This spring, Israel and US will showcase the largest ever
missile defense exercise and establish US command posts in Israel and
Israeli Forces will occupy EUCOM headquarters in Germany.
Between Thanksgiving and Christmas, Lt.Gen. Frank Gorenc, commander
of the US̢۪s Third Air Force based in Germany, visited Israel and
finalized the plans for â€Å“Austere Challenge 12â€�.
This misguided action will deploy several thousand American soldiers
in Israel and establish joint task forces that further entwine
US-Israeli policies that favor military muscle over diplomacy, equal
human rights and justice.
Presidential candidates pontificate over the dangers of nuclear
weapons in Iran and are oblivious to the danger to the American people
because of US support of Israel̢۪s military occupation of Palestine and
collusion in Israel̢۪s nuclear ambiguity/deception s.
As the West was adopting more sanctions against Tehran claiming Iran
is manufacturing WMD, Iran responded in a 10-day war game naval exercise near the strategic Strait of Hormuz.
All of the oil output of Saudi Arabia, the Gulf States, Iraq and Iran run through the Strait of Hormuz. Iran is well equipped with missile
boats and land-based missiles. It doesn̢۪t require much intelligence to
comprehend that Iran would close off the Strait of Hormuz as soon as the first plane from Israel or US entered Iranian airspace. The blowback
to the world̢۪s economy with the elimination of nearly a fifth of the
industrial nations̢۪ supply of oil would lead to the end of the world as
we all now know it.
What we all need to know is what Mordechai Vanunu, Israel̢۪s nuclear
whistleblower said just prior to Israel sending him back to solitary
confinement for 78 days in 2010-the outcome of his historic freedom of
speech trial and punishment for speaking to foreign media in 2004:
â€Å“Everyone knows Israel has 200 bombs-hydrogen,
nitrogen…No one wants atomic weapons in the Middle East….No one wants
Israel or the Middle East to have atomic weapons, because if Israel has
the bomb Iran will have the bomb.�
Â
Vanunu Mordechai,Nuclear Weapons in Israel-May-23- 2010.
What Americans desperately need to know is what Vanunu told me in 2005:
â€Å“President Kennedy tried to stop Israel from
building atomic weapons. In 1963, he forced Prime Minister Ben Guirion
to admit the Dimona was not a textile plant, as the sign outside
proclaimed, but a nuclear plant. The Prime Minister said, ‘The nuclear
reactor is only for peace.̢۪
>â€Å“Kennedy insisted on an open internal inspection. He
wrote letters demanding that Ben Guirion open up the Dimona for
inspection. The French were responsible for the actual building of the
Dimona. The Germans gave the money; they were feeling guilty for the
Holocaust, and tried to pay their way out. Everything inside was written in French, when I was there, almost twenty years ago. Back then,the
Dimona descended seven floors underground. In 1955, Perez and Guirion
met with the French to agree they would get a nuclear reactor if they
fought against Egypt to control the Sinai and Suez Canal. That was the
war of 1956. Eisenhower demanded that Israel leave the Sinai, but the
reactor plant deal continued on.
>â€Å“Kennedy demanded inspections. When Johnson became
president, he made an agreement with Israel that two senators would come every year to inspect. Before the senators would visit, the Israelis
would build a wall to block the underground elevators and stairways.
From 1963 to ̢۪69, the senators came, but they never knew about the wall
that hid the rest of the Dimona from them.
>â€Å“Nixon stopped the inspections and agreed to ignore the
situation. As a result, Israel increased production. In 1986, there were over two hundred bombs. Today, they may have enough plutonium for ten
bombs a year.� [1]
On 2 October 2009, The Washington Times reported that Obama agreed to keep Israel’s nukes ‘secret’ and
reaffirmed a 4-decade-old understanding that has allowed Israel to keep a nuclear arsenal without opening it to international inspections.� [2]
Three officials spoke on the condition that they not be named because they were discussing private conversations, but all said Obama pledged
to maintain the agreement when he first hosted Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House in May 2009.
Under the understanding, the U.S. has not pressured Israel to
disclose its nuclear weapons or to sign the nuclear Non-Proliferation
Treaty, which would require Israel to give up its estimated several
hundred nuclear bombs.
This nuclear deception was reached at a summit between President
Nixon and Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir on 25 September 1969, with
â€Å“the United States passively accepting Israel’s nuclear weapons status
as long as Israel does not unveil publicly its capability or test a
weapon.�[Ibid]
In 2007, the Nixon library declassified a 19 July 1969, memo from
Henry Kissinger, the then national security adviser stating: â€Å“While we
might ideally like to halt actual Israeli possession, what we really
want at a minimum may be just to keep Israeli possession from becoming
an established international fact.�
The â€Å“established international factsâ€� were exposed in 1986, when
Mordechai Vanunu told the truth and provided the photographic proof of
Israel̢۪s seven story underground WMD Facility that can be viewed on You
Tube:
Dimona-Israel Nuclear Weapons Factory,No Volume, by israel TV-10
Another established international fact occurred on 17 April 2010,
when Iran hosted a conference in Tehran on nuclear disarmament with
sixty countries represented.
Iran̢۪s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei issued a statement
delivered at the conference stating that nuclear weaponry was â€Å“haramâ€�
meaning prohibited under Islam and he also blew the doors off Israel̢۪s
and America̢۪s nuclear deceptions:
â€Å“If America’s claims of fighting the
proliferation of nuclear weapons were not false, would the Zionist
regime be able to turn the occupied Palestinian lands into an arsenal
where a huge number of nuclear weapons are stored while refusing to
respect international regulations in this regard, especially the NPT?
>â€Å“There is only one government that has committed a
nuclear crime so far. Only the government of the United States of
America has attacked the oppressed people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki with atomic bombs in an unfair and inhumane war…using or even threatening to use such weapons is a serious violation of the most basic rules of
philanthropy and is a clear manifestation of war crimes.
>â€Å“The greatest violators of the NPT are the powers who
have reneged on their obligation to dispose of nuclear weapons mentioned in Article 6 of the Non-Proliferation Treaty. These powers have even
surpassed other countries with respect to promoting nuclear weapons in
the world. By providing the Zionist regime with nuclear weapons and
supporting its policies, these powers play a direct role in promoting
nuclear weapons which is against the obligations they have undertaken
according to Article 1 of the NPT.
>â€Å“We believe that besides nuclear weapons, other types of
weapons of mass destruction such as chemical and biological weapons also pose a serious threat to humanity. The Iranian nation, which is itself a victim of chemical weapons, feels more than any other nation the danger that is caused by the production and stockpiling of such weapons and is prepared to make use of all its facilities to counter such threats. We
consider the use of such weapons as haram (religiously forbidden) and
believe that it is everyone̢۪s duty to make efforts to secure humanity
against this great disaster.�[3]
In 1987, from Ashkelon prison, Vanunu wrote:
â€Å“The passive acceptance and complacency with
regard to the existence of nuclear weapons anywhere on earth is the
disease of society today.
>â€Å“This struggle is not only a legitimate one – it is a moral, inescapable struggle.
>â€Å“Already now there are enough nuclear missiles to destroy the world many times over [and] this issue should unite us all, because that is our real enemy.
>â€Å“Is any government qualified and authorized to produce such weapons?â€� [4]
In 1961, John F. Kennedy warned:
â€Å“Every man, woman and child lives under a
nuclear sword of Damocles, hanging by the slenderest of threads, capable of being cut at any moment by accident, or miscalculation, or by
madness. The weapons of war must be abolished before they abolish us.�
Â
The ties that bind US-Israeli policies are not in the best interests of Americans-or anyone else in the world.
