Watch your stolen home fly away…….

One of the issues sharply dividing Israelis and Palestinians is the
so-called right of return to Israel by refugees from the 1948 war.
Most of the property they abandoned has been held by the Israeli government.

CONFESSIONS OF AN EX-MOSSAD AGENT
Excerpt from Victor Ostrovsky's, "By way of deception"

Revealing the facts as I know them from my vantage point of four years
spent inside the Mossad was by no means an easy task.
Coming from an ardent Zionist background, I had been taught that the
state of Israel was incapable of misconduct. That we were the David in
the unending struggle against the ever-growing Goliath. That there was
no one out there to protect us but ourselves - a feeling reinforced by
the Holocaust survivors who lived among us.
We, the new generation of Israelites, the resurrected nation on its own
land after more than two thousand years of exile, were entrusted with
the fate of the nation as a whole.
The commanders of our army were called champions, not generals. Our
leaders were captains at the helm of a great ship. I was elated when I
was chosen and granted the privilege to join what I considered to be the
elite team of the Mossad.
But it was the twisted ideals and self-centered pragmatism that I
encountered inside the Mossad, coupled with this so-called team's greed,
lust, and total lack of respect for human life, that motivated me to
tell this story.
It is out of love for Israel as a free and just country that I am laying
my life on the line by so doing, facing up to those who took it upon
themselves to turn the Zionist dream into the present-day nightmare.
The Mossad, being the intelligence body entrusted with the
responsibility of plotting the course for the leaders at the helm of the
nation, has betrayed that trust. Plotting on its own behalf, and for
petty, self-serving reasons, it has set the nation on a collision course
with all-out war.
One of the main themes of this book is Victor's belief that Mossad is
out of control, that even the prime minister, although ostensibly in
charge, has no real authority over its actions ...
Victor Ostrovsky, a former Israeli Mossad agent, wrote two books about
Israel�s terror against their enemies. In one of them, he discusses the
fate of Palestinians who illegally cross the border in search of work in
Israel. Many thousands of these young men simply are never heard from
again after being captured by Israel�s forces. Some of them are taken to
the ABC research facilities where they endure the indescribable terror
of chemical, nuclear or biological warfare.
The Mossad - believe it or not - has just 30 to 35 case officers, or
katsas, operating in the world at any one time. The main reason for this
extraordinary low total, as you will read in this book, is that unlike
other countries, Israel can tap the significant and loyal cadre of the
worldwide Jewish community outside Israel. This is done through a unique
system of sayanim, volunteer Jewish helpers.
My first six weeks were uneventful. I worked at the downtown office,
essentially as a gofer and filing clerk. But one chilly day in February
1984, I found myself joining 14 others on a small bus. ... This course
was to be known as Cadet 16, as it was the sixteenth course of Mossad
cadets.
He walked briskly to the head of the table while the other two sat at
the back of the room. "My name is Aharon Sherf," he said. "I am the head
of the Academy. Welcome to the Mossad. Its full name is Ha Mossad, le
Modiyn ve le Tafkidim Mayuhadim [the Institute for Intelligence and
Special Operations]. Our motto is: 'By way of deception, thou shalt do war.'
"It's the old Trojan dick trick." He lit a cigarette.
"What's that?" I couldn't help smiling; I'd never heard it called that
before.
"I knew that would get your attention," he said, grinning. "Shimon
activated Operation Trojan in February of this year."
I nodded. I'd still been in the Mossad when that order was given, and
because of my naval background and acquaintance with most of the
commanders in the navy, I participated in the planning for the operation
as liaison with the navy.
A Trojan was a special communication device that could be planted by
naval commandos deep inside enemy territory. The device would act as a
relay station for misleading transmissions made by the disinformation
unit in the Mossad, called LAP, and intended to be received by American
and British listening stations. Originating from an IDF navy ship out at
sea, the prerecorded digital transmissions could be picked up only by
the Trojan. The device would then rebroadcast the transmission on
another frequency, one used for official business in the enemy country,
at which point the transmission would finally be picked up by American
ears in Britain.
The listeners would have no doubt they had intercepted a genuine
communication, hence the name Trojan, reminiscent of the mythical Trojan
horse. Further, the content of the messages, once deciphered, would
confirm information from other intelligence sources, namely the Mossad.
The only catch was that the Trojan itself would have to be located as
close as possible to the normal origin of such transmissions, because of
the sophisticated methods of triangulation the Americans and others
would use to verify the source.
In the particular operation Ephraim was referring to, two elite units in
the military had been made responsible for the delivery of the Trojan
device to the proper location. One was the Matkal reconnaissance unit
and the other was Flotilla 13, the naval commandos. The commandos were
charged with the task of planting the Trojan device in Tripoli, Libya.
On the night of February 17-18, two Israeli missile boats, the SAAR
4-class Moledet, armed with Harpoon and Gabriel surface-tosurface
missiles, among other weaponry, and the Geula, a Hohit-class mlsslle
boat with a helicopter pad and regular SAAR 4-class armament, conducted
what seemed like a routine patrol of the Mediterranean, heading for the
Sicilian channel and passing just outside the territorial waters of
Libya. Just north of Tripoli, the warships, which were vlsible to radar
both in Tripoli and on the Italian island of Lampedusa, slowed down to
about four knots - just long enough to allow a team of twelve naval
commandos in four wet submarines nicknamed "pigs" and two low-profiled
speedboats called "birds" to disembark. The pigs could carry two
commandos each and all their fighting gear.
The birds, equipped with an MG 7.62-caliber machine gun mounted over the
bow and an array of antitank shoulder-carried missiles, could facilitate
six commandos each, while towing the empty plgs. The birds brought the
pigs as close to the shore as possible, thus cutting down the distance
the pigs would have to travel on their own. (The pigs were submersible
and silent but relatively slow.)
Two miles off the Libyan coast, the lights of Tripoli could be seen
glistening in the southeast. Eight commandos slipped quietly into the
plgs and headed for shore. The birds stayed behind at the rendezvous
pomt, ready to take action should the situation arise. Once they reached
the beach, the commandos left their cigarlike transporters submerged in
the shallow water and headed inland, carrying a dark green Trojan
cylinder six feet long and seven inches in diameter. It took two men to
carry it.
A gray van was parked on the side of the road about one hundred feet
from the water, on the coastal highway leading from Sabratah to Tripoli
and on to Benghazi. There was hardly any traffic at that time of night.
The driver of the van seemed to be repairing a flat tire. He stopped
working as the team approached and opened the back doors of the van. He
was a Mossad combatant. Without a word said, four of the men entered the
van and headed for the city. The other four returned to the water, where
they took a defensive position by the submerged pigs. Their job was to
hold this position to ensure an escape route for the team now headed for
the city.
At the same time, a squadron of Israeli fighters was refueling south of
Crete, ready to assist. They were capable of keeping any ground forces
away from the commandos, allowing them a not-soclean getaway. At this
point, the small commando unit was divided into three details - its most
vulnerable state. Were any of the details to run into enemy forces, they
were instructed to act with extreme prejudice before the enemy turned
hostile.
The van parked at the back of an apartment building on Al Jamhuriyh
Street in Tripoli, less than three blocks away from the Bab al Azizia
barracks that were known to house Qadhafi's headquarters and residence.
By then, the men in the van had changed into civilian clothing. Two
stayed with the van as lookouts and the other two helped the Mossad
combatant take the cylinder to the top floor of the five-story building.
The cylinder was wrapped in a carpet.
In the apartment, the top section of the cylinder was opened and a small
dishlike antenna was unfolded and placed in front of the window facing
north. The unit was activated, and the Trojan horse was in place.
The Mossad combatant had rented the apartment for six months and had
paid the rent in advance. There was no reason for anyone except the
combatant to enter the apartment. However, if someone should decide to
do so, the Trojan would self-destruct, taking with it most of the upper
part of the building. The three men headed back to the van and to their
rendezvous with their friends on the beach.
After dropping the commandos at the beach, the combatant headed back for
the city, where he would monitor the Trojan unit for the next few weeks.
The commandos wasted no time and headed out to sea. They didn't want to
be caught in Libyan waters at daybreak. They reached the birds and
headed at full speed to a prearranged pickup coordinate, where they met
with the missile boats that had brought them in.
By the end of March, the Americans were already intercepting messages
broadcast by the Trojan, which was only activated during heavy
communication traffic hours. Using the Trojan, the Mossad tried to make
it appear that a long series of terrorist orders were being transmitted
to various Libyan embassies around the world (or, as they were called by
the Libyans, Peoples' Bureaus). As the Mossad had hoped, the
transmissions were deciphered by the Americans and construed as ample
proof that the Libyans were active sponsors of terrorism. What's more,
the Americans pointed out, Mossad reports confirmed it.
The French and the Spanish, though, were not buying into the new stream
of information. To them, it seemed suspicious that suddenly, out of the
blue, the Libyans, who'd been extremely careful in the past, would start
advertising their future actions. They also found it suspicious that in
several instances Mossad reports were worded similarly to coded Libyan
communications. They argued further that, had there truly been
after-the-fact Libyan communications regarding the attack, then the
terrorist attack on the La Belle discotheque in West Berlin on April 5
could have been prevented, since surely there would have been
communications before, enabling intelligence agencies listening in to
prevent It. Since the attack wasn't prevented, they reasoned that it
must not be the Libyans who did it, and the "new communications" must be
bogus. The French and the Spanish were right. The information was bogus,
and the Mossad didn't have a clue who planted the bomb that killed one
American serviceman and wounded several others. But the Mossad was tied
in to many of the European terrorist organizations, and it was convinced
that in the volatile atmosphere that had engulfed Europe, a bombing with
an American victim was just a matter of time Heads of the Mossad were
counting on the American promise to retaliate with vengeance against any
country that could be proven to support terrorism. The Trojan gave the
Americans the proof they needed. The Mossad also plugged into the
equation Qadhafi's lunatic image and momentous declarations, which were
really only meant for internal consumption.
It must be remembered that Qadhafi had marked a line in the water at
that time, closing off the Gulf of Sidra as Libyan territorial waters
and calling the new maritime border the line of death (an action that
didn't exactly give him a moderate image). Ultimately, the Americans
fell for the Mossad ploy head over heels dragging the British and the
Germans somewhat reluctantly in with them. Operation Trojan was one of
the Mossad's greatest successes. It brought about the air strike on
Libya that President Reagan had promised - a strike that had three
important consequences. First, it derailed a deal for the release of the
American hostages in Lebanon, thus preserving the Hizballah (Party of
God) as the number one enemy in the eyes of the West. Second, it sent a
message to the entire Arab world, telling them exactly where the United
States stood regarding the Arab-Israeli conflict. Third, it boosted the
Mossad's image of itself, since it was they who, by ingenious sleight of
hand, had prodded the United States to do what was right. It was only
the French who didn't buy into the Mossad trick and were determined not
to ally themselves with the aggressive American act. The French refused
to allow the American bombers to fly over their territory on their way
to attack Libya.
On April 14, 1986, one hundred and sixty American aircraft dropped over
sixty tons of bombs on Libya. The attackers bombed Tripoli international
airport, Bab al Azizia barracks, Sidi Bilal naval base, the city of
Benghazi, and the Benine airfield outside Benghazi. The strike force
consisted of two main bodies, one originating in England and the other
from flattops in the Mediterranean. From England came twenty-four F-111s
from Lakenheath, five EF-111s from Upper Heyford, and twenty-eight
refueling tankers from Mildenhall and Fairford. In the attack, the air
force F-111s and the EF-111s were joined by eighteen A-6 and A-7 strike
and strike support aircraft, six F\A-18 fighters, fourteen EA-6B
electronic jammer planes, and other support platforms. The navy planes
were catapulted from the carriers Coral Sea and America. On the Libyan
side, there were approximately forty civilian casualties, including
Qadhafi's adopted daughter. On the American side, a pilot and his
weapons officer were killed when their F-111 exploded.
After the bombing, the Hizballah broke off negotiations regarding the
hostages they held in Beirut and executed three of them, including one
American named Peter Kilburn. As for the French, they were rewarded for
their nonparticipation in the attack by the release at the end of June
of two French journalists held hostage in Beirut. (As it happened, a
stray bomb hit the French embassy in Tripoli during the raid.)
Ephraim had spelled it all out for me and confirmed some of the
information I'd already known. He then went on. "After the bombing of
Libya, our friend Qadhafi is sure to stay out of the picture for some
time. Iraq and Saddam Hussein are the next target. We're starting now to
build him up as the big villain. It will take some time, but in the end,
there's no doubt it'll work."
"But isn't Saddam regarded as moderate toward us, allied with Jordan,
the big enemy of Iran and Syria?"
"Yes, that's why I'm opposed to this action. But that's the directive,
and I must follow it. Hopefully, you and I will be done with our little
operation before anything big happens. After all, we have already
destroyed his nuclear facility, and we are making money by selling hlm
technology and equipment through South Africa."
In the following weeks, more and more discoveries were made regarding
the big gun and other elements of the Saddam war machine. The Mossad had
all but saturated the intelligence field with information regarding the
evil intentions of Saddam the Terrible, banking on the fact that before
long, he'd have enough rope to hang himself. It was very clear what the
Mossad's overall goal was. It wanted the West to do its bidding, just as
the Americans had in Libya with the bombing of Qadhafi. After all,
Israel didn't possess carriers and ample air power, and although it was
capable of bombing a refugee camp in Tunis, that was not the same. The
Mossad leaders knew that if they could make Saddam appear bad enough and
a threat to the Gulf oil supply, of which he'd been the protector up to
that point, then the United States and its allies would not let him get
away with anything, but would take measures that would all but eliminate
his army and his weapons potential, especially if they were led to
believe that this might just be their last chance before he went nuclear.

Interesting that the French were rewarded for cowardice. I think that's
what Obama is aiming for.

More interesting is that you blame your own ignorance on the delusion that
people are keeping secrets from you.
Maybe, if you shoot up a Holocaust Museum or kill a doctor in church,
they'll take you more seriously.
That'll show 'em, eh?
