Defenseless Israel

Israel Retaliates Against Hamas in Gaza - Not Quite a Surgical Strike

[Originally published August 4. 2014]

We'll preface our remarks by noting that we don't take sides with either Hamas or Israel in this conflict. We find the actions of both reprehensible.

Lest I be categorized as a neophyte in this discussion, please note that my reputation is based on my experience as an analyst and operative within the US Intelligence and Military communities in the Counter-Insurgency and the Counter-Terror arenas, including conducting a successful counter-insurgency campaign in Asia. I later accurately analyzed and assessed anti-government political movements in Eastern Europe and Latin America.  I spent time in the Middle East, meeting with IDF and Mossad officers, and with US Intelligence officers monitoring events in Israel and contributed to an NIE on Israeli intentions.  I have, for the last 20 years, consulted on global threats to US interests, and  created an academic course on Counter-Terrorism -- the basis of which is "Understanding the Terrorist and His Motives".  

All told, I have more than 40 years of hands-on experience in this field, and have been recognized and rewarded by the SSCI, the DCI, and the CJCS for my expertise and accomplishments.

I have now come under highly emotional attacks for posting my own and guest blogs about the Israel/Gaza conflict, some of which have been uncomplimentary to Israel; so, I'll state a few facts, with a few simple questions which may add context to the conflict for the uninformed.

ISRAEL HAS ADVANTAGES:

1) Technical Intelligence Programs

Israel has one of the most sophisticated Intelligence programs in the world:

a) Electronically, it has hacked into the US DoD Intelligence Information System [DODIIS]

b) It created the Stuxnet and Flame viruses which disrupted the Iranian nuclear research program [but, those viruses also managed to escape into the ether, posing a global IT threat].

2) Seismic Sensor Detection System

Israel also has one of the most sophisticated sound and seismic sensor detection systems in the world, which allows it to detect the construction of tunnels, and the pitter-patter of little feet -- and construction equipment, deep underground. These technologies have been around since the Vietnam War and were quite sophisticated then, and we used them quite effectively to monitor the VietCong and other insurgent movements.

-- It is unrealistic to think that Israel would ignore that technology in a hostile environment.

3) Mossad

Mossad is Israel's version of the CIA -- one of the most sophisticated HUMINT espionage programs which successfully targeted every ally and potential adversary in the world [to include the US -- Jonathan Pollard, a Mossad trained espionage agent, springs to mind].


It strains credulity to understand why Israel fears the impact of the tunnels Hamas has been building.  We wonder how Israel could have been unaware of the construction of the tunnels, to include their precise origins in Gaza and their precise entries into Israel's territory.  It would also seem obvious that Israel should have been fully aware of every threat against it in Gaza by Hamas, to include the sourcing, delivery, and placement of every rocket launching site.

And, with the Iron Dome detection and protective canopy, are we to believe that these rockets pose more than an ethereal threat?  Israel brags that with the Iron Dome, the threat is minimal, and we believe that statement, given the casualty figures.  The number of Israeli casualties from these rockets is three civilians; and 63 IDF soldiers have been killed in direct combat; in Gaza, more than 1,650 Palestinians -- mostly civilians -- women and children, have been killed by the Israeli assault.

So, with all that intelligence, why did Israel not simply manage their assault through these tunnels, and use smart bombs for surgical strikes on the storage bins.

Instead, there has been massive aerial and ground artillery bombardment of the entire area, supplemented by missiles and naval bombardment.  These assaults have been followed by tanks and armored vehicles rolling through Gaza, supplemented by snipers in a mop-up exercise.

The latest development is that Israel has called up 16,000 reservists to boost its total to 86,000.
Is it possible to squeeze any more troops into Gaza?

TO SUMMARIZE:

Israel has one of the most sophisticated intelligence programs in the world with:

1) superb electronic, sound and intrusion detection capabilities

2) the full resources of the NSA [which it successfully hacked long ago] and which NSA    openly shares with Israel 

3) the full resources of the DOD Intelligence Information System [which it hacked long ago]

4) the US satellite monitoring system
    [the detailed elements of which Jonathan Pollard provided to Mossad]

[The US Intelligence system was penetrated by Israel long ago by recruited agents with Dual US-Israeli Citizenship.  Ask these folks, and he or she will admit their allegiance is to Israel, not the US in time of war.  Pollard repeatedly condemned the US for not supporting Israel - and that was his rationalization for spying for Israel [and the KGB.  Pollard was trained and tasked by Mossad, and delivered massive amounts of highly classified data to both Mossad and to the KGB.  He was convicted and imprisoned for 30 years.  Released on parole with orders to not leave the US, Mossad immediately placed him on a plane and jetted him off to Israel where he was hailed as a hero.]

Pollard: Israeli Hero

Pollard was designated as the most destructive spy in US history by the US Intelligence Community, stealing and selling US HUMINT, SIGINT, IMINT and documents and US satellite manuals and providing them to the KGB for a price; he rationalized that espionage [which caused the deaths of a number of US Intelligence personnel] by sharing these materials with Israel. 

After he had been monitored in his espionage activities by Military Intelligence and FBI counter-intelligence agents, his terminated security clearances would be miraculously restored, and the investigations would be called off [reportedly by US Military Intelligence Colonel (later Lt General) Sidney T Weinstein with whom he communicated between 1981 - 1984).

 

5) Ulitimately, Israel has the Iron Dome to detect and neutralize incoming rockets; a defense they have claimed for years as impenetrable.

---

Now, with all those resources, how are we to believe that a bunch of Hamas operatives, shooting off rockets toward Israel could not be detected ahead of time, and that Israel was incapable of locating, monitoring, and destroying the tunnels, supply systems, and the rocket launch sites.

Given those advantages, why would it be necessary for Israel to demolish all of Gaza, with the massive loss of life of close to 2,000 non-combatants, including women and children.  We wonder also at Israel's bombardment of schools and UN refugee safe-havens.  Were it any other country, the US Media would be screaming bloody murder -- and it is, literally, bloody murder.

3,500 Palestinian and Lebanese
men, women, and children died in this massacre

We recall the stated objective of the former Israeli Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon, a general we admired for his extraordinary military accomplishments, to champion the construction of Israeli settlements in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip -- displacing the Palestinians living there.  

Palestinians referred to him as The Butcher who routinely created confrontations with Palestinians which would justify his use of extreme force; these included the Qibya Massacre [1953] and the Shatila and Sabre Massacre [1982].  

Sharon remained immune from prosecution as his officers who volunteered to testify against him all suffered Breitbart Moments when their cars mysteriously exploded.

Some may recall the Palestinian's Second Intifada [uprising] which resulted from Sharon sending 1,000 of his troops into the most sacred Muslim al-Aqsa Mosque on the Noble Sanctuary [aka: the Dome of the Rock] in Jerusalem; this would be the equivalent of the Italian government sending 1,000 armed Carabinieri into Saint Peter's Cathedral in the Vatican.

[Notably, Israeli troops again stormed the Mosque in mid-July.]
Having riled up the Palestinians with this outrage, Sharon soundly defeated them and won political points with the Israelis for "protecting" them against the crazy, bloodthirsty Palestinians.

Israel has gradually consumed all but a small portion of what originally constituted Palestine

We refer again to the Israeli version of Manifest Destiny, in which the Palestinians are displaced to make room for Israeli settlers.  Former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, a brilliant general and architect of the Israeli Manifest Destiny program, created confrontations and battles with the Palestinians to justify driving Palestinians from their land so Israelis could settle there.  His proclaimed targets were the West Bank and Gaza where he projected the construction of Israeli settlements. 

But, as Prime Minister, Sharon orchestrated Israel's unilateral disengagement from the Gaza Strip and planned to unilaterally clear of the the West Bank of Israelis.

For this widely hailed and very popular effort to create a peaceful solution to the chronic hostilities, Sharon was attacked by his own Party, the Likud, which he left to form his own Party, Kadima - a major threat to the Likud's power. 

Oddly, Sharon then met with a sudden Breitbart-Moment and suffered a stroke in 2006, which put him in a permanent vegetative state.  Conspiracy theorists say that Shimon Peres orchestrated the "stroke" to eliminate Sharon's consolidation of power with a new political Party, which could have forced the end of Israel's Manifest Destiny.

But, that's all internal politics for Israel, and we should leave them to their own destiny.

Now, we do take issue with Israel meddling in US politics, even when they target folks who we dislike.  

If the politician is a corrupt dirtbag, he is OUR dirtbag, and it is not acceptable for brother Netanyahu or AIPAC to decide the fate of our dirtbags -- or, our foreign policy.

As we have noticed, for a Member of Congress, or a US Senator to speak out against the Israeli actions, particularly the Manifest Destiny program, it is the political kiss of death.  Even the strongest and most embedded of US politicians cannot withstand the onslaught of AIPAC attacks and the unofficial Israel lobby.

Jim Moran, a popular Congressman [D] in Northern Virginia, once made the mistake of criticizing Israel's role in drawing the US into war with Iraq in 2003.  He was immediately pilloried as being anti-Semitic by the News Media, and even by his own Party.  

Already vulnerable following a series of behavioral issues, Moran found himself a major target of The Washington Post and local TV News commentaries which threatened to end his political career.  Thus, he embarked on a tour of synagogues throughout the area offering his mea culpas and swearing his allegiance to Israel.

Rumor has it that AIPAC gained control of Congress through our AID program, general and military, which has funneled roughly $60 billion into Israel over the last ten years.  

And, what becomes of all that cash?  Some say that Israel funnels it back to the US, into AIPAC and a broad range of Israeli lobbying groups, the folks who are always ready with a fistful of "facts", snide remarks, ridicule, and innuendo -- and of course, the ubiquitous sobriquets of "anti-Semitism" for non-Jewish critics.

But, all that money doesn't just go to fund attack groups; there's plenty left over to line the pockets of Congresspersons or Senators, particularly come campaign time.  So, recognizing that a vote for financial aid to Israel is a guarantee of financial aid (compliments of US Taxpayers) to the politician who "supports" Israel, savvy politicians [particularly poor ones] waddle up to that pork trough and guzzle it down, stopping only periodically to proclaim their loving support for Israel.

AIPAC: Is Stewart a "Self-Hating Jew"?

Meanwhile, for American [and Israeli] Jews who speak out against Israeli actions and policies, the designation is "self-hating Jew"! 

which of course caught Jon Stewart off-guard when he addressed Gaza recently without congratulating Israel on its destruction of Gaza.

[Stewart is the son of an Ashkenazi Jewish family; his actual name is Jonathan Stuart Leibowitz.

His parody of Israel and its rather specious rationale for razing Gaze in its hapless search for tunnels and evil-doers resulted in such a massive verbal onslaught that he was stunned, particularly when he was warned by the network hierarchy that his program was at risk should he again poke fun at Israel.  Pretty heavy stuff -- putting fear into an extremely popular TV host -- of all things, a comedy show.

So, we wish Gazans the best of luck in resisting Israeli bombers, bulldozers, and settlers.  Your elected Hamas leadership has been manipulated into creating the scenario by which Israel can justify its assault on Gaza, and that has, unfortunately for you, become a self-destructive cause.

Don't look to the US for sympathy or assistance. You just don't understand how to exploit American political corruption.  If you did, you'd be pulling in $60 billion in aid as well and bribing US politicians with it, vs taking a sharp stick in the eye and listening to European platitudes.

Palestinian Genocide in 10 Seconds

This post was originally published in July, 2014; 

do you see history repeating itself? 

- as Israel seeks to eliminate the Palestinians completely?  

And, our Media becomes the propaganda center to justify this.

Time-Line Expansion of Israel Through the Eradication of Palestinians [1917 - Present]

This is the latest in our series of guest posts. 

The author requested anonymity given the hostile backlash 

we witness on those who criticize, or simply mention Israel without praise.

The comparison is made between the American "Manifest Destiny" process in which the Native Americans, who initially welcomed the European settlers and offered them food, medicine, and hospitality, were gradually forced off their lands, labeled as "savages" [read "terrorists" in today's political climate], conquered and removed to "reservations." 

In the history of the Native American relationship with the US Government, the federal government violated virtually every treaty, confiscating land that had been guaranteed to the Native American, and frequently raiding peaceful settlements, driving them into lives of squalor and poverty.  

[That precedent has been followed by Israel, which has violated almost every "Peace" agreement with the Palestinians since 1947!]

We are reminded of Custer's Last Stand, in which he and his men were defeated and killed at Little Big Horn after Custer's 7th Cavalry, as part of the "Sioux Wars", rode through Indian villages which were devoid of adult males (as they attended a massive Pow Wow to consider the USG Peace Terms), and slaughtered the women and children. 

Retribution came in the form of the Battle of Little Big Horn, in which 268 US Cavalry troops were killed.  Eventually, however, technology and manpower of the Whites defeated the Native Americans, replacing them with White settlers and towns while the "savages" were forced to resettle into "reservations", many of which are no more than run-down slums.

History Repeats Itself

I am ashamed of the treatment of the American Indian since the colonization of the Americas, but I wasn't alive then.   I am, however, alive today and I very clearly see our history repeating itself -- by our "Ally".

What is now the USA was once a land belonging to a people who settled it thousands of years earlier. Colonists, pioneers, settlers, et al., used Guns, Germs & Steel to kill off millions of natives. It would appear, based on the similar settlement patterns in the below time/motion illustrations [.GIFS], that Palestinians are being wiped out just like the American Indian, although today Israelis are using missiles, jet fighters, bombers, and naval bombardment -- plus IDF ground troops.

The massacre of American Indians was justified by calling them savages, while the killing of Palestinians is justified by designating them "terrorists" or "cavemen" as the IDF calls them.  After all, both were designated as enemies -- after they had reached their breaking points by having their lands and rights taken away.

Native American Lands
Disappearing in Manifest Destiny

Look familiar?

National Security Adviser Susan Rice referred to the imbalanced Gaza death toll as "alarming" while Jonathan Topaz of breaks it down:

"[The] lopsided death toll in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has come under increased scrutiny as the conflict has worn on. The Associated Press reported Saturday night that 1,047 Palestinians had died since the conflict began, with more than 6,000 wounded, compared with fewer than 50 Israelis.

        "The United Nations estimated last week that 75 percent of those Palestinians 
          killed were civilians [most of whom were women and children]."

SEVENTY FIVE PERCENT CIVILIANS?!

And, recent Israeli air and ground attacks were directed at UN facilities in Gaza which housed non-combatant refugees attempting to escape bombardment of their homes.

Recent events:

1) Gaza market bombed during Israel army 'pause'
At least 17 killed and 200 injured in Shujayea, an area Israel said was not included in four-hour humanitarian window.

2) Israeli fire kills refugees in Gaza UN school
19 die in Jabaliya attack condemned by UN agency as "source of universal shame" that breaks international law.

3) Israeli bombs kill 100 Gazans in single day
Hundreds of attacks send toll soaring, while Gaza's only power station shuts down after being hit.

Let's call a spade a spade: what is happening in Gaza is a War Crime. It is called Ethnic Cleansing and it is a practice reminiscent of the purges in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Rwanda, and Nazi Germany.  Seems the Israelis learned how this works from the Nazis, whose lead the Israelis are now emulating.  

Foreign Ministry of Israel, Institute of Historical Review, Reuters, Jewish Virtual Library

                                                                            Is there a pattern here?

                                                                       

                                                             Ethnic Cleansing?                    

                                                                   Genocide? 

 
Those terms have traditionally been regarded as War Crimes, and the UN intervened in some, to include the 1994 massacre of nearly one million Tutsis by Hutus in the Rwandan Genocide.  

Although Israel's attacks on Gaza have sparked condemnation around the world, with thousands of demonstrators calling attention to the situation, the US Media focuses almost exclusively on the scores of Israelis killed, and essentially ignores the more than one thousand Palestinians killed - most being civilian women and children.

                 Will the IDF banner be altered to resemble the swastika?

Is The World Anti-Semitic?

Israel's Urban Renewal Program of Gaza

What is Anti-semitism?

The internet is now filled with comments and videos condemning Israel for its assault and bombardments of Gaza hospitals, churches, office buildings, and residences, and the slaughter of civilians (including many targeted children by IDF snipers).

It appears now that Congress has decreed that anyone who criticizes Israel for its assault on Gaza is immediately labeled an Anti-Semite, and, legislation has reportedly been passed categorizing "Anti-Semitism" as a FELONY, punishable by loss of passport!!  Check to see if your passport has been blocked, or if you're on the "No Fly" list because you've questioned 1srael's actions.

[Check with your elected politician to see where he/she stands on this Bill]

This is now a more vitriolic issue since many Conspiracy Theorists believe that                     the murder of Charlie Kirk was executed by Israel's Intelligence Service M0SSAD because he was critical of Israel's genocide in Gaza.

Do we ignore the First Amendment?  

Is Freedom of Speech, offensive to some, but not to all, now a thing of the past?

To clarify, "Semitic" has traditionally referred to historical inhabitants of the Middle East and the Horn of Africa, of all faiths - but not immigrants from Eastern Europe (historically categorized as Ashkenazis - who are not descendants of Hebrew tribes)!  

The Khazar Khaganate

The Ashkenazis derived from the Khazar Empire, also known as the Khazar Khaganate, a warrior Turkic state that existed from the late 6th to the 10th century, covering parts of modern-day Ukraine, Kazakhstan, and Russia. 

The Khazars came under the rule of the Western Turkic Khaganate, but, when the Khaganate was dissolved in the middle of the following century, the Khazars established their own khaganate by conquering some of the neighboring Bulgar, Caucasian, and Slavic tribes. 

The Khazars were initially nomadic horsemen, though when they conquered their neighboring tribes, they gradually adopted their agricultural practices and settled down. Additionally, the Khazars engaged in trade as well, which enabled them to later develop into a strong commercial empire.

Although basically Turkic, the Khazar State bore little resemblance to the other Turkic empires of central Eurasia. It was headed by a secluded supreme ruler of semi-religious character called a khagan—who wielded little real power via tribal chieftains, each known as a bek. 

The Khazar State’s military organization also seems to have lacked the forcefulness of those of the greater Turkic-Mongol empires, which came under increasing attacks from the Byzantines in later years.

The native religion of the Khazars is thought to have been Tengrism like that of the North Caucasian Huns and other Turkic peoples. The poly-ethnic populace of the Khazar Khaganate appears to have been a mosaic of pagan, Tengrist, Jewish, Christian, and Muslim worshippers.

In the 9th Century, some Khazars (i.e., the Kabars) joined the ancient Hungarians. The ruling elite of the Khazars was said by Judah Halevi and Abraham ibn Daud to have earlier converted to Rabbinic Judaism.  

As the Byzantines grew more aggressive and powerful, the Kagan sought to unite all the  tribes under a single religion (i.e., Judaism) as a means of authoritarian/spiritual unified control to successfully resist the Byzantine attacks.

12 Tribes of Israel

The story here grows a bit hazy, but it appears the Khazars evolved into the Ashkenazis, who became the dominant tribes (though not of Ukrainian and Eastern Europe).

Oddly, those tribal descendants would be Jews by political absorption, rather than as descendants of  the Twelve Tribes of Israel - who were Semitic. 

But, the Ashkenazis (i.e., Israelis), by DNA testing, do not count as descendants of Middle Eastern Hebrews, and thus, they are not NOT SEMITES; so the term {oddly, DNA testing is not allowed in Israel}.

                Thus,

"ANTI-SEMITIC" would not apply to Israelis.

Moving forward to more modern times, historical records reveal that 60,000 German Jews emigrated to Palestine between 1933-39 who, reportedly, were sponsored and accommodated by Hitler via the Haavara Agreement.  

(That agreement included financial sponsorship for Jewish businesses in Palestine of DM105,000,000 (in today's dollars that would be more than US$2Billion).  

Israeli historians note that between 1933-41, approximately 247,000 European Jews emigrated (voluntarily) to Palestine.

But, returning to the story of anti-Semitism, or, anti-jewism in Germany, one wonders why the Germans were unfriendly to the Jews.  Much of this animosity apparently derived from the Versailles Treaty after WW1, which left Germany destitute.  

[The treaty held Germany solely responsible for World War I, imposing heavy reparations that crippled its economy and weakened the democratic Weimar Republic. This instability facilitated the rise of extremist parties, including the Nazis.  (There are historians who claim WW1 was created via the Rothschilds, who profited by financing both sides - as they did in the US Civil War)] 

Rothschild Coat of Arms

After WW1, both England and France were both somewhat impoverished; particularly England, which was heavily in debt to the Rothschild family, which procured a peerage for Sir Nathan Rothschild into Parliament's House of Lords.  

To prevent the Bank of England falling into bankruptcy, Rothschild essentially BOUGHT the BANK OF ENGLAND, in exchange for the Balfour Declaration which created the basis for the Zionist state of Israel - a haven for Jews worldwide. 

Recovery came through the Jewish banking system(e.g., Rothschild family) in which Germans could borrow money against their meager assets (houses, businesses, farms, etc.). The terms were usually egregious, but, absent this usury, the Germans had few, if any options. By 1930, many Germans had lost most of their assets due to foreclosures since they were unable to repay the loans and interest imposed.

Hotel Metropole (5 Star)

Breaking the banking system's choke hold on the economy of Austria and Germany, Hitler had Louis Nathaniel de Rothschild arrested and imprisoned in Vienna's Hotel Metropole. Germany demanded a ransom of the equivalent of $21 Million for his ransom.

(Louis' imprisonment was not terribly horrible, and he reportedly emerged a few pounds heavier from his exquisite dining.)

We also hear a great deal about Jews being forced to live in GHETTOS! and we immediately think of the impoverished Black ghettos in US cities.  

But, originally, the Jewish ghettos were self-imposed. 

The ghettos were, in fact, walled communities which the Jews built to house only Jews, and exclude the German heathens, whom the Jews labeled Goy or "subhuman".  

[At best, the Germans became servants of the Jews, in their own country.  Destitute Germans grew to hate their financial masters, and would later take extreme measures to even the score.]

(Today, Jews have created "ghettos" in various countries, where they live as a "protected" community.) Interestingly, when the US invaded Panama to arrest Noriega, the Jewish community was warned two days in advance of this Top Secret operation, thus none left their Ghetto; the Israeli intelligence network includes the Jewish cadre at the top levels of the Pentagon who share intelligence world-wide).

Jewish Gated Ghetto in Panama

For example, in Panama,            most (if not all) Jews live in a walled, gated apartment complex which excludes locals or foreigners. 

Oddly, some find this offensive.

But now, let's take a look at Jews in Western civilization.

It seems that the Jews in 3,000 years of history have managed to annoy the rulers in most of the world, usually because they were/are anarchists, Bolsheviks, and revolutionaries (like Golda Meir and Menachem Begin); thus, they were persecuted and expelled.  

(Bolshevik activities in America were the basis for the creation of the Sedition and Espionage Acts - although today, those acts are explained based on WW1 threats; in Russia, Bolsheviks were instrumental in overthrowing the Royal family and initiating communism.)

Jews, as highlighted in the Bible, were "money-lenders", and unpopular, but a necessary evil for Rome and the Middle East (which regarded Usury as a sin).  In the Hebrew Bible, the Book of Ezekiel classifies the charging of interest among the worst sins, denouncing it as an abomination and metaphorically portraying usurers as people who have shed the borrower's blood.

Jesus routs the Money Changers from the Temple

Jesus Christ, as depicted in the Bible, took issue with the Jewish money changers carrying on commerce in his father's Temple; 

[they would later condemn Him and demand his execution].  

An early example of the general attitude on usury (aka: banking loans)

So, that's a general history of Jews leading up to the pivotal Balfour Declaration which created the Zionist state of Israel - a haven for Jews worldwide.  And, the Jews flooded into Palestine, to be welcomed by the Palestinians into the British Protectorate.

As mentioned above, historical records reveal that 60,000 German Jews emigrated to Palestine between 1933-39, reportedly, sponsored and accommodated by Hitler via the Haavara Agreement which included financial sponsorship for Jewish businesses in Palestine of about $2 Billion.   

Between 1933-41, about 247,000 European Jews emigrated (voluntarily) to Palestine, at that time, Palestine was a large and fertile country with lots of room for expansion.  

But, with the establishment of the State of Israel in 1947, the atmosphere changed, as Eastern European (Ukrainian and Polish) anarchists arrived to solidify Israel's status for Jews only.

In 1940, the Stern Gang, disguised themselves as Arabs, and cooperated with the [German] Nazis to attack the British and US/Allied military troops in Palestine; they would later attack Allied airfields, railway yards, and other strategic British and US installations in Palestine.

The 1946 Irgun's demolition of the King David Hotel was blamed on Palestinian "terrorists", but follow-on British investigations revealed that the terrorists were, in fact, Irgun, some of whom were imprisoned, but not the ringleaders [Menachim Begin and Golda Meir who were anarchists from Poland and Ukraine].

In 1948, the Newly designated Israelis began ruthlessly attacking their hosts, Zionist paramilitary groups Irgun and Lehi [despite having earlier agreed to a Peace Pact] slaughtered 107 Palestinian Arab villagers, including women and children in a village of 600 people near Jerusalem.

The Nakba took place during and shortly after the 1948 Palestine war, including 

a) 78% of Mandatory Palestine being declared as Israel, 

b) the expulsion and flight of 700,000 Palestinians, 

c) the related depopulation and destruction of over 500 Palestinian villages by Zionist militias, and later the IDF (Israeli army) and 

d) subsequent geographical erasure, 

e) the denial of the Palestinian right of return, 

f) the creation of permanent Palestinian refugees, and 

g) the "shattering of Palestinian society".

Since the Nakba, Israel has declared the Palestinians as "terrorists" with the intent of removing (or killing) all the remaining Palestinians from Palestine.

During that process, Israel has repeatedly attacked the United States with false flag operations

The 1967 Six Day War  was ostensibly initiated by the Arabs, but the Israelis now brag they initiated it;

The US Navy posted the USS Liberty in international waters, nearby to monitor, and assist Israel, as needed (US DOD had advised the IDF and Israeli Diplomats of the identity, location, and mission of the ship).

The IDF strafed and bombed the ship, killing or wounding 200+ US Sailors, and IDF pilots were monitored by NSA laughing at how many American "pigs" they had killed (those records still exist at NSA).

The Israelis smirked and stated that they thought the USS Liberty, flying US flags, and marked as US, was an Egyptian "battleship", albeit with only small, defensive weaponry.

After the Israeli attack on the USS Liberty, Israel continued a series of false flag attacks on the US, to include the 1993 bombing of the WTC basement, and its most devastating attack on the World Trade Center Twin Towers in NYC - leading the US into non-stop Middle East Wars - killing and wounding thousands of US troops. 

At the Pentagon in 1981, I was a strong advocate of Israel, and wrote a number of position papers in the Black Book, supporting Israel. 

The (then) Army Chief of Staff (GEN Shy Meyer) assigned me as an Escort to accompany a group of journalists headed to Israel to report on the "war"; among them Pat Buchanan and Tom Braden (former OSS officer). 

As an Intelligence analyst (and former guerrilla operative in Laos/VN and Thailand), my combat experience was a good reference for the questions I would feed the journalists' questions - which tended to contradict the IDF briefings regarding the capabilities and equipment of the PLO; Pat Buchanan then was a syndicated columnist and more aggressive in his questions than Braden.

But, it appears the Mossad targeted Buchanan, destroying his hotel room, smashing his portable  typewriter, and destroying his notes, and deleting the report he sent to his Syndication editor in the US.   The desk clerk claimed Buchanan's's room had been destroyed by "PLO terrorists"!  

After he returned to the US, he learned that he had been dubbed an official "Anti-Semite" by AIPAC - with a number of newspapers dropping his column. 

My penalty was a bit different. Our bus crossed the desert and was stopped at an IDF checkpoint, where I was hustled off to meet with several Mossad operatives waiting to entertain me by stripping me naked, pummeling me, and then investigating my rectum with a broom handle. 

I inquired about my treatment, and the Mossad response was: 

                                                                       "Because we can" 

I protested that I would report their actions to the Foreign Relations Committee in Congress and suggest penalties. 

My Mossad hosts laughingly then advised me

"Go Ahead! We OWN your Congress!" 

On my return to the Pentagon, I reported these incidents to General Meyer and he advised that was the treatment all the US Military officers suffered at the hands of the Mossad - just to let them know Israel was omnipotent! He advised that he assigned me to the "Escort Duty" as an education process by which I would learn about Israel first hand.

USS Liberty After Israeli Attack

He also reminded me of the Israeli combat assault on the non-combatant observer ship USS Liberty, wounding/killing 200+ US sailors, as IDF gunboats or fighter aircraft strafed US sailors in the water.   

     (NSA recorded IDF pilots bragging about the number of American "PIGS" they had killed in their attack)

My brother, a Navy Captain, was in the Pentagon Operations Center with Admiral Tom Moorer as they monitored the USS Liberty's SOS  pleas for assistance, urgently requesting that President Johnson lift his order to the US Navy to NOT RESPOND to the USS Liberty  (lest it offend Israel). 

(Israel was assured of LBJ's cooperation since M0SSAD had worked with LBJ and the Bush family to coordinate the assassination of JFK; he was advised that such details might be leaked to the US Media were he not to cooperate.) 

I also advised my friends on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee of Mossad's claims, and they responded, quietly, "Israel DOES OWN CONGRESS".  And my political naivete' gradually evaporated, and my cynicism increased.

                                    And today, It is now quite obvious!

Today, any comment critical of Israel is immediately categorized as "Anti-Semitic", even though the Israelis are not Semitic descendants of the 12 Tribes of Israel, but instead, as referenced above, are immigrants from Eastern Europe (historically categorized as Ashkenazis - descendants of a Turkic tribe - in a geographical region which is now called Ukraine - which has its own Nazi army.  

Thus, there is no Anti-Semitism related to Israel; 

perhaps Anti-Ukrainism?
