• March 3, 2002  Electronic Intifada  "AIPAC, ADL refuse to condemn inclusion of ethnic cleansers in new Israel government Ali Abunimah, The Electronic Intifada, 3 March 2003  Leading pro-Israeli organizations in the United States have pointedly refused to condemn Ariel Sharon's inclusion in his new government of the National Union alliance parties whose members ran for election on a platform openly advocating the "transfer" -- or ethnic cleansing -- of the Palestinians. The National Union is made up of three parties, Moledet, Tekuma and Israel Beitenu and won seven seats in the recent Israeli election.   ....   The American-Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), widely regarded as the most influential pro-Israeli group on Capitol Hill, did not issue any statement marking the formation of the new government. Rebecca Needler, AIPAC's press secretary explained to me that, "we don't comment on domestic Israeli issues." When I asked her if she thought that the inclusion in the Israeli government of a party that openly espouses ethnic cleansing would make AIPAC's advocacy work more difficult, Needler replied, "Israel's coalition government is representative of a true democracy."  ....   Abraham Foxman The Anti-Defamation League (ADL), which boasts of "90 years fighting anti-Semitism, bigotry and extremism," also remained publicly silent. When I called for a comment, a woman named Sarah in the media relations office initially told me that, "we don't usually issue statements on changes of government in democratic countries." I later received a call from ADL National Director Abraham Foxman. I asked Foxman if his organization planned to issue a statement commenting on the inclusion of the National Union parties in the Israeli government. Foxman's first reply was "Why would we?" I countered, "because they ran on a platform in favor of physically removing all the Palestinians from their homeland."

The incidents in which hundreds of US service personnel, diplomats, and civilians were killed in the Middle East have been reported in the media. But the media seldom revisits these events, and scrupulously avoids analyzing why they occurred or compiling the cumulative toll of American deaths resulting from our Israel-centerd Middle East policies.

We’re concerned that Iraq is exploring ways of using these UAVs for missions targeting the United States."
• Sept 19, 2002 "The point is this: we know Iraq possesses biological weapons, and chemical weapons, and is expanding and improving their capabilities to produce them. That should be of every bit as much concern as Iraq’s potential nuclear capability." — Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld, Testimony before SASC, September 19, 2002 • "For eleven years he’s claimed he has had no weapons and, yet, we know he has." — President George W Bush, Remarks in Trenton, New Jersey, September 23, 2002 • "We know they [the Iraqi regime] have weapons of mass destruction. We know they have active programs. There isn’t any debate about it." — Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, Department of Defense Press Conference, September 26, 2002 • "[Saddam Hussein’s] got chemical weapons; he needs to get rid of them, all of them. He’s got biological weapons; he needs to destroy all of them. There’s no doubt in my mind he wants to have a nuclear weapon, and he’s got some capacity. I’m not saying he’s got one yet, but he’s developing the capacity, as we learned right after Desert Storm...The burden of proof is on Saddam Hussein." — President George W Bush, Remarks in Houston, Texas, September 26, 2002 • "We can have debates about the size and nature of the Iraqi stockpile, we can have debates about how long it will take him to reach this level of readiness or that level of readiness with respect to these weapons, but no one can doubt two things: One, they are in violation of these resolutions. There’s no debate about that. And secondly, they have not lost the intent to develop these weapons of mass destruction, whether they are one day, five days, one year, or seven years away from any particular weapon, whether their stockpile is small, medium or large, what has not been lost is the intent to have such weapons of mass destruction." - Secretary of State Colin Powell, Testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, September 26, 2002

• May 8, 2003    CounterPunch  AIPAC Hijacks the Roadmap How Israel's US Lobby is Stacking the Deck By JEFFREY BLANKFORT  It would be a mistake to view the Israeli cabinet's narrow approval of the Bush administration's "road map" on Sunday, (or Sharon's use of the word "occupation") as steps towards resolving the Israel-Palestine conflict or as a victory for President Bush. If there is any gloating to be done, it will be by Israel's domestic US lobby and it will largely be done in private.  ....  Had the administration not surrendered on Friday to Ariel Sharon's demands for significant revisions in the "road map," the Israeli cabinet might not even have taken the vote. Moreover, the president would not have been forced to make those concessions had not the Israeli prime minister been backed solidly by the pro-Israel lobby and by the majority of both houses of Congress. And thus, the supposedly immutable "peace plan" has foundered at the starting gate.  ...

• August 6, 2001 (B): Richard Perle, head of the Defense Policy Board and foreign policy advisor to Bush, is asked about new challenges now that the Cold War is over. He cites three: "We're concerned about Saddam Hussein, we're concerned about the North Koreans, about some future Iranian government that may have the weapon they're now trying so hard to acquire..." [Australian Broadcasting Corp., 8/6/01] Note that these three nations are the same three named in Bush's famous January 2002 "axis of evil" speech (see January 29, 2002). [CNN, 1/29/02] High US officials are later talking about attacking all three, even though there are almost no connections between any of them and al-Qaeda. [Newsweek, 8/11/02] Meanwhile, bin Laden and most top leaders of al-Qaeda and the Taliban remain at large. Was the 9/11 attack an excuse for the US to go after its enemies?
• September 11, 2001 (W): Five Israelis are arrested for "puzzling behavior" related to the WTC attacks. They are arrested around 4:30 P.M. after having filmed the burning WTC from the roof of their company's building near Liberty State Park, then shouting in what was interpreted as cries of joy and mockery. They were spotted by a neighbor, who called police and the FBI. The police tracked them down in a van with the words "Urban Moving Systems" written on the side. [Bergen Record, 9/12/01, Ha'aretz, 9/17/01] One man was found with $4,700 in cash hidden in his sock, another had two passports on him, and a box cutter was found in the van. [ABC News, 6/21/02] Investigators say that, "There are maps of the city in the car with certain places highlighted... It looked like they're hooked in with this. It looked like they knew what was going to happen." [Bergen Record, 9/12/01] One of these Israelis later says, "Our purpose was to document the event." [ABC News, 6/21/02] The FBI later concludes at least two are Mossad agents and all were on a Mossad surveillance mission. The FBI interrogates them for weeks. [Forward, 3/15/02] They are held on immigration violation charges and released 71 days later. [ABC News, 6/21/02] Their names are later identified as Sivan and Paul Kurzberg, Oded Ellner, Omer Marmari and Yaron Shmuel. [Forward, 3/15/02]

  Note: The Grand Jury is indebted to investigative reporter Christpher Bollyn of the American Free Press for the following information. For the full article, go to "Laser Beam Weapons and the Collapse of the World Trade Center" by Christopher Bollyn, American Free Press  February 14, 2002. The following are portions of Mr. Bollyn's article:
• 1998 (D): "The Air Force has begun a series of wargames entitled Global Engagement at the Air War College, Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama." The same article mentions that the military is working on a "variety of new imaging and signals intelligence sensors, currently in advanced stages of development, deployed aboard the Global Hawk, DarkStar, and Predator unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)..." [Department of Defense Annual Report, 1998] What is the relevance of this? Global Hawk is a technology that enables pilotless flight and has been functioning since at least early 1997. [Department of Defense, 2/20/97] To read the source document, go to Paul Tompson's Unanswered Questions
  April 23, 2001: A Global Hawk (equipped Boeing 737) plane flies 22 hours from the US to Australia without pilot or passengers. A Global Hawk manager says, "The aircraft essentially flies itself, right from takeoff, right through to landing, and even taxiing off the runway" (see 1998 (D) and September 25, 2001). [ITN, 4/24/01]
  
   
• Airborne Warning and Control System (AWAC)
  
  Available to Bush and Sharon
  
  The U.S. and Israel each have a fleet of AWAC aircraft with the capacity to utilize electro-magnetic pulsing (EMP) to disable on-board flight controls and communications of targeted aircraft and then to fly the targeted aircraft by remote control.
  
  The Special Intelligence available to Bush and Sharon via the Israeli "art students."
  
  There were 200 or more Israeli spies from Israel's CIA, Mossad operating in the United States prior to 9-11. Some agencies of the U.S. such as DEA were not privy to what was going on, arrested them and made a report of the many contacts of these spies with DEA. When arrested, they were sent back to Israel by the CIA. Nobody knows how many more spies there were who were not caught. There is evidence that some of these spies were attractive females who partied with the hi-jackers, drank with them, supplied them with the drug Ecstasy, and slept with them. It is alleged that these Israeli spies supplied Sharon and Bush with detailed precise plans of the hijackers well in advance of 9-11.

• Miller, Franklin, Gilon links from DailyKOS
• "On or about June 3, 2003, Franklin met with FO-3 [Naor Gilon] at the POAC [Pentagon Officers Athletic Club], and the discussion centered on a specific person, not in the United Status government, and her thoughts concerning the nuclear program of the Middle Eastern country and, separately, certain charity, efforts in Foreign Nation A."

  If Franklin and his Israeli handler - a nuclear weapons specialist - were talking about a woman whose "thoughts concerning the nuclear program" of a certain "Middle Eastern country" had some significance, then surely Judith Miller is a likely candidate. When we add in the business about "certain charity efforts in Foreign Nation A," the identification becomes even more credible: "Foreign Nation A" is Israel, the "charity efforts" consist of work on behalf of the Iraqi Jewish Archive, a joint project undertaken by Miller, Harold Rhode (Franklin's associate - and fellow suspect - in Feith's policy shop), and Ahmed Chalabi.
