[Notice how many of the officials with dual Israel/US citizenship listed
below are members of PNAC and *directly* influenced/influence the
decisions about the Iraq war and current BushCo policy. -jrm]
...The U.S., in its special relationship with Israel, has become very
sympathetic to allowing Israeli-Americans to retain two nationalities
and allowing U.S. citizens not only to hold public office in Israel, but
to hold US government positions as well! No other country holds this
special exception to our laws of citizenship.
So, you might ask, are there any other dual Israel-American citizens who
hold US government positions that could compromise American security?
Yes. Consider the following list...
Michael Mukasey
Recently appointed as US Attorney General. Mukasey also was the judge in
the litigation between developer Larry Silverstein and several insurance
companies arising from the destruction of the World Trade Center.
Michael Chertoff
Former Assistant Attorney General for the Criminal Division, at the
Justice Department; now head of Homeland Security.
Richard Perle
One of Bush's foreign policy advisors, he is the chairman of the
Pentagon's Defense Policy Board. A very likely Israeli government agent,
Perle was expelled from Senator Henry Jackson's office in the 1970's
after the National Security Agency (NSA) caught him passing
Highly-Classified (National Security) documents to the Israeli Embassy.
He later worked for the Israeli weapons firm, Soltam. Perle came from
one the above mentioned pro-Israel thinktanks, the AEI. Perle is one of
the leading pro-Israeli fanatics leading this Iraq war mongering within
the administration and now in the media.
Paul Wolfowitz
Former Deputy Defense Secretary, and member of Perle's Defense Policy
Board, in the Pentagon. Wolfowitz is a close associate of Perle, and
reportedly has close ties to the Israeli military. His sister lives in
Israel. Wolfowitz came from the above mentioned Jewish thinktank, JINSA.
Wolfowitz was the number two leader within the administration behind
this Iraq war mongering. He later was appointed head of the World Bank
but resigned under pressure from World Bank members over a scandal
involving his misuse of power.
Douglas Feith
Under Secretary of Defense and Policy Advisor at the Pentagon. He is a
close associate of Perle and served as his Special Counsel. Like Perle
and the others, Feith is a pro-Israel extremist, who has advocated
anti-Arab policies in the past. He is closely associated with the
extremist group, the Zionist Organization of America, which even attacks
Jews that don't agree with its extremist views. Feith frequently speaks
at ZOA conferences. Feith runs a small law firm, Feith and Zell, which
only has one International office, in Israel. The majority of their
legal work is representing Israeli interests. His firm's own website
stated, prior to his appointment, that Feith "represents Israeli
Armaments Manufacturer." Feith basically represents the Israeli War
Machine. Feith also came from the Jewish thinktank JINSA. Feith, like
Perle and Wolfowitz, are campaigning hard for this Israeli proxy war
against Iraq.
Lawrence (Larry) Franklin
The former Defense Intelligence Agency analyst with expertise in Iranian
policy issues who worked in the office of Undersecretary of Defense for
Policy Douglas Feith and reported directly to Feith's deputy, William
Luti, was sentenced January 20, 2006, "to more than 12 years in prison
for giving classified information to an Israeli diplomat" and members of
the pro-Israel lobbying group American Israel Public Affairs Committee
(AIPAC).
Franklin will "remain free while the government continues with the wider
case" and his "prison time could be sharply reduced in return for his
help in prosecuting" former AIPAC members Steven J. Rosen and Keith
Weissman, [who] are scheduled to go on trial in April [2006]. Franklin
admitted that he met periodically with Rosen and Weissman between 2002
and 2004 and discussed classified information, including information
about potential attacks on U.S. troops in Iraq. Rosen and Weissman would
later share what they learned with reporters and Israeli officials."

Edward Luttwak
Member of the National Security Study Group of the Department of Defence
at the Pentagon. Luttwak is reportedly an Israeli citizen and has taught
in Israel. He frequently writes for Israeli and pro-Israeli newspapers
and journals. Luttwak is an Israeli extremist whose main theme in many
of his articles is the necessity of the U.S. waging war against Iraq and
Iran.
Henry Kissinger
One of many Pentagon Advisors, Kissinger sits on the Pentagon's Defense
Policy Board under Perle. For detailed information about Kissinger's
evil past, read Seymour Hersch's book (Price of Power: Kissinger in the
Nixon White House). Kissinger likely had a part in the Watergate crimes,
Southeast Asia mass murders (Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos), Installing
Chilean mass murdering dictator Pinochet, Operation Condor's mass
killings in South America, and more recently served as Serbia's
Ex-Dictator Slobodan Milosevic's Advisor. He consistently advocated
going to war against Iraq. Kissinger is the Ariel Sharon of the U.S.
Unfortunately, President Bush nominated Kissinger as chairman of the
September 11 investigating commission. It's like picking a bank robber
to investigate a fraud scandal. He later declined this job under
enormous protests.
Dov Zakheim
Dov Zakheim is an ordained rabbi and reportedly holds Israeli
citizenship. Zakheim attended Jew's College in London and became an
ordained Orthodox Jewish Rabbi in 1973. He was adjunct professor at New
York's Jewish Yeshiva University. Zakheim is close to the Israeli lobby.
Dov Zakheim is also a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and in
2000 a co-author of the Project for the New American Century's position
paper, Rebuilding America's Defenses, advocating the necessity for a
Pearl-Harbor-like incident to mobilize the country into war with its
enemies, mostly Middle Eastern Muslim nations.
He was appointed by Bush as Pentagon Comptroller from May 4, 2001 to
March 10, 2004. At that time he was unable to explain the disappearance
of $1 trillion dollars. Actually, nearly three years earlier, Donald
Rumsfeld announced on September 10, 2001 that an audit discovered $2.3
trillion was also missing from the Pentagon books. That story, as
mentioned, was buried under 9-11's rubble. The two sums disappeared on
Zakheim's watch. We can only guess where that cash went.
Despite these suspicions, on May 6, 2004, Zakheim took a lucrative
position at Booz Allen Hamilton, one of the most prestigious strategy
consulting firms in the world. One of its clients then was Blessed
Relief, a charity said to be a front for Osama bin Laden. Booz, Allen &
Hamilton then also worked closely with DARPA, the Defense Advanced
Research Projects Agency, which is the research arm of the Department of
Defense.
Judicial Inc's bio of Dov tells us Zakheim is a dual Israeli/American
citizen and has been tracking the halls of US government for 25 years,
casting defense policy and influence on Presidents Reagan, Clinton, Bush
Sr. and Bush Jr. Judicial Inc points out that most of Israel's armaments
were gotten thanks to him. Squads of US F-16 and F-15 were classified
military surplus and sold to Israel at a fraction of their value.
Kenneth Adelman
One of many Pentagon Advisors, Adelman also sits on the Pentagon's
Defense Policy Board under Perle, and is another extremist pro-Israel
advisor, who supported going to war against Iraq. Adelman frequently is
a guest on Fox News, and often expresses extremist and often ridiculous
anti-Arab and anti-Muslim views. Through his racism or ignorance, he
actually called Arabs "anti-Semitic" on Fox News (11/28/2001), when he
could have looked it up in the dictionary to find out that Arabs by
definition are Semites.
I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby
Vice President Dick Cheney's ex-Chief of Staff. As chief pro-Israel
Jewish advisor to Cheney, it helps explains why Cheney is so gun-ho to
invade Iran. Libby is longtime associate of Wolfowitz. Libby was also a
lawyer for convicted felon and Israeli spy Marc Rich, whom Clinton
pardoned, in his last days as president. Libby was recently found guilty
of lying to Federal investigators in the Valerie Plame affair, in which
Plame, a covert CIA agent, was exposed for political revenge by the Bush
administration following her husband's revelations about the lies
leading to the Iraq War.
Robert Satloff
U.S. National Security Council Advisor, Satloff was the executive
director of the Israeli lobby's "think tank," Washington Institute for
Near East Policy. Many of the Israeli lobby's "experts" come from this
front group, like Martin Indyk.
Elliott Abrams
National Security Council Advisor. He previously worked at
Washington-based "Think Tank" Ethics and Public Policy Center. During
the Reagan Administration, Abrams was the Assistant Secretary of State,
handling, for the most part, Latin American affairs. He played an
important role in the Iran-Contra Scandal, which involved illegally
selling U.S. weapons to Iran to fight Iraq, and illegally funding the
contra rebels fighting to overthrow Nicaragua's Sandinista government.
He also actively deceived three congressional committees about his
involvement and thereby faced felony charges based on his testimony.
Abrams pled guilty in 1991 to two misdemeanors and was sentenced to a
year's probation and 100 hours of community service. A year later,
former President Bush (Senior) granted Abrams a full pardon. He was one
of the more hawkish pro-Israel Jews in the Reagan Administration's State
Department.
Marc Grossman
Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs. He was Director General
of the Foreign Service and Director of Human Resources at the Department
of State. Grossman is one of many of the pro-Israel Jewish officials
from the Clinton Administration that Bush has promoted to higher posts.
Richard Haass
Director of Policy Planning at the State Department and Ambassador at
large. He is also Director of National Security Programs and Senior
Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). He was one of the more
hawkish pro-Israel Jews in the first Bush (Sr) Administration who sat on
the National Security Council, and who consistently advocated going to
war against Iraq. Haass is also a member of the Defense Department's
National Security Study Group, at the Pentagon.
Robert Zoellick
U.S. Trade Representative, a cabinet-level position. He is also one of
the more hawkish pro-Israel Jews in the Bush (Jr) Administration who
advocated invading Iraq and occupying a portion of the country in order
to set up a Vichy-style puppet government. He consistently advocates
going to war against Iran.
Ari Fleischer
Ex- White House Spokesman for the Bush (Jr) Administration. Prominent in
the Jewish community, some reports state that he holds Israeli
citizenship. Fleischer is closely connected to the extremist Jewish
group called the Chabad Lubavitch Hasidics, who follow the Qabala, and
hold very extremist and insulting views of non-Jews. Fleischer was the
co-president of Chabad's Capitol Jewish Forum. He received the Young
Leadership Award from the American Friends of Lubavitch in October, 2001.
James Schlesinger
One of many Pentagon Advisors, Schlesinger also sits on the Pentagon's
Defense Policy Board under Perle and is another extremist pro-Israel
advisor, who supported going to war against Iraq. Schlesinger is also a
commissioner of the Defense Department's National Security Study Group,
at the Pentagon.
David Frum
White House speechwriter behind the "Axis of Evil" label. He lumped
together all the lies and accusations against Iraq for Bush to justify
the war.
Joshua Bolten
White House Deputy Chief of Staff, Bolten was previously a banker,
former legislative aide, and prominent in the Jewish community.
John Bolton
Former UN Representative and Under-Secretary of State for Arms Control
and International Security. Bolton is also a Senior Advisor to President
Bush. Prior to this position, Bolton was Senior Vice President of the
above mentioned pro-Israel thinktank, AEI. He recently (October 2002)
accused Syria of having a nuclear program, so that they can attack Syria
after Iraq. He must have forgotten that Israel has 400 nuclear warheads,
some of which are thermonuclear weapons (according to a recent U.S. Air
Force report).
David Wurmser
Special Assistant to John Bolton (above), the under-secretary for arms
control and international security. Wurmser also worked at the AEI with
Perle and Bolton. His wife, Meyrav Wurmser, along with Colonel Yigal
Carmon, formerly of Israeli military intelligence, co-founded the Middle
East Media Research Institute (Memri),a Washington-based Israeli outfit
which distributes articles translated from Arabic newspapers portraying
Arabs in a bad light.
Eliot Cohen
Member of the Pentagon's Defense Policy Board under Perle and is another
extremist pro-Israel advisor. Like Adelman, he often expresses extremist
and often ridiculus anti-Arab and anti-Muslim views. More recently, he
wrote an opinion article in the Wall Street Journal openly admitting his
rascist hatred of Islam claiming that Islam should be the enemy, not
terrorism.
Mel Sembler

Jewish Republican and Former National Finance Chairman of the Republican
National Committee. The Export-Import Bank facilitates trade
