Israeli Wiretappers, the NSA, and 9/11

(James Bamford has done another great deed for the public
by revealing the extent of the NSA's wiretapping on U.S. soil,
and how the NSA sub-contracts the vast majority of its work
to Israeli high-tech firms bristling with "former" Israeli military
intelligence agents, and in the case of Verint,
a company with serious corruption issues.
It was Bamford who popularized the existence
of Operation Northwoods [1]
in his 2001 book, Body of Secrets [2].
In The Shadow Factory [3],
he sheds light in the secret rooms of Verizon and AT&T, and shows
the NSA to be a very poor custodian of the nation's security.)
Bamford Brings the Goods
On October 14, 2008, James Bamford talked about some of the shocking
research in his new book on Democracy Now!, with Amy Goodman;
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hI_k9Xt00YE <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hI_k9Xt00YE&eurl=http://www.911blogger...> &eurl=http://www.911blogger.com/node/18981/print
Along with the mass surveillance being conducted on all U.S. users
of AT&T and Verizon by Narus and Verint, (according to Bamford),
two other Israeli-owned companies, Amdocs and NICE Systems,
have their fingers in the wiretapping pie as well.
Christopher Ketcham preceded Bamford in September, with with the article
"Trojan Horse" [4], that focuses on Verint, Amdocs, and CALEA
(the legislation which brought all of these problems into existence);
"Together, Verint and Amdocs form part of the backbone of the
government's domestic intelligence surveillance technology.
Both companies are based in Israel – having arisen to prominence
from that country's cornering of the information technology market
– and are heavily funded by the Israeli government,
with connections to the Israeli military and Israeli intelligence
(both companies have a long history of board memberships dominated
by current and former Israeli military and intelligence officers).
Verint is considered the world leader in "electronic interception"
and hence an ideal private sector candidate for wiretap outsourcing.
Amdocs is the world's largest billing service for telecommunications,
with some $2.8 billion in revenues in 2007, offices worldwide,
and clients that include the top 25 phone companies in the United States
that together handle 90 percent of all call traffic among US residents.
The companies' operations, sources suggest, have been infiltrated
by freelance spies exploiting encrypted trapdoors in Verint/Amdocs
technology and gathering data on Americans for transfer
to Israeli intelligence and other willing customers
(particularly organized crime)...
None of US law enforcement's problems with Amdocs and Verint
could have come to pass without the changes mandated by the
Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act of 1994,
which, as noted, sought to lock spyware into telecom networks.
CALEA, to cite the literature, requires that terrestrial carriers,
cellular phone services and other telecom entities
enable the government to intercept
"all wire and oral communications carried
by the carrier concurrently with their transmission."
If Ketcham and Bamford are correct, (so far, no lawsuits),
then the National "Security" Agency has thrown
the "National Security" of the United States under the bus.
Amdocs and NICE
The two companies that should be getting extra scrutiny from
9/11 researchers are Amdocs, and NICE Systems. Both have
direct links to 9/11 via the milieu known as the "Israeli DEA Groups".
To date, the best report on the DEA Groups was assembled
by retired international lawyer, Gerald Shea;
you can download the report from Antiwar.com [5].
I consider Shea's report the best so far, because it is high on content, and low on speculation, and, it names names. The content is damning. Consider the following graph from Shea which places the DEA Groups in the same general vicinity as the alleged 9/11 hijackers, in the time period running up to 9/11;
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v491/reprehensor/911/deagroups-1.jpg
<http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v491/reprehensor/911/deagroups-1.jpg>
Shea notes the Amdocs and NICE connections in his report;
"Tomer Ben Dor (mentioned above), another Israeli of interest to the DEA,
was an employee of Nice-Systems Ltd., an Israeli company specializing
in systems and solutions for detecting, locating, monitoring, evaluating
and analyzing voice communications and other transmissions
from a variety of sources--activities commonly known
as wiretapping and electronic eavesdropping.
Nice-Systems’ U.S. subsidiary, Nice Systems Inc., is located
in Rutherford, New Jersey, adjacent to East Rutherford
where five members of the Israeli New Jersey group
were arrested on September 11.
When Mr. Ben Dor was interrogated by the INS at the DFW Airport
in May 2001, an inspection of his bags revealed a printout
containing a reference to a file entitled “DEA Groups.”
One member of the Israeli DEA Groups, Michal Gal,
who was arrested in Irving, Texas,18 was released on a $10,000
cash bond posted by Ophir Baer, an employee of Amdocs, Inc.
an Israeli telecommunications firm with operations in the United States.
The Amdocs employee described Mr. Gal as a “relative”.
Shea makes a distinction between the DEA Groups, and the
New Jersey Group detained on 9/11, where two of the 5 Israelis
arrested were later identified as Mossad agents. The Mossad connection
was discussed on Democracy Now! in February of 2007 [6];
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRLZVBtoMcE <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRLZVBtoMcE&eurl=http://www.911blogger...> &eurl=http://www.911blogger.com/node/18981/print
Shea on the Mossad connection, and some more on Nice systems;
"The vans in the operations of both Israeli Groups were able
to move about neighborhoods without raising undue concern.
The “art students” in the Israeli DEA Groups were using their vans
as sometime door-to-door salesmen. The personnel of
Urban Moving Systems, the Mossad front, were ostensibly driving about
northeastern New Jersey towns in their van (or vans)
to help people move—a familiar suburban sight.
With ample room for personnel and electronic equipment,
the vans were ideal vehicles for electronic eavesdropping.
The extent to which Nice Systems, the Israeli wiretapping company
for which Tomer Ben Dor worked (the Israeli with the reference to
“DEA Groups” in his computer files) will be a matter for the public inquiry.
Nice Systems was ideally suited to provide equipment and expertise
to the Israeli New Jersey Group because its U.S. headquarters were located
in Rutherford, New Jersey, near the center of the Group’s operations."
James Bamford was introduced to NICE Systems at the
2006 Intelligence Support System World Conference [7]
or informally... the Wiretappers' Ball, held in Crystal City [8],
along the Potomac. Bamford writes;
"The large Israeli firm NICE, like Verint and Narus, is also a major
eavesdropper in the U.S., and like the other two, it keeps its government
and commercial client list very secret.
A key member of the Wiretappers' Ball, it was formed in 1986
by seven veterans of Unit 8200 [9],
according to the company's founder, Benny Levin.
"We were seven people from the Unit," he said,
"we all worked on a project for more than four years,
we knew each other very well.
We had very good complementary skills."
Like a page out of Orwell,
all their high-tech bugging systems are called "Nice".
Nice Perform, for example, "provides voice content analysis
with features such as: word spotting, emotion detection,
talk pattern analysis, and state-of-the-art visualization techniques."
Nice Universe "captures voice, email, chat, screen activity,
and essential call details."
Nice Log offers "audio compression technology that performs
continuous recordings of up to thousands of analog
and digital telephone lines and radio channels.
"And Nice VoIP "can use both packet sniffing and active recording methods
for recording VoIP sessions (both by telephone and internet)."*
"Former" Israeli military intelligence personnel are
scattered throughout the high-tech wiretapping industry [10].
And this fact, (along with Bamford's new book), prompted
Israeli journalist Yossi Melman to ask this rhetorical question in Haaretz,
"Is Israel's booming high-tech industry a branch of the Mossad?" [11].
NSA Domestic Spying Began Before 9/11
The NSA's domestic spying operation began no later than February, 2001 [12];
"Within eleven (11) days of the onset of the Bush administration,
and at least seven (7) months prior to the attacks of September 11, 2001,
defendant ATT began development of a center for monitoring
long distance calls and internet transmissions
and other digital information for the exclusive use of the NSA.
The center was put into development by ATT following a proposal
by the NSA for the construction and development of a network operations
center identical to ATT's own network operations center located
in Bedminster, New Jersey for the exclusive use of the NSA.
The NSA proposal was accepted by the ATT sales division and referred
to ATT Solutions, an ATT project development division
situated in Florham Park, New Jersey...
Said data center would enable the NSA to tap into any phone line
and to monitor any digital transfer of information on ATT's networks
including voice telephone calls, facsimile transmission and all internet traffic."
The NSA's early 2001 involvement with expanded domestic wiretapping
is confirmed by the former CEO of Qwest [13];
"Defendant Joseph P. Nacchio ... respectfully renews his objection
to the Court's rulings excluding testimony surrounding his Feb 27, 2001
meeting at Ft. Meade with representatives from the National Security
Agency (NSA) as violative of his constitutional right to mount a defense.
Although Mr. Nacchio is allowed to tell the jury that he and James Payne
went into that meeting expecting to talk about the "Groundbreaker" project
and came out of the meeting with optimism about the prospect
for 2001 revenue from NSA, the Court has prohibited Mr. Nacchio
from eliciting testimony regarding what also occurred at that meeting.
[REDACTED]
The Court has also refused to allow Mr. Nacchio to demonstrate
that the agency retaliated for this refusal by denying
the Groundbreaker and perhaps other work to Qwest.
By being prevented from telling his full story to the jury or from fully
and properly cross-examining any rebuttal witnesses, Mr. Nacchio
has been deprived of the ability to explaoin why - after he came out
of the February meeting with a reasonable, good faith, expectation
that Qwest would be receiving significant contracts from NSA in 2001
... Qwest was denied significant work...
There was a feeling also, that the NSA acted as agents
for other government agencies and if Qwest frustrated the NSA,
they would also frustrate other agencies.
As this clip featuring Bamford on Charlie Rose shows (1984), the CIA and the U.S. intelligence community in general would be the "other agencies" in question;
The DEA began to receive reports about the Israelis in January of 2001,
with peak activity by the Groups occurring in February and March of 2001;
"In January, 2001, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA),
Office of Security Programs (IS), began to receive reports
of Israeli art students attempting to penetrate several DEA Field Offices
in the continental United States. Additionally, there have been reports
of Israeli art students visiting the homes of numerous DEA employees.
These incidents have occurred since at least the beginning of 2000,
and have continued to the present. The number of reported incidents
increased in November/December 2000, and has continued to date.
These incidents have involved several other law enforcement and
Department of Defense agencies, with contacts made at other
agencies' facilities and the residences of their employees.
Geographically, these incidents are very widespread, ranging from
California to Florida. The majority of the incidents have occurred
in the southern half of the continental U.S. with the most activity reported
in the state of Florida. Since April 2001, the number of reported incidents
has declined, however, the geographic spread of the incidents
has increased to Wisconsin, Oklahoma, and Los Angeles.
The activities of these Israeli art students raised the suspicion
of IS and other field offices when attempts were made to circumvent
the access control systems at DEA offices, and when these individuals
began to solicit their paintings at the homes of DEA employees.
The nature of the individuals' conduct, combined with intelligence
information and historical information regarding past incidents involving
Israeli Organized Crime, leads IS to believe the incidents may well be
an organized intelligence gathering activity.
It is believed by IS that these incidents should not be the basis
for any immediate concern for the safety and security of DEA personnel,
however, employees should continue to exercise due caution
in safeguarding information relating to DEA investigations, or activities...
In general, these individuals appear to be organized in teams
of 8 to 10 people, with one person described as the "Team Leader".
They are usually encountered in pairs or individually carrying
a makeshift art portfolio.
Several times, they have, been seen or admitted to being dropped off
in an area by the Team Leader, who returns later to pick them up.
The females are usually described as very attractive,
and all are generally in their early to mid-20s.
Most admit to having served in the Israeli Military.
This is not surprising given the mandatory military service require in Israel,
however, a majority of those questioned has stated they served in military intelligence, electronic signal intercept, or explosive ordinance units.
Some have been linked to high-ranking officials in the Israeli military.
One was the son of a two-star general, one served as the bodyguard
to the head of the Israeli Army, one served in a Patriot missile unit.
That these people are now traveling in the U.S.
selling art seems not to fit their background.
Their stories are remarkable only in their consistency.
At first, they will state that they are art students, either from
the University of Jerusalem, or the Bezalel Academy of Arts in Jerusalem.
Other times they will purport to be promoting a new art studio in the area.
When pressed for details as to the location of the art studio
or why they are selling the paintings, they become evasive.
Some claim to be the artist who painted the artwork, others claim
they promoting the work of others or of Israel.
Information has been received which indicates
the art is actually produced in China.
When told that they cannot solicit on federal facilities, they will claim
that the paintings are not for sale, but that they are soliciting interest
in the paintings, either for an art studio or for a future art sale...
When encountered at residences, some of these individuals
are persistent in trying to get inside the home. Some have asked
to use the telephone when leaving. Some employees have reported
that they came only to their house, while others have reported
that the students approached the entire neighborhood."
Questions, again...
Why is NONE of this information in the 9/11 Commission Final Report?
Did the NSA sub-contract NICE Systems and other Israeli wiretappers
to monitor the alleged 9/11 hijackers? And does this in turn explain
why the Israelis were simply deported for "immigration" violations?
How could the Israelis be in such uncanny proximity with the alleged hijackers
without MASSIVE foreknowledge of their plans, identities, and locations?
Is possible collusion between NSA and the Israelis
only the tip of the iceberg?
And will further digging reveal operational relationships between the Israelis
and other U.S. intelligence services or Private Military Contractors (PMCs)?
Is the "Wiretappers" story merely very complex cover for the actual activities
of the Israelis, including far more destructive uses of moving vans [14]?
Or, are stories about
explosives being linked to the Urban Moving Systems vans [15]
clever disinfo to lead away from HUMINT [16] and SIGINT [17]
being conducted by the Israelis?
Were the Israelis merely shepherds, keeping an eye on U.S. intel assets,
assets that had been tagged for a future activity?
If the Israelis are our friends... why didn't they stop the hijackers?
Perhaps the quote attributed to one of the New Jersey Israelis
explains it best (see Shea's memo);
"We are Israeli. We are not your problem.
Your problems are our problems.
The Palestinians are the problem."

Is this lawman your Facebook friend?
Increasingly, investigators use
social networking websites for police work
By Julie Masis
http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/2009/01/11/is_this_lawman_y...
Globe Correspondent / January 11, 2009
When a Wilmington man in his early 20s overdosed on heroin the day
after Christmas, local police Detective Pat Nally turned to his computer.
He wanted to look at the deceased's Facebook and MySpace pages
for possible clues about the source of the drug
and who might have been using it with the man.
<http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/2009/01/11/is_this_lawman_y...>
Discuss
COMMENTS ( <http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/2009/01/11/is_this_lawman_y...> 26)
"People arrange to buy and sell drugs on Facebook; there's talk
of what they may do and where they may go," said Nally.
"We'd be foolish not to use it as an investigative tool."
The Wilmington investigator is not alone. In an informal survey
of 14 departments in this area, officials in half of them said
they use social networking websites such as Facebook and MySpace
in detective work - particularly in investigations involving young people.
In Harvard, the police signed on to such sites about three years ago,
after a woman was sexually assaulted and beaten by three men
whom she met on MySpace and invited to her house. Police contacted
MySpace and tracked the assailants using their online usernames
and accounts, said Chief Edward Denmark.
Now even the chief has a Facebook page himself.
In a recent photo he used in his profile, Denmark appears as a singer
from the 1970s with an Afro, long sideburns, and a flashy necklace.
It's not him: Denmark says he changes the photo daily.
Harvard Police Officer Daniele Fortunato is also on Facebook.
If you had searched for her on the site recently, you would have found
a cat in a white-and-red Christmas hat stretching out on a bed
(it's her profile photo), while Harvard police Sergeant James Babu
appears as a smiling pig, with big ears and perfect white teeth.
Since the MySpace incident, the department has found that
such websites can be useful to help identify suspects, Denmark said,
by providing information about a particular person's contacts.
"We ask them if they know a certain person and [if] they tell us
'no' and we look on Facebook and see that they're friends,
we know they're being untruthful," he explained.
In Nashua, police Sergeant Mike Carignan said Facebook helps police
identify suspects by making it possible to "put a face to a name."
He said the department uses such sites in investigations involving
sexual predators, burglaries, drug dealers, and wanted people.
In Boxborough, Sergeant Warren Ryder said police were able to prevent
underage drinking at a high school graduation party using information
they obtained on Facebook. "They were talking about
who was going to get the booze first," he said.
He said police also solved a vandalism case after someone posted
a picture of the spray-painted graffiti on Facebook.
In Lowell, police Captain Randell Humphrey said Facebook
can be useful in cases involving computer crimes, such as threats,
as well as fraud and sex-related crimes, while Woburn even employs
a detective whose responsibility is to monitor Facebook and MySpace.
At the state level, the Office of the Commissioner of Probations
has an employee who checks the activity of juvenile probationers
on Facebook, to see what mischief they may be planning,
said Corea Holland, spokesman for the agency in Boston.
The Middlesex district attorney's office, meanwhile, uses the social
networking site as one way to gather evidence. District Attorney
Gerry Leone said both Facebook and MySpace have been useful
in cases involving pornography and child enticement.
In November, a Winchester Middle School teacher's aide was arraigned
on child rape and pornography charges based on evidence
the district attorney's office obtained from social networking websites.
"In light of the explosion of the Internet and the use of electronic
communications, it's more important to us than ever," Leone said.
Marc Zwillinger, a Washington, D.C., lawyer who represents social
networking sites, said requests from investigators to websites
for information about individuals "are steadily increasing,"
and he's certainly seen subpoenas from the police as well.
Law enforcement officials request access to information users
provided when they registered for the site - such as their name,
IP address, zip code - and sometimes want to look at
their private message exchanges, Zwillinger said.
"We see a lot of it in sexual assault cases.
They want to know what kind of messages were sent back and forth,"
he said.
In cases where one person argues the sex was consensual,
while the other says it was rape, messages on social networking sites
can shed light on what happened, he said.
So how do police do their detective work on Facebook?
Denmark said he would have no reservations about going undercover
on Facebook - taking on a fake identity and tricking a suspect
into accepting a police department employee as a friend,
which would give police full access to the suspect's online profile.
"If the need ever arises, we're not against doing that," he said.
No special permission from a higher authority, such as
the US attorney general's office, would be required, he said.
"It wouldn't be like a wiretap. It's no different than putting on
a pizza guy uniform and knocking on the door," he said.
Leone said officers already engage in undercover conversations
on Facebook if they have "a reasonable suspicion."
But some critics say this practice is against Facebook's rules
- and unethical.Facebook spokesman Simon Axten said that
the site's rules forbid people from using fake names and that Facebook
would not make an exception for police officers working undercover.
"Facebook is based on a real name culture, so fake names and
false identities are actually a violation of the terms of use,"
Axten wrote in an e-mail.
"We disable the accounts of people operating under pseudonyms."
Jennifer Lynch, a lecturer at the law school of the University of California
in Berkeley, said there are ethical issues involved when police pretend
to be someone's friend to get access to their profile.
"If police is creating a fake profile and asking to be a friend, they are
not going through the court" to obtain a search warrant, she said.
"So you're losing the checks and balances
that we value in our criminal justice system."
Kyle Bannon, 19, a Bedford, N.H.-based member of the Facebook group
"Bedford cops need a life," agrees police working undercover
on Facebook is akin to "searching without a warrant."
"It doesn't seem like the forefathers of our country
would be too keen on that idea," he said.
The group has more than 200 members, mostly Bedford High School
students who are frustrated with local police and use the site
to share their stories about what they say were unfair speeding tickets
and other incidents.
A similar Facebook group in Reading, Mass., has 63 members,
and even features comic strips about students hijacking
a police cruiser with a shotgun in the backseat,
and a caricature of an officer with doughnuts falling out of his pockets.
A recent post on the group's "wall" suggested that the students
suspect the police department may have discovered the group.
"Being in this group is the stupidest idea,"
wrote a Reading Memorial High School student on Dec. 3.
"The Reading cops know the names of all the people who are in it."
But Reading police Lieutenant Detective Richard Robbins
said he does not believe his department uses Facebook.
Officials in several other departments also said
they do not use Facebook, and some said they did not know what it is.
"Safebook? It's called Safebook?" asked Dunstable police
Lieutenant James Dow. "I don't even know what it is."
The police dispatcher in Merrimack, N.H., asked: "Spacebook?" <http://cache.boston.com/bonzai-fba/File-Based_Image_Resource/dingbat_...>

Privacy does not exist on the Internet these days,
and people really need to realize this.
Yes, if you set your MySpace or Facebook profile to Private,
most people can NOT see it, but guess who CAN?
Police, government officials, or anyone who can fill out
a warrant or legal request to social networking sites.
Big Brother is watching your every move online.
They know everything about you. So don't post sensitive
or private information on the Internet.
There is a lot of stuff I post on other websites
(I post under random pseudonyms to conceal my identity)
that I wouldn't want others to see, but it is possible,
if someone really wanted to, to trace that data back to me.
It would be very difficult, but possible.
tl;dr: Think before you post information on websites,
especially if you list your full name or contact information on the same site!

and only because you want him to.
From Wikipedia re: Orwell's 1984:
"The Thought Police have two-way telescreens (in the living quarters
of every Party member and in every public area), hidden microphones,
and anonymous informers to spy potential thought-criminals
who might endanger The Party. Children are indoctrinated to informing;
to spy and report suspected thought-criminals — especially their parents.
Winston Smith is a bureaucrat in the Records Department of the
Ministry of Truth, revising historical records to match The Party's
contemporaneous, official version of the past. The revisionism is required
so that the past reflect the shifts of the day in the Party's orthodoxy.
Smith's job is perpetual; he re-writes the official record, re-touches
official photographs, deleting people officially rendered as unpersons.
The original or older document is dropped into a "memory hole" chute
leading to an incinerator. Although he likes his work, especially
the intellectual challenge of revising a complete historical record,
he also is fascinated by the true past, and eagerly tries to learn
more about that forbidden truth."
Ironic to get that off Wikipedia, no? Almost as ironic as the Globe
moving inexorably in the direciton of an ePaper. Orwell's vision
of fluidic truth was only off by a couple of decades.
But the most ironic of all is people trusting in a medium like this to post
information they wouldn't think to share with a stranger on the street.
I guess they believe their big brother is looking out for them.
And they're right.

Click here to see full comment <http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/2009/01/11/is_this_lawman_y...> It is funny because I used social
networking to find this out about Harvard, MA Sgt. James Babu.
He was injured while testing a Segway-style three-wheeled vehicle for police.
He received medical treatment after the accident. The vehicle,
which has been making the rounds of surrounding towns,
was not considered appropriate for use in Harvard at this time,
Officer Newman said. Thanks Officer Newman

<<<A Warning>>>
(The Cursed Machine would have Ground to a Halt )
-
"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking:
"What would things have been like if every Security operative,
when he went out at night to make an arrest,
had been uncertain whether he would return alive
and had to say goodbye to his family?
"Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad,
when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had
not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang
of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase,
but had understood they had nothing left to lose
and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush
of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers,
or whatever else was at hand.
"The Organs would very quickly have suffered
a shortage of officers and transport and,
not-withstanding all of Stalin's thirst;
the Cursed Machine would have Ground to a Halt . . ."

The LOGAN ACT - Defiled!
U.S. DoJ - Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA)
<http://www.usdoj.gov/criminal/fara/> http://www.usdoj.gov/criminal/fara/
The Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) was enacted in 1938.
FARA is a disclosure statute that requires persons
Acting as Agents of FOREIGN PRINCIPALS
in a Political or quasi-political capacity to make periodic
Public Disclosure of their Relationship with the
Foreign Principal, as well as Activities, Receipts
and Disbursements in Support of those Activities.
Disclosure of the required information facilitates evaluation
by the government and the American people
of the statements and activities of such persons
in light of their function as foreign agents.
The FARA Registration Unit of the Counter-Espionage Section (CES)
in the National Security Division (NSD) is responsible
for the administration and enforcement of the Act.

JUDAISM AND ZIONISM Part 1 of 5
<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4YjyCpN4gA&feature=related> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4YjyCpN4gA&feature=related
Rabbi Goldstein gives a historic overview of zionism and the creation
of the zionist state, explaining its incompatibility with Judaism.
Neturei Karta (Jews against zionism)
23 December 2001
Rabbi Goldstein explained to his Muslim audience that whilst for Mr. Arafat
and the Palestinian Authority its a political struggle and they may compromise with
the zionist state and settle for 50%, 25% or whatever they can get, he cannot do that.
Ideologically religious Jews cannot recognise any part of the zionist state.
"...The Muslims people basically got involved in the fight against zionism
when it started effecting them on a political basis which is 1917 for the Palestinians
or afterwards for some of the other Arab countries,
We [religious Jews] were in this fight from the 1890's roughly...
As soon as it was founded [zionism], it was condemned -
Jews came out and said this is atheistic, this is idol worship..."
