior one
would expect of contemporary anti-Dreyfusards in the Justice Department
plotting to scapegoat AIPAC and the Jews.
Clearly the Rosen-Weissman defense team is involved in a bit of "greymail,"
that is, forcing the government to disclose as much classified information
as possible during the discovery phase of this case and hoping to derail the
prosecution entirely as it weighs the effects of disclosure against the
benefits of a possible conviction. As we go to press, Judge T.S. Ellis has
ruled against the prosecution's proposal to shield sensitive testimony and
evidence behind a veil of pseudonyms and euphemism, which could delay the
begining of the trial.
Efforts to embarrass the administration go beyond accusing DOJ and extend to
prominent figures such as Condoleezza Rice, who is accused by Abbe Lowell of
leaking national defense information to AIPAC as Franklin did. Gen. Anthony
Zinni is being targeted in a similar manner. Both have been subpoenaed,
along with David Satterfield, deputy chief of the U.S. mission to Iraq, and
William Burns, U.S. ambassador to Russia, to testify. If Rosen and Weissman
are going down, the Israel lobby seems to be saying, then so are a lot of
prominent people-some of whom, like Zinni, just happen to be their enemies.
This isn't greymail, it's blackmail. It was Zinni, after all, who said of
the Israel lobby and the neoconservatives: "I think it's the worst-kept
secret in Washington. Everybody-everybody I talk to in Washington-has known
and fully knows what their agenda was [during the run up to the Iraq War]
and what they were trying to do."
The intrigue thickened last October as word leaked that a proposed deal was
dangled in front of Rep. Jane Harman: AIPAC would back her to become head of
the House Intelligence Committee if she would urge the government to treat
Rosen, Weissman-and AIPAC itself-with kid gloves. The Forward reported,
"Several congressional sources confirmed that major donors to the Democratic
Party have been lobbying Pelosi on behalf of Harman's nomination to head the
intelligence committee and that these attempts were not welcomed by the
House Democratic leader." Time named Haim Saban, the billionaire Hollywood
producer and major AIPAC moneybags, as one of the supplicants. Pelosi didn't
fall for it, and Harman was rebuffed. Perhaps this was in the background
when the speaker was booed as she addressed the subsequent AIPAC national
conference, although Pelosi got back in the Israel lobby's good graces after
she stripped a provision from the military appropriations bill that would
have required the president to go to Congress for permission to attack Iran.
The defense has fought to get the case against Rosen and Weissman thrown out
on any number of grounds: the Espionage Act is unconstitutional, it doesn't
apply to their clients but only to government officials, and, last but not
least, it's a violation of the Israel lobby's First Amendment "right" to
betray classified information to its masters in Tel Aviv. Twisting and
turning, threatening and spitting, delaying as best it can, the defense has
tried to wriggle out of it every which way, to no avail. The trial is going
forward, and the public spectacle of the biggest espionage scandal involving
Israel since the prosecution of Pollard could deliver a body blow to the
Israel lobby at a time when it has come in for public scrutiny and criticism
as never before.
But that hasn't prevented the lobby from brazenly defending the accused
spies, in spite of the preponderance of evidence, and even hailing them as
patriots. Writing in The Forward, Michael Berenbaum avers, "Instead of being
grounds for prosecution, perhaps the influence Steven Rosen and Keith
Weissman were trying to exert-making officials and the public aware of the
danger from Iran-should be heralded." And why should we hail espionage as
laudable in this instance? Well, you see, because the AIPAC defendants were
ahead of their time in citing the danger from Iran: "In Washington, as Rosen
and Weissman are learning the hard way, the 'crime' is often not being
wrong, but rather being right too early or at the wrong time, or being out
of sync with the conventional wisdom, or pushing an inconvenient truth."
In light of Judge Ellis's recent ruling that in this trial the Espionage Act
is going to be interpreted narrowly and that the burden is on the
prosecution to show that the defendants knowingly harmed U.S. national
security interests, the defense might be expected to make a pitch similar to
Berenbaum's-that, instead of prosecuting Rosen and Weissman, we ought to be
pinning medals on their chests.
The AIPAC defendants weren't spies, they were merely ahead of the curve,
anticipating the day when a distinction is no longer being made between
American and Israeli interests. That is the line we are hearing, as the
curtain goes up on the trial of Rosen and Weissman. Whether the jury or the
public falls for it remains to be seen.
