Watching Israel Delegitimize the United States of America
By: JEFF GATES

What's behind the sudden crisis in Korea? Who benefits?
Which nation's nuclear arsenal is problematic?

The U.S.-Israeli relationship has long been America's
Achilles heel. Our first president warned against
"entangled alliances" particularly when, as here,
there's a "passionate attachment."

Our "special relationship" with this rogue state has
placed the U.S. outside the same system of international
law that we now seek to impose on others, including Iran.

Our handling of the current crisis on the Korean peninsula
could restore our tattered reputation.

What's the first issue that needs to be addressed?

Here's where you the reader may well ask: "Do you mean the
issue concerning the collapse of Building 7 of the World
Trade Center?" No, but nor is that question irrelevant to
this latest crisis.

Here's the second issue that must be addressed: to which
nations has Israel transferred nuclear weapons or nuclear
weapons technology? Is North Korea on the list?

That issue became relevant with the release of The Unspoken
Alliance: Israel's Secret Relationship with Apartheid South
Africa. Archival research by author Sasha Polakowsky-
Suransky uncovered "top secret" minutes of a military
agreement signed in April 1975 between Shimon Peres, now
president of Israel, and South Africa's defense minister
P.W. Botha.

Though Israel denies the conclusions reached by reporters
for The Guardian (U.K.), the agreement suggests an offer
of nuclear weapons while its Apartheid regime was under
international sanctions.

Israel was then building a surrogate arms industry in South
Africa using what was, in practical effect, slave labor.
That industry has since moved to Israel where it employs
"guest workers." Peres was responsible for building
Israel's nuclear program with help from France in the
1950s.

Some weeks before the offer, Israel and South Africa signed
a covert agreement (code name Secment) governing their
military alliance. In the subsequent meetings, "correct
payload" was used to describe the nuclear warheads Israel
would provide for a Jericho missile system. As The Guardian
explained:

"The use of a euphemism, the 'correct payload', reflects
Israeli sensitivity over the nuclear issue and would not
have been used had it been referring to conventional
weapons... the only payload the South Africans would
have needed to obtain from Israel was nuclear. The South
Africans were capable of putting together other warheads."

South Africa did not go ahead with the deal it was offered
though it did develop its own nuclear weapons, possibly
with Israeli assistance. The Apartheid government revealed
the program to Nelson Mandela when he became president.

In 1986, nuclear technician Mordechai Vanunu revealed
Israel's nuclear weapons program to the Sunday Times
(London). Vanunu was kidnapped by Mossad agents in Rome
and returned for trial in Israel. Sentenced to 18 years,
he served 11 years in solitary confinement. On May 23rd,
he was sentenced to another three months in prison for
breaking the terms of his release by having unauthorized
meetings with foreigners.

Evil Doers vs. Evil Doing

Even now Israel strives against all odds to maintain
"ambiguity" about its nuclear weapons. But how can
you offer nuclear weapons you don't have?

Who provided nuclear technology to North Korea? That back-
ward state, now nuclear-armed, was included in G.W. Bush's
post-911 "Axis of Evil" speech. Care to guess which Israeli-
American wrote that speech?

Shortly thereafter the U.S. invaded Iraq to remove an
Evil Doer. Only later did we learn that our "flawed"
intelligence was "fixed" around a goal long sought by
Israel as chronicled in A Clean Break, a strategy document
written for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by a
team of Israeli-Americans led by Richard Perle.

In 2001, Perle became chairman of the Pentagon's Defense
Policy Review Board.

The United Nations has long been scheduled to review the
1968 Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and to consider the
creation of a Middle East free of nuclear weapons. As the
date approached, the world community experienced a well-
timed torpedo attack on a South Korean warship, reportedly
by a North Korean submarine.

In the midst of these negotiations, mainstream media has
been flooding the national consciousness with power-of-
association stories about Iran, its nuclear program and
even its links to North Korea. Tehran, of course, was the
third member in the trio of Bush-era Evil Doers.

News outlets controlled by Israeli-American Rupert Murdoch
are particularly active, including Fox News and The Wall
Street Journal.

Is it true that Tel Aviv transferred to Pyongyang a German-
made submarine? If so, does that qualify as evil doing?

Perhaps here is a good place to pose an out-of-sequence
question: What about the collapse of Building 7?

Master Myth Makers

Does Israel routinely transfer war materiél to nations
subject to international sanctions?

That would help explain their status as the world's third
largest arms exporter. The U.S. holds first place with
Russia second. Israel and France vie for third and fourth
trailed by the U.K. and China in the Dirty Half Dozen.

If Israel has an extensive arsenal of nuclear weapons, why
does the U.S not insist on inspections?

How does U.S. protection of Israel's illegal conduct
advance U.S. interests?

How is our conduct consistent with the behavior we are
now pressing on Iran?

What is so valuable about the U.S.-Israeli relationship
that we should sacrifice our credibility to cover-up
violations of international law that make us appear guilty
by association?

By law isn't the U.S. obliged to support U.N. sanctions
for Israel?

Why discredit the U.S. and undermine the stature of the
United Nations? Wasn't the U.N. the post-WWII organization
founded in large part by the U.S. to discourage just such
behavior?

Serial Provocations and Murderous Misdirection

Instead of sanctions, what do we see instead? Misdirection
and intimidation.

The Internet is awash with Men in Black accounts featuring
the usual array of conspiracies. Elvis may yet be blamed
for a Korean peninsula incident that could ignite a nuclear
war in the region.

How long before we see a story blaming Hezbollah terrorists
led by the Pakistan Taliban aboard an Iranian submarine
advised by Syrian nuclear scientists and Palestinian
strategists?

Or aliens.

The stage has been set for another 911, possibly featuring
a nuclear incident. A series of "plausible" Evil Doers
have been prominently featured in assorted "terrorist
incidents."

Enough pre-staging has been done that Americans again feel
insecure following the media coverage given the Ft. Hood
shooting, the Christmas Day Bomber and now the Times
Square Terrorist.

One small problem: none of these storylines hold up under
close scrutiny. But then that's not the point. Neither
did the "intelligence" on which we relied to wage war in
Iraq in response to the provocation of 911. It didn't need
to be true, just believable.

Time to Redo the Report

Anyone of substance associated with the report of the
911 Commission knows we still need a good faith invest-
igation. Mainstream Europeans routinely call for it.
Those demands are routinely couched in code due to the
perils facing those in the EU who question our "special
relationship."

Instead, commentators ask about the "collapse" of Build-
ing 7. Good question. Also a fair question. The answer
could lead somewhere useful. Therefore, don't ask, don't
tell.

This entangled alliance has been an exercise in deceit
since a Christian-Zionist president, a Democrat, was
induced to extend recognition to an enclave of extremists.

Harry Truman dismissed the concerns of the Joint Chiefs
who warned him about their "fanatical concepts" and their
plans for "military and economic hegemony over the entire
Middle East."

We were deceived by our own better nature to embrace a
relationship that has long been at odds with our national
interest. The durability of the relationship has long
failed to pass muster as either rational or consistent
with our values. The relationship has changed for the
worse who we are as a nation.

Yet somehow the relationship endures. Along with the
perceived legitimacy of this "state."

Deception and Self-Deceit

Its persistence can be traced to the strength of a lobby
that, to date, has escaped registration as a foreign agent.
Those known for their skill at waging war "by way of
deception" have routinely betrayed the nation that first
befriended and most reliably defended them.

Even when a Christian-Zionist president, a Republican, led
us to war on fixed intelligence, we were unable to identity
the common source of our troubles. Some blamed G.W Bush.
Others now blame Barack Obama. Both critiques miss the
point. This treachery is now systemic and thoroughly
imbedded in both political parties.

Even now, an undisclosed media bias blocks Americans from
the facts they require to make an informed choice about
this relationship. And about the legitimacy of a trans-
national operation that murders with impunity (as in Dubai)
and provokes with pleasure?anywhere they please.

Americans are now emerging from many quarters to resist
the influence wielded on (and from within) our government
by special interests. This special relationship often
tops the list.

Many supporters of Israel have been deceived to believe
that this relationship is in their best interest. The
facts confirm otherwise. Like the nation itself, they
too were "the mark" in this long-running fraud.

We have been seduced by those masterful at deceit to freely
embrace the very forces that delegitimized us as a nation
and collapsed our economy from within.

Which brings me back to the question: what about Building 7?
