Israel, a
Haven for Criminals?
|
Israeli law forbids the extradition of
its citizens, (some other countries have similar laws).
Theoretically, hence, any Israeli citizen around the world can
commit a crime, run to Israel, then (maybe) stand trial there, far
away from the scene of his crime, where witnesses and evidence are
way beyond the horizon. Note: Israel HAS in the past extradited
Israeli citizens to stand trial elsewhere, but the inconsistencies
in implementing this gives the worng message to Israeli
citizens/Jews living abroad. (Would, say, Israel be willing to
extradite Israeli/Jewish terrorists who committed crimes against
the Palestinians, to the Palestinian Authority?)
In Sep 1997 when a Jewish Maryland teenager,
Samuel Sheinbein was accused of killing and mutilating another
teenager, fled to Israel. Israel first refused to extradite
Sheinbein, then agreed, when the U.S. (Robert Livingston, R-LA)
threatened to halt the next installment of the Billions of Dollars
of aid the U.S. hands to Israel yearly. Israel said its consent to
the extradition of Sheinbein is based on a technicality of
Israel's citizenship law as Sheinbein's father left Israel before
1950. This is, possibly, an attempt by Israel to save face, so as
not to show that it gave in to American financial pressure.
Finally, on February 25th, 1999, Israeli courts decided against
extraditing Sheinbein.
"We're not pleased with the result,
because it's still a very short sentence in terms of what he would
have gotten here." - Maryland prosecutor Douglas Gansler in
response to Maryland teenager Samuel Sheinbein's sentence to 24
years imprisonment when he enters a plea in the Tel Aviv District
Court, adding that Sheinbein would probably have received a life
sentence had he been tried in the US. (from Jerusalem Post
08/25/1999)

Israel
and Money Laudering

Fundamentalist
Christians, the Bible and Israel
|
Based on their interpretation of the
Bible and its prophecies, fundamentalist Christians see the
Holocaust and Israel as fulfillments of these prophecies, equate
today's Israel, with Biblical Israel, and that today's Jews as the
descendents of Abraham. As a result, fundamentalist Christians
face the same dilemma that faces Israel today, namely, who fits
the definition of a "Jews". This also ignores the Jews'
assimilations throughout the centuries and the claim that many
Ashkenazi Jews are Caucasian (descendents of the Khazar), i.e.,
non-Semitic. Fundamentalist Christian supporters of Israel include
renouned evangelists Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson. Thus,
fundamentalist Christians shy away from criticizing Israel, while
blaming the Palestinians and Arabs for the problems in the Middle
East, often using distorted, out-of-context facts to support their
claims. At the same time, they ignore Israel's sins, especially
the original sin against the Palestinians that started the
conflict.

"In
the former days God did separate Israel for Himself and
give her the land promised to Abraham. Israel was special
among all the nations of the earth
(Deut.
7).
But ultimately the blessing upon Abraham was to be given
to all the nations (Matt.
28:19-20).
With the coming of Christ God fulfilled all the promises
to the fathers (Rom.
15:8).
In this age, "God does not show favoritism, but accepts
people from every nation who fear Him and do what is
right" (Acts
10:34).
All of
Israel's institutions were fulfilled in Christ --
including the land concept (Heb.
3-4).
The Old Testament clearly states that God kept His work
and gave the land to Israel. The notion that God had to
give the land "again" is without Biblical
foundation.
There
is nothing wrong with Jews living in a certain land, but
to claim a "divine right" to it and to employ this claim
as a basis for disrupting, hurting, and killing others is
wrong. God is not with people when they manipulate and
intimidate others. God uses the wicked actions of people
in His purposes, but He does not sanction them.

- Israel Can't
Hide From Its History Forever by
Greg Felton (Vancouver Courier 05/11/1997). In the old
Testament God promised the holy land to the descendants of
Abraham (Genesis XV: 18-21). The Khazar heritage of Ashkenazi
Jews is a historical fact, and hence forfeits their
Biblical Right to Palestine, which is often cited by
Israeli leaders and their fundamental Christian supporters. Famous
Ashkenazi Jews include Ben-Gurion, Sharon, Shamir, Weizmann, Meir
and majority of Jews today.

"King Hussein of Jordan was on the
[CIA] payroll from 1957 to 1977"
-- p.100 of Dangerous Liaison by A&L Cockburn (1991)
In the 1950's, after the CIA helped overthrow the Iranian
government of Mossadegh and install in its place the puppet Shah
government, Israel's Mossad helped the CIA create and train the
Iranian secret police: SAVAK. The SAVAK became known for its
savagery and repression of the people who opposed the Shah's rule
and his diversion of the country's resources (oil) to the west.
According to their officials, the CIA left the "hard stuff" (e.g.
torture methods), for the Israelis to teach the Iraninans. In
addition, in 1977 minister of defense Shimon Peres signed an
agreement for Iranian cooperation with Israel's ballistic nuclear
program called Project Flower. Also, with the help of the Shah
Israel transferred weapons and military expertise to the Kurds to
undermine the Iraqi regime during the 1960s-70s. The value of
Israel to the Shah was "the pervasive influence of the Jews
in the U.S. and indeed the world over." (See A Cockburn's
Dangerous Liaison, 1991 pp.102-105, and 107.)

When it suits its interests, the
United States waves the U.N. flag high calling for the
"implementation of the security council resolutions." When it's
opposite to its interests, such as in the case of Israel, no
mention of the U.N. resolution violation by the latter.
Furthermore, the US often undermines the U.N. by vetoing,
threatening to cut funding, and other means to protect its
interests. In addition, when a dictator serves the interests of
the U.S., e.g. the Shah of Iran or the monarchs of the Persian
Gulf, then rewards will be showered on them by the U.S.,
conveniently ignoring the plight of the people whose voice is
repressed by the dictator. Consequences, in the case of the
dictator's disobeying the U.S., can be extremely severe. In the
case of Iraq, the response was several orders of magnitude of the
dictator's crimes against his people. A slow and merciless death
of the population by ostensibly legitimate sanctions killing thus
far 1.5 Million Iraqis, mostly children under 5. All done while
chanting pro-democracy and human rights slogan, waving the flag of
"making the world a safer place," ... etc, pointing a finger at
the dictator, not the U.S., as the cause of genocide.

case, Syria's "terrorist" classification is due to her rejection

"I

arms to go
easy on the bomb [building], once they had it, we
were going to send them a lot more, for fear that they
would use it."
-- Former CIA Tel
Aviv station
chief. (Dangerous Liaison, 1991)
|
Since obtaining the nuclear bomb, sometimes
in the 1960s, Israel has, at least implicitly, threatened the U.S.
to use it as a mean to pressure the latter to allow Israel a FULL
access to its arsenal of legal and illegal conventional
weapons.
President Johnson (in addition to evading
opening an investigation on the USS Liberty incident), may have
concealed the theft of American enriched uranium for use in the
construction of nuclear weapons in Israel. (-- See Dangerous

Water:
Israel's Real Interest in the Occupied Land?
|
|
"Of
the 601 million cubic meters [of water] produced
annually by the three aquifers in the West Bank, 56.6
percent (340 million cm) is earmarked for Israeli
citizens, 23.8 percent (143 million cm) for the 170,000
settlers in the West Bank and 19.6 percent (118 million
cm) for 1.2 million Palestinians. The West Bank water
crisis is a direct result of this unequal
distribution."
-- From a
08/26/1998 Ha'aretz Op'Ed by Amira Hass titled
The Settlers are Not to Blame.
Israel's Ministry
of Agriculture has admitted that relinquishing control of
the West Bank would have "an
immediate and significantly detrimental effect on the
Israeli water supply."
In a full-page advertisement in the Aug. 18, 1990
international edition of the Jerusalem Post, the ministry
admits that giving up Palestinian water would constitute
"mortal dangers" for Israel and
"would,
in a most tangible way, endanger her continued
existence."

Palestinians] have been granted for only 23 wells since 1967,
only three of these being for agricultural use.
From Cockburn's Dangerous Liaison,
1991, p.131: In 1953 Eisenhower cut off aid to Israel temporarily
because of its exploitation of the headwaters of the Jordan river.
After settling this dispute Israel diverted some of the waters of
the Sea of Galilee and the lakes above it (used by neighboring
Arab countries to irrigate its crops) to its Negev desert. While
this may have made Israel's desert "bloom", it helped turn the
Arab land into desert.

"With special gratitude we remember
all he has done for the persecuted Jews during one of the darkest
periods in their entire history."
-- Dr. Nahum Goldmann, president of the World Jewish Congress,
wrote in his letter of condolence on Pope Pius' death.
- The "Silence"
of Pius XII by Joseph Sobran
(03/19/1998) If the U.S. mainline media is our resource for news
then Pope Pius XII is an evil person who turned a blind eye to the
Holocaust. However, facts show that not only this is untrue, but
that Pius XII helped save hundreds of thousands of lives, Jews and
others. Pointing a finger at Pius XII is one of many smoke screens
Zionists spray in front of anyone who might find out about the
Zionists' silence to the Holocaust.

- Pius
XII and the Holocaust by James
Bogle and others (Catholic League/Salisbury Review Spring
1996). "Oskar Schindler, a Roman Catholic, is regarded as a
'righteous gentile' by many Jews for saving the lives of some
3,000 - 4,000 Jews in his factories. Why then is Pope Pius XII so
unjustly criticized, despite saving 800,000 Jewish
lives?"

1943 letter against Jewish statehood
revealed by Elli Wohlgelernter (Jerusalem Post 07/02/1999).
In other words Pius was an anti-Zionist, which might explain why
many of Israel's supporters have long tried to defame him using
the he-didn't-do-enough-to-stop-the-Holocaust weapon.
