    How Israel Wages Game Theory Warfare

    by Jeff Gates

    In 2005, the Nobel Prize in Economic Science was awarded to

    Israeli mathematician and game theory specialist Robert J. Aumann,

    co-founder of the Center for Rationality at Hebrew University. This

    Jerusalem resident explains: the entire school of thought that we

    have developed here in Israel has turned Israel into the leading

    authority in this field.

    Israeli strategists rely on game theory models to ensure the intended

    response to staged provocations and manipulated crises. With the

    use of game theory algorithms, those responses become predictable,

    even foreseeablewithin an acceptable range of probabilities. The

    waging of war by way of deception is now a mathematical

    discipline.

    Such probabilistic war planning enables Tel Aviv to deploy serial

    provocations and well-timed crises as a force multiplier to project

    Israeli influence worldwide. For a skilled agent provocateur, the

    target can be a person, a company, an economy, a legislature, a

    nation or an entire culturesuch as Islam. With a well-modeled

    provocation, the anticipated reaction can even become a powerfulweapon in the Israeli arsenal.

    For instance, a skilled game theorist could foresee that, in responseto a 9/11-type mass murder, the mark (the U.S.) would deploy its

    military to avenge that attack. With phony intelligence fixed around

    a preset goal, a game theory algorithm could anticipate that those

    forces might well be redirected to invade Iraqnot to avenge 9/11

    but to pursue the expansionist goals of Greater Israel.

    To provoke that invasion required the displacement of an

    inconvenient truth (Iraq played no role in 9/11) with what

    lawmakers and the public could be deceived to believe. The

    emotionally wrenching nature of that incident was essential in order

    to induce Americans to abandon rational analysis and to facilitatetheir reliance on false intelligence.

    Americans were (predictably) provoked by that mass murder. The

    foreseeable reactionshock, grief and outragemade it easier for

    them to believe that an infamous Iraqi Evil Doer was to blame. The

    displacement of facts with beliefs lies at heart of how Israel, the

    worlds leading authority in game theory, induces other nations to

    wage theirwars.

    False but Plausible

    To displace facts with credible fiction requires a period of

    preparing the minds so that the mark will believe a pre-staged

    storyline. Thus the essential role of a complicit media to promote:

    (a) a plausible present danger (Iraqi weapons of mass destruction),

    (b) a plausible villain (a former ally rebranded as an Evil Doer), and

    (c) a plausible post-Cold War threat to national security (The Clashof Civilizations and Islamo-fascism).

    Reports from inside Israeli intelligence suggest that the war-planners

    who induced the 2003 invasion of Iraq began their psyops campaign

    no later than 1986 when an Israeli Mossad operation (Operation

    Trojan) made it appear that the Libyan leadership was transmitting

    terrorist directives from Tripoli to their embassies worldwide. Soon

    thereafter, two U.S. soldiers were killed by a terrorist attack in a

    Berlin discotheque. Ten days later, U.S., British and German aircraftdropped 60 tons of bombs on Libya.

    The following is a senior Mossad operatives assessment (published

    in 1994 in The Other Side of Deception) of that 1986 operation

    five years before the Gulf War and 15 years before the murderous

    provocation that preceded the invasion of Iraq:

    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 nexttarget. Were starting now to build him up as the big villain. It will

    take some time, but in the end, theres no doubt that itll work.

    Could this account by former Mossad case officer Victor Ostrovsky

    be correct? If so, Tel Avivs Iraqi operation required more pre-staging than its relatively simple Libyan deception.

    America the Mark

    From a game theory perspective, what is theprobability of a violent

    reaction in the Middle East after more than a half-century of serial

    Israeli provocationsin an environment where the U.S. is identified

    (correctly) as the Zionist states special friend and protector?

    During the 1967 War, the Israeli killing of 34 Americans aboard the

    USS Liberty confirmed that a U.S. president (Democrat Lyndon

    Johnson) could be induced to condone murderous behavior by Israel.

    Two decades later, Operation Trojan confirmed that a U.S. president(Republican Ronald Reagan) could be induced to attack an Arab

    nation based on intelligence fixed by Israel.

    For more than six decades, the U.S. has armed, financed, befriended

    and defended Zionism. This special relationship includes the U.S.-

    discrediting veto of dozens of U.N. resolutions critical of Israeli

    conduct. From a game theory perspective, how difficult was it to

    anticipate thatout of a worldwide population of 1.3 billionMuslims19 Muslim men could be induced to perpetrate a

    murderous act in response to U.S support for Israels lengthy

    mistreatment of Arabs and Muslims, particularly Palestinians?

    Israeli game theorists operate not from the Center for Morality or the

    Center for Justice but from the Center forRationality. As modeled

    by Zionist war planners, game theory is devoid of all values except

    one: the ability to anticipatewithin an acceptable range of

    probabilitieshow the mark will react when provoked. Thus we

    see the force-multiplier potential for those who wage war with well-

    planned provocations and well-timed crises.

    Israeli behavior is often immoral and unjust but that does not mean it

    is irrational. For Colonial Zionists committed to the pursuit of an

    expansionist agenda, even murderous provocations are rational

    because the response can be mathematically modeled, ensuring the

    results are reasonably foreseeable. That alone is sufficient for a

    people who, as Gods chosen, consider it their right to operate above

    the rule of law.
