Israels Hidden Faces : A Long Days Nightfor Us All

Why Do Most Americans Know Nothing About These Issues

Dr Alan Sabrosky (Ph.D, University of Michigan) is a ten-year US Marine Corps veteran

and a 1986 graduate of the US Army War College.

This is not intended for those who follow these issues, but as a primer for a general public(especially Americans) who do not follow them, and in fact are not even aware that they are issues!

Hoping that others may also find useful material in it.

Far too often, issues involving Israel and its actions are addressed in a sophisticated and complex

manner, often with little or no linkage among them. This is fine for professionals who are well versed

in the subject matter, and can infer detail and linkages where none is explicitly given or made.

But it is NOT so for a general public, most of whom are not even aware that these issues exist, and

have been exposed to a steady diet of pro-Israel propaganda throughout most if not all of their lives.

This can be used in many ways, but I would focus on state and local officials, newspapers and radio

and TV stations, and veterans groups. The classic grass roots approach is the only way to

circumvent the virtual lock the Zionists have at the national level in the political realm and the media.

So let us begin.

Towards a Changing View

I began as a supporter of Israel. I knew nothing of the Nakba (Israels ethnic cleansing of

Palestinians in 1948) and wouldnt have cared much if I had heard of it. In the years of death, ethnic

cleansing and resettlement of peoples during and after WWII, it just didnt matter. And with the

USSR supporting most of the Arab countries, US support of Israel (like Iran under the Shah) made

sense. It was only in the aftermath of the Six Days War (1967) that things changed.

Israeli Attack on the USS Liberty

On June 8, 1967, early in the Six-Day Middle East War, Israeli aircraft and motor torpedo boats

attacked the USS Liberty, a US Navy intelligence ship off the coast. Over 200 sailors and Marines

were killed or wounded. Israel declared it had mistaken the ship for an Egyptian horse transport, and

the US Government accepted that explanation. So did I, until 8 years later. Then I learned. Separate

attempts by the two carriers with the US 6th Fleet to launch aircraft to come to the rescue of the USS

Liberty were recalled: The first by Defense Secretary Robert McNamara; the second personally by

then-President Lyndon Johnson. Either rescue effort would have prevented most of the US casualties.

It is interesting to know that even then, the US Commander-in-Chief valued Israel more than the

lives of Americans in uniform. And isnt it a pity that nothing has changed?

But the Killer is 9/11, orchestrated by Israel

We have all heard of 19 named Arabs in 4 planes, bringing down the two tallest buildings at the

World Trade Center, striking the Pentagon, and putting one plane into a Pennsylvania field.

We have not heard the rest of the story.

It begins with WTC7, and creates an evidentiary trail leading directly to Israel and its cohorts in the

US.

WTC7so much more than the proverbial smokinggun

The 47-story WTC7collapsed straight down into its own footprint the

evening of 9/11, even though it was not hit by a plane.

This map depicts the layout of the World Trade Center, and the path of debris from the

impacting aircraft. Note that smaller buildings closer to the Twin Towers did not

collapse in that manner, even though at least one was hit by debris from a plane and others by debris

from WTC1 & WTC2.

A striking video involves an interview on Dutch TV with a Dutch demolitions expert named Danny

Jokenko.

The Implications of WTC7

First, the controlled demolition of WTC7 means if one building at the WTC was wired for acontrolled demolition, then all three were.

Second, the impacting civilian airliners were intended to provide a gruesome and shockingdistraction that would facilitate the actual destruction of the buildings by other means.

Third, any successful operation of this type requires expertise, access to the target(s), andeffective local support to facilitate post-attack escape & evasion.

Fourth, neither the 19 named Arabs nor any of their possible supporters in the US or elsewherehad the expertise, access and local support needed to do that.

Fifth, only Israel had the required expertise, access and local supportinside and outside ofthe US Governmentand a positive incentive to bring down those buildings, which was to

enrage the Americanpublic and bring the US into war against Israels enemies.

So much links Israel to 9/11Only a public confession is missing, e.g.

Many key Bush Administration officials came from PNAC (Project for a New AmericanCentury). All were Zionists (Israeli partisans). They wrote about the need for a catalytic

event to mobilize the American people. Eight months after coming into office, they got their catalytic event on 9/11, followed by the

wars their agenda required.

The company providing 24/7 electronic & personal security to the WTC, Kroll Associates, wasowned & operated by Zionists, as was the WTC itself as of July 2001.

The owners and their immediate relatives seem to have been uncharacteristically absent on themorning of 9/11. Hundreds of American Jews died at the WTC & the Pentagon, but as best as

can be determined, only 3 Israelis out of some 4,000 normally there, plus 2 more on the planes.

The senior fatality among WTC personnel was a retired Irish-American FBI agent in his firstdays on his job as Director of Security.

A private Israeli-owned security company called ICTS, registered in the Netherlands, providedsecurity services (sometimes through a wholly owned subsidiary) to all three airports from

which the four hijacked planes departed.

ICTS also provided security at the airports in Paris & Amsterdam, from which the so-calledshoe & underwear bombers respectively departed.

Bergen, NJ residents saw five people on a white van filming the attacks and visiblycelebrating. They had set up their cameras before the first plane hit. Police arrested them. All

were Israelis. Bomb-sniffing dogs reacted as if they had detected explosives, although officers

were unable to find anything. The FBI seized the van for further testing.

All 5 were later released at the instigation of Israeli & American Jewish leaders, some in theUS Government. Details are still classified.

A second van was stopped on the approaches to the George Washington Bridge. As CBSs Dan

Rather said in his live report:

Two suspects are in FBI custody after a truckload of explosives were discovered around the George

Washington Bridge. That bridge links New York to New Jersey over the Hudson River. Whether the

discovery of those explosives had anything to do with other events today is unclear, but the FBI, has

two suspects in hand, said the truckload of explosives, enough explosives were in the truck to do

great damage to the George Washington Bridge

[see:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CHq6JocvDM]

Those suspects and the incident then seem to have disappeared from the record.

NORAD (North American Air Defense command) and its fighters were conspicuously tardy.They should have intercepted the 4 aircraft within minutes but did not do so, due to a linked

series of failures to (1) get timely FAA reports of the deviating aircraft, (2) scramble fighters

from the closest bases, (3) intercept at maximum speed, and (4) redeploy already airborne

fighters to do the intercepts.

Several PNAC alums and their counterparts were in positions to affect that outcome.And as for the 9/11 Commission

A fatally flawed commission, not least because of its pro-Israel staffing. Many implausible details were accepted or allowed to stand without comment, such as the

delivery by a well-dressed man of an intact passport to a detective at the base of the Twin

Towersa passport used to identify one of the named hijackers, that somehow survived the

planes impact, the ensuing explosion and fire, and an 800-foot fall unaffected by wind.

The 9/11 Commissions Executive Director Philip D. Zelikow evidently ensured that nothingdeflecting attention from the 19 named Arabs, or toward Israel, would make the final report,

whose reading defies belief.

He also told an audience at the University of Virginia on September 10, 2002 that the realreason for his urging war with Iraq regardless of 9/11 was the threat against Israel. His

concerns and loyalties are at least consistent.

So just what is the US supporting?

History, policy, and governmental actions tell only part of the story, of course. The attitudes and values prevalent in Israel are also important, and almost unknown in the US. Here are some of both that speak volumes.

Attack on Gaza: Israels Way of War

The Israeli assault on Gaza in December 2008January 2009 is a classic case in ruthlessnessapplied to a densely populated urban area. In the operation, some 1,400 Palestinians were

killednearly a third of whom were women and children who had no conceivable military

roleand approximately 5,400 more were wounded.

Israel denied any excesses or significant casualties among

noncombatants. The evidence says otherwise. Differing estimates are presented here from:

(1) BTselem, an Israeli Human Rights organization;

(2) its Palestinian counterpart; and (3) the official Israeli military estimate.

You will note that the Palestinian organization has a lower figure of combatants killed than the other

two, but is still very close to that ofBTselem. Both consider police officers to be different from

combatants, while the Israeli military makes no such distinction.

Also the two Human Rights groups have nearly identical counts of women and children killed, while

the Israeli military minimizes those losses, perhaps considering families of dead police officers to bemilitants, too.

The first Israeli attacks

Israel opened its attack on Gaza with simultaneous strikes on numerous Palestinian police stations,

including the graduating class of a Palestinian police academy. Nearly a third of the so-called

militants killed were police officers and young cadets.

I was reminded of my own graduation from Marine boot camp, standing there in my new uniform

with my family and friends across the parade ground. It was a time of celebration.

But in Gaza, the Israeli strike forcemostly American-made, with American munitionscame, and

left this carnage.

Had I survived something like this at my Marine Corps graduation, I would want the perpetrators (to

quote Rahm Emanuel) dead, dead, dead

Then there were the militants who disguised themselves as children.

The name of the dead child on the right above is, or was, Kaukab al Dayah. It has been reported that

she was four years old. She died on Jan 16, 2009 during Israels Operation Cast Lead assault on

Gaza....compounded by the widespread use by Israel of white phosphorus and cluster bombs (both

provided by the US) in a densely populated urban area, the former a war crimeand therefore its

Israeli perpetrators war criminals. The image on the left below is a UN school under attack; the other

is a woman whose husband and baby daughter were killed by the white phosphorus shells that burned

her. A Jerusalem Tribunal seems to be in order

And we wonder why they, and so many others, hate the US . . .


13/23

Every international tribunal and agency that investigates Israel and

Palestine, including one headed by a Jewish judge from South Africa, has strongly condemned Israel

for this onslaught, among many others.

Joining the condemnation are many traditional US allies. This, too, few Americans understand.

But the US Government continues to exercise its veto in the UN Security Council to protect Israel

from any international sanctions.

On February 18, 2011, the US used its veto against all 14 other members.

This happens often.

In recent years, the US has used its veto power more than the other 4 permanent members combined

almost always on behalf of Israel.

An article of faith

A key issue is the extent to which an orthodox or ultra-orthodox version of Judaism permeates an

otherwise largely secular Israeli society.

The former Israel Defense Forces chief rabbi, Brig. Gen. Avichai Rontzki, told students in a pre-

army yeshiva program in 2009 that soldiers who show mercy toward the enemy in wartime will be

damned.

His views were controversial, but he was NOT repudiated by the Israeli government, and he

completed his full 4-year term.

His replacement is somewhat less extreme, but Rontzkis views are still popular in Israel, especially

with Jewish settlers and the ultra-orthodox.

So this is faith? (An Israeli girl inscribes her own message of hate)

One of the most extreme examples to emerge is a controversial book called The Kings Torah,

written by two settler rabbis. One chilling edict is that: The prohibition Thou Shalt Not Murder

applies only to a Jew who kills a Jew, write Rabbis Yitzhak Shapira and Yosef Elitzur of the West

Bank settlement of Yitzhar.

Non-Jews are uncompassionate by nature and attacks on them curb their evil inclination, while

babies and children of Israels enemies may be killed since it is clear that they will grow to harm

us.

Many in Israel condemned it.

Many also supported it.

Most Americans heard nothing about it.

Guess why

Then there is the Wall

One of the great ironies is that two decades after the Berlin Wall fell, Israel has been constructing an

Apartheid Wall around and within occupied Palestine, to protect Jewish settlers and contain

Palestinian resistance.

It has been noted that the most obvious historical parallel to the barrier is the Berlin Wall, which was

96 miles long. Israels barrier, still under construction, is expected to reach at least 403 miles in

length

The average height of the Berlin Wall was 11.8 feet.compared with the maximum current height of

Israels Wall 25 feet four times as long and in places twice as high as the Berlin Wall.

For the US, what was bad in Europe is fine in Palestine, if Israel wants it.


16/23

And the Jewish Settlers

There are perhaps a half-million Jewish settlers, many from the US & Russia, in Palestine.

Not all are religious fanatics, racist or violent.

But the most extreme ultra-orthodox beliefs, blatant racism and an affinity for violence have fertile

ground in the settlements, all of them on Palestinian lands illegally, except, of course, to Israel and

the US Government.

Their influence in Israel is significant and rising, the tip of an Israeli society that is far more racist,

militarist and intolerant than South Africa during apartheida point many black South Africans have

made repeatedly, but which somehow is never considered newsworthy by the mainstream media(MSM) in the US.

And as if that were not enough, here is the Israel we support and enable Israeli expansion of

settlements continues in East Jerusalem and the West Bank.

Their usual practice is for armed police to enter a Palestinian area at night and evict the residents,

then bring in Jewish settlers and protect them.

This is what happened to the woman in the picture and her family, losing a home of nearly a half-

century.

She and friends returned the next day to try to salvage something from the ruin of their life. This iswhat she met; the picture was taken by a friend.

Lovely, right? This is what the US protects with its pledges of eternal support for Israel

The face of an Israel it dares not let Americans see.

So why do most Americans know nothing about these things?

Accurate portrayals and graphics that leave no doubt about what Israel has done, to the US andto others, are rarely seen in the US.

The US Government generally, like the 9/11 Commission itself, studiously avoided anyevidence pointing to Israeli involvement.

Few in Washington, D.C.any branch, either party or independents, elected or appointeddare stand up & criticize Israel for anything.

And just WHO is in charge here?

Few Americans therefore even suspect what much of the world knows: Israel, through the ownership

of the mainstream media (MSM) and the leverage exercised by a hydra-headed pro-Israel lobby,

effectively controls the US Government, especially the Congress.

This is particularly true of candidates for the Presidency.

No one today can be a serious contender for President from either major party without what have

become obligatory pledges of fealty to Israel and laudatory appearances before major Jewish

audiences.


18/23

18

But I remember when that was not so, and when our President was expected to serve US & not

Israeli interests

The same holds for the Administration, no matter which party is in power

Almost all of the key US officials dealing with the Middle East were and are Jewish, many with dual

citizenship. (The neo-conservatives began as Jewish Democrats dissatisfied with President Carter,

but now include some who are not Jewish.) Those who are not are strongly pro-Israel, a virtual

condition of their appointment, confirmation and support by a Congress whose members compete for

Israeli approvalor keep silent Haaretz, an Israeli newspaper, remarked in late 2009 that Every

appointee to the American government must endure a thorough background check by the American

Jewish community. No surprise to Israelis, nor to anyone in the US policy community, but a great

surprise to most Americansif they ever heard or read about it.

Anyone in the US pointing this out, or even criticizing Israel in any way, is immediatelyassailed as an anti-Semite or (if Jewish) a self-hating Jew, no matter how ridiculous the

charges might be in reality.

This is not surprising. Israels politicians and supporters have no choice. Like lawyers whofind themselves defending a hopelessly guilty client with both law and evidence against them,

they pound the table and hurl vile accusations, hoping to quiet the accusers.

But it is important to understand that the current concept of anti-Semitism has nothing to dowith bigotry towards Jews or Judaism.

Indeed, the entire debate over Israel is not one of Jew versus anti-Semite as Israelssupporters would have everyone else believe. It is one of Zionists (supporters of Israel, not all

of them Jewish) versus Israels critics, a growing number of whom are themselves Jewish,

including some Israelis.

What anti-Semitism means now is any criticism of Israel, or its foreign or domestic policiesand actions, or its treatment of Palestinians, or of any individual in the US or elsewhere who

supports Israel.

The new charge of anti-Semitism is therefore intended to shield Israel in the face ofactivities that, to Israel & its supporters, are existential threats to delegitimize it, and not

an elementary quest for justice and peace, which to most Israelis means only their hegemony.

Media conglomerates owned or led by Zionists in 2011 control:

All of the major networks (ABC, CBS, CNN, FOX, NBC). All of the major national newspapers (New York Times, Wall Street Journal,

Washington Post, USA Today).

All three weekly news magazines (Time, Newsweek, US News & World Report). All major political journals (Nation, National Review, New Republic, Weekly

Standard).

Most of the major film studios in Hollywood and New York City. Most of the major publishing houses. Many ISPs (internet service providers)

..So what is this about the control of the US mainstream media (MSM)?

Media conglomerates owned or led by Zionists in 2011 control: All of the major networks (ABC, CBS, CNN, FOX, NBC). All of the major national newspapers (New York Times, Wall Street Journal,

Washington Post, USA Today).

All three weekly news magazines (Time, Newsweek, US News & World Report). All major political journals (Nation, National Review, New Republic, Weekly

Standard).

Most of the major film studios in Hollywood and New York City. Most of the major publishing houses. Many ISPs (internet service providers).Raising the subject of Zionist (pro-Israel, most

but not all Jewish) control of the media truly excites Israels supporters, not because it

is anti-Semitic but because it is (at least to them) an unspeakable truth.

Information is power, and the overwhelmingly Zionist-owned MSM makes sure that Americans see,

hear and read what Israel wants them to do.

This, plus the enormous financial leverage provided by a brigade of Jewish political action

committees (PACs) in the US, gives them effective control of both public opinion and the US

Government. The Congress has for decades accurately been depicted as Israeli occupied territory.


20/23

20

And this is what it looked like in 2001-2002

Zionist control has visibly increased today

CEOs and Directors of companies can change as often as Boards of Directors vote.

But if we could freeze frame the CEOs of the largest U.S. Media companies in mid 2002, covering

the aftermath of 9/11, the attack on Afghanistan and the lead-in to the war in Iraq, we would find that

ten outspoken Zionists ran the vast majority of U.S. television networks and other media companies

including movies, radio, and publishing at that time.

Note that all except Rupert Murdoch are Americans and Jewish; Murdoch is an Australian,

apparently with one Jewish grandparent, but a fervent & influential Zionist nonetheless.

The silence of the media on WTC7 and so many of the anomalies associated with 9/11 isdeafening. The natural tendency of the media is to investigate any alleged governmental

misdeeds with relish, seeing therein prestige and profits.


21/23

21

That the media did NOT do that with 9/11, and has generally either ignored or disparagedother efforts to do so, is because its ownership and management knew, suspected or feared that

any evidentiary trail would lead directly or indirectly to Israel and its US support base.

And lobbies, lobbies everywhere

Israel has so many PACs and supporting groups that it has a Conference of Presidents ofMajor Jewish Organizations to coordinate the activities of its current list of 51 members.

AIPAC (the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee) which focuses on the US Government(especially the Congress), is just one of those 51 members, although arguably the most potent

because of its focus on Washington.

The Israeli Government sponsored ICIC Hasbara (public diplomacy) offers a wide range ofservices.

The Hasbara Fellowships program extends this to campuses. StandWithUs continues this, with a strong pro-settler spin. The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) assails any effort to hold Israel accountable for its

actions, seeing anti-Semites (their own witches, perhaps?) everywhere.

Campus Watch Jihad Watch UN Watch Plus a host of funded policy and research centers, often at otherwise legitimate Institutes

and study centers, in Washington and elsewhere, catering to both liberals and conservatives of

any and all political persuasions

Epilogue: Costs & Consequences

The price the US pays

For the joy and satisfaction of providing unlimited and unquestioning support of Israel, we have had

a national tragedy (9/11); have waged two needless wars (Afghanistan & Iraq); and are being goaded

into a third equally needless war against Iran (with Syria to follow) by the same people who brought

us the others.

As of 2/2011, these wars have cost the US some $1.2 trillion, exclusive of the losses at the WTC and

the assistance we have provided Israel. Our casualties to date are approximately 67,000 killed and
