Israel
and
The U.S. Interest
|
"Israelis need to
understand that they're not the 51st state, and they
certainly don't want to be treated like America's stepchild.
Continued economic assistance when they're doing quite well
is demean
-- Representative
(now speaker of the House) Bob
Levigston at a press
conference in Jerusalem as part of a congressional
delegation to celebrate Israel's 50th birthday (Quoted in
Ha'aretz 11/10/1998).

(Zeros intentionally left). The
official, on-the-table U.S. aid to Israel --rarely, if at all,
addressed in the mainstream media-- is $3,000,000,000 (40%
economical and 60% Military) since 1984 and $2,500,000,000 since
1973. Add to that $1,271,000,000/yr for special gifts and programs
subsidized by the U.S., such as the Arrow missile and the Lavi
fighter, plus the loan guarantees of $10,000,000,000 over 5 years,
plus the interest ($500,000,000/yr) the U.S. must pay on money
borrowed to pay for the grants to Israel. The total for the past
five years (1993-1997) was around $6,300,000,000/year ($6.3
BILLION) or over $17 Million/DAY. This is more than what the U.S.
spends on domestic drug enforcement.
Perspectively, the total U.S. foreign aid to
the whole world (6 Billion people) is about $18 BILLION, so, the
one thousandth (1/1000) of the world population living in Israel
--with life expectancy higher than that of the U.S.-- gets
one third of US aid. Also, in 1990 Israel GNP is $24 Billion, i.e.
a quarter of Israel's income comes from the U.S. The Aid to Israel
is in the form of loans, which are typically forgiven by the
AIPAC-dominated congress.
The above figures do not include:
- the tax-deductible donations, mostly
by American Jews and Christian Zionists, to Israel totaling over
$1,000,000,000/year.
- the lumps of money Israel usually
demands from the U.S. upon each withdrawal from the
occupied territories during the current Peace Process, (for
example, Netanyahu is planning to ask the U.S. for about
$1,200,000,000 for the 13% withdrawal of mid-1998, to cover
costs).
- Israel Bonds sold in the U.S. for
$500,000,000/year
- the $1,000,000,000/year U.S. commercial
banks lend to Israel
- the $2,100,000,000/year the U.S. rewards
Egypt for signing peace with Israel
- The fact that unlike other countries,
Israel gets its US aid in one chunck at the beginnging of the
distribution year, instead of quarterly instalments. This allows
Israel to further make interest on that money over other
aid-receiving countries.
(For source on the above see the Washington
Report magazine and A & L Cockburn's Dangerous Liaison
1991). These figures are interesting considering that Israel has a
life expectancy and infant mortality HIGHER than the United
States'.
The American ship bombed mercilessly for over an hour by Israeli war
planes and torpedo boats during a cease-fire accepted by all
countries except Israel on June 8 during the June 1967 Middle East
war, right before Israel's conquest of the Golan heights. The result:
34 Americans dead and 171 wounded. The survivors were never given a
congressional hearing/a serious full investigation and were only
honored away from mainstream cameras in obscure places. The U.S.
government under president Johnson, refused to fully or seriously
investigate and accepted Israel's "mistaken identity" excuse almost
instantly. Prior to the attack, the Israeli planes circled the ship
on and off for over four hours. The ship flew a clear American flag,
identified itself as American to the Israelis, and was in
international waters. U.S. planes from neighboring USS Saratoga were
dispatched for help, but were later ordered back by Washington before
reaching the USS Liberty. In the words of George Ball, What followed
the attack "was an elaborate charade. The United States complained
pro forma to Israel ... which reacted by blaming the victims.
[Israel made a] reluctant and graceless apology.... American
leaders did not have the courage to punish Israel for the blatant
murder of its citizens."
(www.ussliberty.org/jim/ussliberty/ball.txt)
From Tom Clancy in his book "The Sum
of All Fears" (obtained from the USS Liberty site
above):
"The key to it, Qati knew, was
whether or not the Americans would put real pressure on the
Zionists. They'd never done so. They'd allowed the Israelis to
attack an American warship and kill American sailors--and forgiven
them before the bleeding had stopped, before the last victim had
died. When American military forces had to fight for every dollar
of funds from their own Congress, the same spineless body of
political whores fell over itself giving arms to the
Jews."

Espionage
Against the U.S.
|
Pollard, Jonathan: American civilian intelligence analyst
spied on the U.S. for Israel, who recently accepted responsibility
for his espionage (May 1998). Pollard "supplied the Israelis with
thousands of the highest classified documents, [800,000 pages,
Cockburns' Dangerous Liaison 1991] satellite photos, plans,
technical information, systems analyses and other information on U.S.
and U.S. allies' defense capabilities. He revealed our most sensitive
sources and methods data, threatening not only technical intelligence
but also our human sources." -- Joseph E. diGenova (lead prosecutor
in the Pollard case).
If you contribute to the fund for freeing Pollard, your contribution
is tax-deductible (James Akins, Washington Report 12/1999).

" "It is difficult for
me, ... to conceive of a greater harm to national
security than that caused by the defendant in view of the
breadth, the critical importance to the U.S. and the high
sensitivity of the information he [Pollard] sold
to Israel." -- Secretary of
Defense Caspar Weinberger in a court affidavit
|
"One document Pollard is believed to have
slipped to the Israelis --thought to have landed in Soviet hands,
albeit unintentionally-- was a huge compendium of frequencies used
by foreign military and intelligence services [which] cost
the U.S. billions of dollars but Pollard rendered . . . useless
[and, by compromising it] may have cost informants their
lives." -- Time magazine, Dec. 13, 1993

Israel, a
Haven For Jewish-American Criminals?
|
".. at least 206 pounds
of highly enriched uranium has disappeared from the Apollo
[Pennsylvania] plant...". "In July 1977 Congressman Morris
Udall, chairman of the House Interior Committee, convened hearings
and forthrightly billed the Apollo affair as a scandal in the same
league with Watergate, Koreagate, and My lai."
".. the agency [CIA]
had managed to obtain a sample of highly enriched Uranium from
Israel. The chemical "signature" specifically identified it as
uranium that had been enriched at the U.S. enrichment plant at
Portsmouth, Ohio, which was where NUMEC's [the Pennsylvania
Plant] enriched uranium came from."

Damage to
Defense and Technology

"CIA Director Robert Gates said yesterday that China has obtained
technology from the U.S. Patriot anti-missile system and that
differences remain within the Bush administration over whether it was
secretly supplied by Israel . . . When asked if the State Department,
in clearing the Israelis last April, ignored or downplayed
intelligence to the contrary, Mr. Gates said only, 'I will say there
are differences of view on the issue."' --Reporter Bill Gertz,

Blocking U.S. Arms Sales; Harming Defense
Jobs: "Israel's supporters regularly pressure Congress into
blocking military sales even to moderate Arab states that are
prepared to pay cash to receive arms for their own defense. In
1985, Saudi Arabia expressed its interest in an unprecedented
large purchase of F-15 warplanes from the U.S. When fifty-one
senators --a majority of the membership-- signed a letter to
president Reagan opposing the sale, Saudis turned to Great
Britain. The immediate sale was worth $7 Billion and eventually
reached about $30 Billion, the biggest arms deal in history."

"If the interests of the
two countries [Israel and the U.S.] were in
automatic harmony, there would be no need of an Israel lobby
here to see that Israel's interests are served. What we need
now is an American lobby in Jerusalem. No, come to think of
it, what we need is an American lobby in
Washington."
