Is Israel Really America's Friend?
tmzz
deaf ears. As John Bryant pointed out in one of the essays on
his website, http://www.thebirdman.org/ , the media has conditioned
people to disbelieve anything critical said about Jews. Everyone
"knows" that Jews are meek, mild-mannered folks who are constantly
being persecuted for no good reason. Anyone who dares utter a
disrepectful word toward Jews is an evil, despicable "Nazi" who
deserves a horrible punishment.
Too bad that's the way it is. Half a century of TV/movie propaganda
has taken its toll.
Is Israel Really America's Friend?
By Hal Turner
10-12-2
Elsewhere on this website, I have collected many articles by Western
journalists, Jews and Israelis, and human rights organizations all of whom
condemn Israel's policies in Palestine. I have also provided evidence that
Israel is an apartheid state. I believe that all of this should be
sufficient reason for America to stop supporting Israel - we should stand up
for justice. But even if you don't find this a compelling argument, we can
look at whether Israel has really been a loyal ally to the U.S., or whether
the U.S.-Israeli relationship is costing America. Is Israel really America's
friend? Examine the evidence below.
A friend wouldn't:
* spy on America
* sell American military secrets to America's enemies
* pirate America's technology
* stockpile weapons of mass destruction
* attack an American naval vessel in international waters
* stand by and let Americans be killed
Israel has done all of these and continues to do them. This is not
"Muslim propaganda". All reports are taken from American or Israeli news
sources and journalists.

Also: Lyndon LaRouche and his colleagues have been discussing the
Israeli spy ring and its possible connections to September 11. You may or
may not consider Lyndon LaRouche to be a reliable source; many people
consider him a crackpot and/or an anti-Semite. I have provided links to
these articles as an additional resource, so that people may see the
different approaches that can be made to the same facts. The first article
on the Israeli spy ring appeared in August with some novel speculations:
Israeli Spies, and Who (or What?) is 'Mega'? by Jeffrey Steinberg.
http://www.larouchepub.com/other/2001/2833mega_spy.html
Subsequently, the theory of Israeli foreknowledge (and possibly a greater
role) was explored in Israeli Spying in U.S.: Exposé Cracks Coverup of Sept.
11, by Edward Spannaus and Jeffrey Steinberg,
http://www.larouchepub.com/other/2001/2849isr_spies_911.html
and EIR Blows Israeli Spies' Cover in Sept. 11 Case, by Jeffrey Steinberg
and Edward Spannaus.
http://www.larouchepub.com/other/2001/2850megaspies_story.html
If you want to see LaRouche venture into some speculations into the "greater
role",
read Zbigniew Brzezinski and September 11.
http://www.larouchepub.com/lar/2002/2901zbig_sept11.html
This essay actually covers a lot more ground than just September 11;
LaRouche seems to be setting out his entire worldview. One thing is clear:
LaRouche is not presenting this theory out of some love for Islam or desire
to defend Muslims. Interesting reading,
whether you believe him or not...
Further Speculations
In the days immediately following the September 11 terrorist
attacks, there was some speculation that Israeli intelligence (i.e., the
Mossad) was behind it, rather than Osama Bin Laden. There does not appear to
be any evidence of this (although the evidence cited by Raimondo is a cause
in itself for speculation). Nonetheless, it is very interesting to read the
following reports about past Mossad activities. Both articles are by Richard
H. Curtiss, a retired U.S. foreign service officer who was chief inspector
of the U.S. Information Agency. His primary source on the Mossad is Victor
Ostrovsky, a former Mossad caseworker and author of several books on the
Mossad. See The Israeli Deception That Led to the Bombing of Pan American
Flight 103 Over Lockerbie, Scotland
