Israel's supporters in the United States are sometimes the equivalent of a gang of thieves, and others, of spies. And often the thieves and the spies are one and the same. We know that the supporters of the fascist state that occupies and murders women and children are robbing American taxpayers, even during a stifling financial crisis like the current one, and send billions of dollars to Israel in the form of economic and military aid each year. The majority of these take the form of tax-exempt (or tax-evading) donations from the U.S., enabling [Israel] to continue its criminal policies that have rendered the United States the most hated country around the world, in contrast with its previous image of being a pioneer of freedoms, human rights and aid to poor and developing nations. Today, I will content myself with spies given the current reports regarding a deal to release Jonathan Pollard, in exchange for extending the moratorium on settlements for another two months, so that the direct peace talks do not come to an end, although they have barely started, and will not end in peace at any rate. Pollard is an American Jew who obtained Israeli citizenship while in prison. He was incarcerated after being convicted in 1987 and sentenced to life sentence, in a case where the names of other Israeli agents and diplomats in the Israeli embassy in Washington were mentioned. He stole a briefcase full of dangerous American secrets and handed it over to "diplomats" in the Israeli embassy. The Israelis then handed over to the Soviets, some of the major American tactical war plans in return for cash and in return for allowing Soviet Jews to immigrate [to Israel]. The Soviet intelligence services (KGB) managed to discover – thanks to these documents – the names of American agents, who were subsequently liquidated. An equal important result was that the KGB also learned the weaknesses in American covert operations, while the Americans are ignorant of the magnitude of Soviet espionage activities. Israel rewarded Pollard for undermining the security of the United States through the Knesset resolution that granted him Israeli citizenship, and named a square in Jerusalem after him (the square became known as the Freedom for Jonathan Pollard square). Also, a conference of the leaders of major American Jewish organizations organized a campaign entitled “Freedom for Jonathan Pollard”, which proves their treason and allegiance to Israel alone. Despite all of the above, Pollard is an exception to the record of Israeli spies in the United States. He was tried and convicted, while other spies were spared in spite of the damage they had inflicted upon U.S interests. The Dimona reactor was built by the French. However, its enriched uranium fuel came from the United States, specifically in a steel plant in Pennsylvania that was purchased by a member of the Haganah gang, who fitted it with a division for nuclear materials and equipment. According to the documents of the U.S Atmoic Energy Commission, 220 pounds of highly enriched uranium “disappeared” in 1965, and 587 pounds of the same substance disappeared in 1968, after four Israelis visited the plant. There are hundreds of FBI reports on this subject, but which led to only one conviction. Therefore, I personally hope that Iran is lying and that it is on its way to produce a nuclear bomb, although I have a thousand objections to the policies of the government of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The investigators of the FBI also failed to get a conviction for the real culprits, despite the abundance of evidence that includes recordings and images in the case of Larry Franklin, the official responsible for the Iran division at the Department of Defense, who gave Steve Rosen, director of Foreign Policy Research at AIPAC, and his assistant Keith Weissman, the expert on Iran, classified U.S documents on the peace process in the Middle East which the extremist Likudniks in and around the U.S administration are attempting to thwart. As a result, Franklin was sentenced to 12 years in prison while Rosen and Weissman were fired from AIPAC (as though firing them is an adequate punishment to a crime punishable by the death penalty in other countries). In fact, Rosen returned and is currently involved in American politics. Israel's spies would cram a whole encyclopedia, not just a book or an article in a newspaper. There is also Michael Ledeen who has been linked to the forging of the Niger documents in Rome. However, he is yet to stand trial, although such a trial would vindicate him if he is indeed innocent, instead of forever being under suspicion. Ledeen studied and worked in Italy. He is an expert on fascism and there are some who accuse him of supporting it. The Bush administration accepted forged documents regarding attempts by Saddam Hussein to procure uranium from Niger. However, the International Atomic Energy Agency decided in less than a day that the documents are forgeries, and managed to somehow learn something that 16 U.S intelligence agencies with a combined budget of 70 billion dollars couldn't. It is a nest full of the spies of Israel's gang, and in each case where a criminal traitor escapes punishment, further espionage of the sort is encouraged. [email protected]
