Diary edited by MyFDL editor. Although there is a disclaimer that diarist has permission to post entire article, we at MyFDL cannot actually take that chance so article cut down to stay within fair use and link to original is provided.
From time to time, articles surface about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which are so illuminating that they deserve full exposure. This one by Uri Avnery, the founder of Gush Shalom, an Israeli based peace activist group, is such an article. It tells us what was really happening behind the scenes for most of the past 45 years. The last lie is not actually covered: Netanyahu’s claim to support a Palestinian state, but the thinking that went on before is revealed.
THIRTY YEARS ago this week, the Israeli army crossed into Lebanon and started the most stupid war in Israel’s history. It lasted for 18 years. About 1500 Israeli soldiers and untold numbers of Lebanese and Palestinians were killed.
Almost all wars are based on lies. Lies are considered legitimate instruments of war. Lebanon War I (as it was later called) was a glorious example.
From beginning to end (if it has ended yet) it was a war of deceit and deception, falsehoods and fabrications.
THE LIES started with the official name: “Operation Peace in Galilee”.
If one asks Israelis now, 99.99% of them will say with all sincerity: “We had no choice. They launched katyushas at the Galilee from Lebanon every day. We had to stop them.” TV anchormen and anchorwomen, as well as former cabinet ministers have been repeating this throughout the week. Quite sincerely. Even people who were already adults at the time.

In Memoriam: Israeli attack on USS Liberty
Some USS Liberty Pictures…
Check out this comprehensive report submitted to the Sec. of the Army on June 8th, 2005…! (PDF, 35 pgs)
Yes, the Israeli government is a consistent liar but they’re just following the example set by other governments.
As I.F. Stone wrote “All Governments Lie”
That the U.S. government keeps supporting Israel DESPITE the evidence of the attack on the U.S.S. Liberty just shows how sick and diseased the U.S. government is.
Mahalo, shergald…! I’m a tad disappointed that it wasn’t published in it’s entirety…! Btw, It’s been far too long since I’ve last seen your fonts…! ;-)
*heh* You’re giving me a swollen head, ubet…! ;-)
Sorry that I can’t be more active right now or recently, but I am glad that you and Teller and a few others are keeping the site apprised of events in the Middle East, especially the ongoing plight of the Palestinian people and America’s complicity in the injustices being perpetrated against them.
Remember that Jacob Rubenstein, aka Jack Ruby, ran guns for Israel in its early days, and Ruby was a strip club running lieutenant of Crime Syndicate boss Meyer Lansky.
Lansky and the mob he ran was deeply involved with the OSS during WW2, and Lansky was contracted to protect the harbors from German sabatage. Lansky had huge casino assets seized by Castro in Cuba. The CIA was working with Lansky’s mob to assassinate Castro.
Lansky was also involved with the Mossad, as were many top level CIA people. Lansky hid much of his fortune in Israel.

Note to the editor: first thanks for publishing the diary. In regard to your concerns about copyright, I will just let you know more specifically that I received permission to publish in toto articles by Uri Avnery from his late wife, who was then acting as a site manager for Gush Shalom. The only provisos she made were that the article be published in its entirety and that a link back to the article be provided.
And we all thank Uri Avnery, who in spite of being at least 85 years of age, continues to actively write about this dreadful conflict and its injustices.
It is amazing how much we the public don’t know about what is happening behind the scenes in government. It is as if the mainstream media has all along been nothing more than a propaganda machine for the players. Why buy or read newspapers any more if you have to be a political detective to get at the truth.
Thanks for your input.
Thank you.

The Assassination of JFK Jr
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2609958516837855536
Who could not believe that the Rabin assassination had deep motivations which exceeded the religious extremists that eventually did the nasty deed.
Rabin, as such, was defying the Zionist program, the foci of Jobatinsky, Ben Gurion, Meir, Begin, Shamir, even Peres (the hypocrite), and others to take all of original Palestine into Israel, the Palestinian homeland bedamned. Netanyahu is just a continuation of that right wing Likud project to create a Greater Israel, which at times exceeded original Palestine to include portions of Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and Egypt.
The Rabin assassination has many more tenacles than the notion that it was an isolated religious extremist act.
Thanks for these further understandings.
I was told second hand that Mossad guys in Iraq were allowed to represent themselves as CIA in Iraq to US Army units.
They would draw up a mission plan, and then the unit would end up going somewhere completely different, and end up committing war crimes against Iraqi civilians.
Not surprising considering how Feith brought in the Israelis to oversee the torture of Abu Graib.
Israel and it’s US infiltrators like Feith, Wolfy, and Pearle had their eye on Iran for years before 9/11. If the Iraq operation went smoothly and civil war didn’t break out, Israel’s US proxy wouldn’t have any excuse to hang around Iraq to stage the Iran war.
Same goes for Afghanistan and Pakistan. Israeli jackals have probably been terrorizing those countries for years with the approval or cooperation with US infiltrators.
I think the tactic might come to US shores in the aftermath of an attack on Iran. They’ll call it Iranian terror, which will justify an all out war on Iran, the final wiping off the map of Palestine, and the declaration of martial law in America by whichever puppet sits on the throne at the time.
Then the internet can be fully censored of criticism of Israel. They’ll cite the anti-Israel views of Iranian terrorists, and they’ll set up a few blonde haired American lefties for fake terror attacks. These patsies will be in possession of over the top anti-Israel literature, and that will be cited as a reason to censor the Internet of criticism of Israel.
Just a hunch, but you know Foxman, Bibi, the Lieberman twins, Bloomberg, and Schumer are not happy to see Americans gaining their voice in opposition to Israel. You know they are not happy about the rumblings of dissent within the ranks of the Jewish Community.
The US economy is in a deep, deep recession, and millions of Americans have been traumatized by job loss, house loss, divorce, poverty, and homelessness.
Israel and its many, many supporters in the US obviously couldn’t care less, or they wouldn’t be salivating for a pre-emptive, global economy collapsing attack on Iran.
If millions more Americans join the ranks of the malnourished and homeless, Israel and Israel-firsters couldn’t care less.
You can be sure that all options are on the table to protect Israel from the American public turning on our puppet master.
It will be rationalized by the firm belief that Americans, like the rest of the Gentiles, are Nazis that just haven’t been activated by a charismatic leader yet. When you de-humanize everybody outside the tribe like that, any selfish narcissistic chauvinist ambition can be rationalized and justified, without an ounce of self-criticism.

Barney Frank and Gary Ackerman push Obama to free Pollard:
http://mondoweiss.net/2012/06/barney-frank-and-gary-ackerman-push-obama-to-free-pollard.html
Thanks, shergald.
Uri Avnery is my favorite commentator and the I/P conflict, and this article by him filled in several important missing pieces from my understanding of Israel’s first debacle in Lebanon.
The clip of JFK jr’s crash contains some errors.
Here is the the ntsb report.
I am familiar b/c a long time bf of mine was a pilot and studied crashes caused by pilot error.
Jfk jr. was landing at night, not in clouds but in a dark night where the moon was low.
He was only rated to fly with visual flight rules only, not instruments, and was not a very experienced or a particularly skilled pilot and had only logged 36 hours in the plane he crashed in. He didn’t bother to fill in his log books. This, to me signifies he was a sloppy pilot, and probably over estimated his own abilities and because of his lack of attention to this technical detail it’s likely he did suffer from spacial disorientation (trusting his instincts or feelings over the instruments)
I don’t see a conspiracy here, but an attempt to drum one up as regards to this crash.
As per the burial at sea and the cremation, this article says it was the wish of the family.
What?
The guy who GTMOized Abu Graib was Miller. He was a mormon. You should talk to Jeff Kaye about his.
The neocon zionists are shits but they aren’t the only shits, but they don’t do anything on their own and when they profit is when their interests overlap with some other fully American huckster war criminal and war profiteer also profits. And our hucksters gain by hiding behing israelis too. See stuxnet, training of MeK, and supporting Jundallah in bolochistan.
Also, plenty of Americans had own ownership cuban oil or in sugar plantations including the bacardi family, and the dulles brothers as well as others.
“And our hucksters gain by hiding behing israelis too.”
I’d say its vice-versa, and a cursory search of the CEOs of America’s TV Networks, Cable providers, publishing houses, and movie studios would make that abundantly clear.
When’s the last time we had a non-Jewish head of the Federal Reserve? When’s the last time it was audited?
When was the last time anybody on television asked any of these questions?
You know who has the power by who you are not allowed to criticize. It is perfectly acceptable to criticize the US. It is rarely acceptable to criticize Israel, or to note the overwhelming evidence that the Jewish individuals which dominate most all of America’s most powerful institutions, do not appear to be acting as individuals.
Has Jon Stewart or anybody else pointed out that all of the pressure for war with Iran is coming from Israel and the Israel lobby?
When Rick Sanchez pointed out the obvious, that the CEOs of the big networks are a lot like Jon Stewart, Jon Stewart accused him of “Jew-baiting”.
Jon Stewart Liebowitz is supposed to be our foremost media critic, but he’s never even mentioned that most all of the media conglomerates are run by Jews and have 99.9% positive coverage of Israel, and zero negative coverage of the Israel lobby.
Stewart regularly has war criminals like Bill Kristol on his show, and they laugh it up, much to the benefit of Kristol’s image.
Stewart’s brother is the COO of the NY Stock Exchange, fer chrissakes.
It’s a small little mafia in charge of the vast majority of information the US public consumes. If anybody’s successfully hiding, it’s Israel, its lobby, and the 5th columnists that dominate our banking system and media outlets.
Frank Rich was the other supposedly great media critic of our time:
http://usmediaandisrael.com/?p=353
What happened to Helen Thomas? She could challenge Bush and Cheney all she wanted.
We’ve been successfully brainwashed. When the economy collapses after an attack on Iran, most people will be 100% ignorant that it was AIPAC that successfully pressured so many Congressmen to act directly against the interests of the USA.
The public doesn’t even know what the Israel lobby is, much less how powerful and embedded in our establishment it is.
People will be starving in the streets, and they guy who points out that the Israel lobby was responsible for the Iran war will be shouted down as a raving anti-Semite.
And Wolf Blitzer will explain to his captivated audience that homegrown terrorists can be identified by their criticism of Israel.
Thanks SKF; I read the links and had the same perception; “I don’t see a conspiracy here, but an attempt to drum one up as regards to this crash.”
Here’s a story you never heard in our MSM. You also didn’t hear that Richard Perle was caught spying for Israel in 1970. Never, even when he was promoting the Iraq war as good for America on every frickin’ station every frickin’ day:
http://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/open-door-policy/
http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/assessment/2004/05/douglas_feith.html
The JFK documentary I linked to was the only evidence of conspiracy that I linked to. The other links were background.
Here it is again:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4200651149401330864
The evidence of conspiracy is the fact that all 9 pilots who had trained JFK Jr stressed that he was a very careful, cautious, meticulous pilot.
His flight book was never found.
the military was directed to search several hundred miles away from the crash site, even though it was well known the crash occurred just before the Vineyard airport, as he had already contacted them for his incoming landing.
Why would the military send the rescue team hundreds of miles away, for 7 hours or so? Maybe because a separate team was cleaning up the crime scene.
http://john-f-kennedy-jr.com/murdered.htm
Paul Wellstone suffered a similar fate.
Sibel Edmonds knows about our occupation. Jonathan Pollards at every level:
http://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/whos-afraid-of-sibel-edmonds/
Jonathan Pollard is very popular in Congress. It would be a career killer for any politician supporter, if Pollard wasn’t Jewish/Israeli:
Barney Frank and Gary Ackerman push Obama to free Pollard:
http://mondoweiss.net/2012/06/barney-frank-and-gary-ackerman-push-obama-to-free-pollard.html/comment-page-1#comment-461101
…X 2
You should stick to one conspiracy at a time.
The evidence of conspiracy is the fact that all 9 pilots who had trained JFK Jr stressed that he was a very careful, cautious, meticulous pilot.
False: There were 6 pilot trainers and they didn’t say this.
Basically, he had a problem with navigation.
Taken into consideration the weather conditions for his level of skill he shouldn’t have flown. Apparently there was some haze too.
This valve had a safety device on it so that it could not accidentally be turned to OFF. Turning it off during flight would be suicide, since at top speed, the engine will die in 45 seconds!! Because the results are potentially deadly, the valve cannot be turned by accident. A safety-release button must be pushed down and held while turning the valve. This piece of evidence is the smoking gun. It is positive proof of foul play.
Who ever wrote this doesn’t know jack. I don’t know much but they know less than me.
Also, the language used shows that they have already determined it’s foul play, then they look for evidence to fit their theory.
The plane was crashed.
From the Pilot’s Operating Handbook (POH)
Here is the exact same type of plane, a piper saratoga with an inexperienced pilot who had fuel switch problems. The tank lines were switched. The problem with newbs is they don’t know what they don’t know. They don’t even realize they have a problem and when that happens, they panic and don’t know how to recover.
This pilot died.
http://www.avweb.com/news/probablecause/193824-1.html
Also, running out of fuel in a single engine plane is not necessarily deadly like it is with a jet. They glide and can be landed in fields, on sand or roads without power. They could have even escaped from a water landing.
This plane was literally crashed so they hit the water hard and fast.
3) The sabotage: Kennedy’s plane had a black box. No other private non-jet plane on earth had one. False
The NTSB, says the battery had been removed, destroying all record of conversation in the cockpit. (NTSB page 10)
It didn’t say that. The battery was missing. The box was crushed, the data unrecoverable. key word is non nonvolatile so this is ambiguous to me..
Here is the same exact plane for sale:
Piper PA-32R-301T Saratoga II T
options: Flightcom DVR 300i Digital Voice Recorder/Clock
All planes have an Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT), which sends out a beacon signal in case of a crash. It took 5 days to locate Kennedy’s plane. Why? Was it missing? Disabled? The report says nothing.
Unknown. Beacons have to be deployed, are water or impact activated. they are supposed to float.
The autopilot must be turned on and have the destination or the parameters programed into it.
His was malfunctioning.
1) The rescue: This is enormouly important. The FAA radar tracked Kennedy’s plane crash. The U.S. Coast Guard has reported that Kennedy contacted the tower on his final approach. THIS IS ENORMOUSLY IMPORTANT!!! It means they would have known his plane was going down before it hit the water. FAA regulations require that a search begin immediately when a plane reports itself on final approach and does not land within 5 minutes. Yet it took them 14½ hours to send the first planes and boats to Martha’s Vineyard.
This is not true. He got clearance and instructions to approach when he came into the airspace. He was instructed to descend from 6000 to 3000 feet which he did. Then he began to climb when he left the airspace but didn’t make contact as he left.
When he didn’t arrive at 10:00 they called the FAA and looked to see if he had landed elsewhere or made contact. The had the coast guard deployed at 3:00 AM.
Because of who he was Bill Clinton deployed an armada to look for his plane in 20 square miles.
No record exists of him receiving a weather briefing or filing a flight plan.
As far as the fuel switch being in the off position, this is part of the checklist for take off, mid-flight and landing. Perhaps it was moved when he crashed, but never the less
these are not the actions of a methodical or meticulously careful pilot.
Also this: ” The throttle and propeller controls were found in the FULL-FORWARD position. ”
JFK Jr. was spatially disoriented.
That’s just general debunking. You can let someone sell you a bill of goods or you can find out for yourself. I gave you the NTSB report. Here’s a report on the investigation a year later. http://www.aopa.org/asf/asfarticles/sp0009.html
“When he didn’t arrive at 10:00 they called the FAA and looked to see if he had landed elsewhere or made contact. The had the coast guard deployed at 3:00 AM.
Because of who he was Bill Clinton deployed an armada to look for his plane in 20 square miles.
No record exists of him receiving a weather briefing or filing a flight plan.”
So they lost an armada-worthy Kennedy within a 20 mile radius, but waited 5 hours to do anything about it?
“You can let someone sell you a bill of goods or you can find out for yourself. I gave you the NTSB report.”
If it was a conspiracy, it was a high level one. The NTSB report would be kosher, there would be no flight plan, and a few random people would say things that would point to pilot error.
The NIST report on WTC7 wasn’t released for 8-9 years, and they had to invent a BRAND new physical phenomenon to explain its collapse. They never considered the possibility of demolition explosives in their 8-9 year investigation. A brand knew physical phenomenon was created instead.
“The throttle and propeller controls were found in the FULL-FORWARD position.”
Just sayin’, that would be the logical explanation given by Ivy League CIA conspirators with plenty of similar experience overseas.
JFK and RFK’s deaths both have plenty of government documents, testimonials, and accounts from military personnel to fill many History Channel documentaries.
Central Intelligence, moles and sheep-dipped agents in every department, often at the top.
Bigger the lie the easier the sell.
I wouldn’t doubt that elites would kill his magazine, but there is no evidence that anyone killed him. Why wouldn’t the other kennedys come out screaming about it?
Now, the Israeli firster/mossad still did it and its such a high level conspiracy no one knows about it?
You want to believe the conspiracies that are riddled with fallacies, even though I took the time to debunk major portions of them- myself, today. fine.
You’re also conflating jews with neocons and poisoning the well by throwing all these different unrelated scandals or conspiracies in the mix and ignoring other assholes.
You are singling out a subset of group for demonization.
Bernanke is a jew. so? He’s a banker too but not a neocon.
You know who else is a jew? Oliver Stone. Israelis hate him. His son converted to Islam. You know who is the biggest israeli supporter in the House? Nancy Pelosi. She is a catholic.
I’ll agree with you that Richard Perle and Douglas Feith should have never been allowed in a government position or near any linked organizations along with anyone who enabled them. They should have been deported at the least, and Netanyahu should sleep with the fishes.
But then this diary was about fabricated Israeli history.
I’ll admit that I haven’t done a ton of research on JFK Jr’s death. I’m even open to the possibility that Russian agents might have written everything skeptical that I’ve read and seen about it. I’ll do more research on that one. Obviously some curiosities, outside of the official explanation. Maybe not enough.
Thanks for researching that though. If our federal investigative agencies wrote an honest report on this political death, that would be nice. NIST didn’t do an honest report on 9/11, and neither did that Phil Zelikow directed 9/11 Commission. He was the author of the Bush Doctrine of Preemption, which was based on a paper Richard Perle wrote for Netanyahu and Israel. Because traitors like Richard Perle do things like tell Israel it change the regime of every non-puppet country in the region. Traitors like Richard Perle do things like that, and then join the top ranks of the host country, and parasitically convinces the American public that it is in America’s interest to do exactly what Perle suggested Netanyahu do.
And they might mention that Perle was caught giving Israel classified documents in 1970.
So Phil Zelikow, 9/11 Commission Director, wrote the Bush Doctrine. He also said in 2003 that Iraq was not a threat to the US, but it was a threat to Israel. But it was hard to sell the case to the American public, so they relied on other excuses.
He was also a foremost expert on the “searing effects” of historic events like Pearl Harbor on a society, and their psychological pliability in the aftermath of big events or tragedies.
He also wrote his first draft of the 9/11 Commission Report before the investigation even started, and he micromanaged the investigation, and limited access to documents to just a few of his closest staffers.
“You are singling out a subset of group for demonization.”
One third of the Supreme Court. Do you recall any debates in our MSM about Kagan’s nomination, about diversity on the court? 1.5% of the population, and 33% of the Supreme Court.
And Cass Sunstein is the favorite to be the next appointee.
Glenn Greenwald: Obama confidant’s spine-chilling proposal
Rahm Emanuel hires Sunstein, who hires Gruber to write inaccurately about HCR, and Krugman and many others cite this fake information in expressing their support for the HCR, shaped in part by Ezikial Emanuel, the brother of the IDF volunteer Chief of Staff, and the brother of the most powerful agent in Hollywood. The father of these three was a Terrorist in Palestine, and his group the Irgun blew up the King David Hotel.
Media – are you still pretending our conglomerates aren’t reading from the same script? Did you find much diversity in your search on the CEOs?
Fed – Ben Shalom Bernanke isn’t a neocon? His college housemate was Lloyd Blankfein, CEO of Goldman Sachs. Goldman Sachs made out better than anybody in that meltdown and handout. Goldman had a big stake in AIG, and AIG got bailed out. Who started AIG? Ken Star’s grandfather. Who ran it next? Hank Goldberg of the OSS, the CIA predecessor.
I was raised to have the same reaction you have when somebody raised this subject. I thought it was just anti-Semitic to believe that Jews dominate the media landscape and set the limits for acceptable discourse.
I was so sure it was anti-Semitic that I didn’t even think about researching the subject.
Oliver Stone pointed out that Jews dominate Hollywood, and that Wall Street funded Hitler, and they flipped out. Ari Emmanuel got on the phone with Haim Saban (FBI describes him as an Iraeli agent when they caught him conspiring with Jane Harman. Saban himself said “I’m a one issue guy, and that issue is Israel.”) and Ari and Haim called up CBS head honcho Les Moonves, who is the great nephew of David Ben Gurion.
Show me some evidence of substantial Gentile power in America, because I’m just not seeing it.
2 trillion dollar war in Iraq for Israel. The author of the Bush Doctrine and the 9/11 Commission Report admitted it was for Israel.
And nobody knows that. Why?
“But then this diary was about fabricated Israeli history.”
It all dovetails. Fabricated Jewish nationalist history.
“Bernanke is a jew. so? He’s a banker too but not a neocon.”
Alan Grayson, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Chuck Schumer, etc, etc wouldn’t describe themselves as neocons but that doesn’t stop them from wanting war with Iran, for Israel’s benefit, at US expense.
It’s terrifying, because Obama might not have much of a choice in the matter.
The world is terrified, and Jewish nationalists don’t care at all.
There are two distinct issues you’re referencing: Oligarchy, and Israel.
Saban himself said “I’m a one issue guy, and that issue is Israel...deport.
No, Bernanke isn’t a neocon.
The older families were called boston brahmins, or WASPs – White Anglo Saxon Protestants.
Their children still dominate Harvard and the ivy league colleges, and it’s why there is a Harvard monopoly in our government.

The Jews and Catholics have made inroads but Anglos are still there.
There are new Brahmin families but they are regarded as the nuevo riche, or social climbers and resented- they should know their place according to the old ones.

George Washington had a good farewell speech too. There’s a link to the full speech at the bottom.
The situation with Israel is asking for problems though. It makes citizens of the US resentful. There will be a backlash and they will have created it.
You know, we are still occupying Costa Rica though so Israel isn’t our only (adopted) colony.
You can add Henry Waxman, Lieberman, and Cantor to that group, and the fascist Cuban Ilena Ros Lehtinen, and Pelosi. Yup.
Deport.
Bernanke’s not in this group. He’s in the criminal banker group.
Actually, this was for Exxon and Halliburton. Cheney, Bush & Condoleezza. What israel wanted from Iraq was Abu Nidal dead, so Saddam killed him.
Israel has always wanted Iran, they owe them money for a secret gas deal that fell through they had with the Shah – Trans Asiatic Oil.
For some reason they seem to think they are entitled to it.
The author of the Bush Doctrine of pre-emption says otherwise:
