Ehud Olmert's Ties to 9-11
18 June 2006
The first two months of Ehud Olmert's term as Israel's prime minister have been
described as "the bloodiest, deadliest and the most criminal period of the
58-year-old state of Israel." Although the controlled press overlooks the new
Israeli leader's crimes, Olmert's ties to the convicted Israeli criminal who
controlled airport security at Boston airport on 9-11 cannot be ignored.
Although Zionism is probably the most potent force influencing U.S. politics, it
is safe to say that it remains a political philosophy woefully misunderstood by
the majority of the U.S. population. Although President George W. Bush and his
war cabinet are advancing the Zionist agenda, an agenda which is promoted and
supported by nearly every member of Congress, Zionism and its bloody history are
subjects which most Americans know virtually nothing about. While American
universities offer courses and degrees in practically every subject imaginable,
a college curriculum offering a critical examination of Zionism and its history
is not to be found.
This public's general ignorance of Zionism, its goals and history, is compounded
by the controlled media, which grossly distorts and misinterprets Zionism to
make this most un-American philosophy appear to be something familiar and
benevolent. The well-documented history of Zionist terror and ethnic cleansing,
something which is well known to all Israelis and Palestinians, is strange and
unknown to most Americans, primarily due to academic and media censorship.
After the terror attacks of 9-11, which the evidence indicates involved Israeli
intelligence agents, and with more than 150,000 Americans engaged in costly and
disastrous wars in the Middle East, it is simply no longer sustainable for
Americans to remain blissfully ignorant of political Zionism.
ZIONISM AND COMMUNISM
Zionism, as a political movement, developed with Communism in the late 1800s
among the Jewish communities in the western regions of the Russian Empire. In
areas with large Jewish populations in Lithuania, Poland, Byelorussia, and
Ukraine, Zionism became a new national religion. From the beginning, the
Communist and Zionist movements were closely intertwined.
In the late 1800s, the religious-political ideology of Zionism led Jews in
search of a national identity to begin speaking and writing Hebrew, a language
which had not been spoken for thousands of years. Jews were considered a
national group in the Soviet Union and Jewish nationality was marked as such in
Soviet passports. A Jewish Autonomous Region was even established in the Soviet
Union in the area of Birobidjan in 1934 with Yiddish as the official language.
Although the Russian and Eastern European Jews known as the Ashkenazi are not
even Semites, but Slavic and Asiatic converts to Judaism, Zionist zeal led them
to identify themselves as "Hebrew," when for example, they entered the United
States at Ellis Island.
As Zionists had "reconstituted" the "Hebrew" language, the primary political
objective of political Zionism has always been the formation of a purely Jewish
state in Palestine, something which never existed in history. The fact that 20th
Century Palestine was already inhabited by Palestinians, many of whom are real
Semites, descended from the original Jews, Arabs, Greeks, and other races of the
Holy Land, was something the Zionists intended to use military force to correct.
The armed conquest and ethnic cleansing of Palestine was vigorously promoted in
the 1930s by Ze'ev (Vladimir) Jabotinsky, one of the most militant of Zionists.
Jabotinsky, born in Odessa in 1880, became commander of the Zionist militia
known as the Irgun in 1937. Jabotinsky headed the New Zionist Organization (N.Z.O),
the Betar youth movement, and the Irgun militia, three extensions of the same
extremist movement.
The Jabotinsky ideology maintains that the Jewish people have exclusive rights
to all the Land of Israel, which it claims extends from the Nile of Egypt to the
Euphrates River in Iraq.
OLMERT AND JABOTINSKY
Ehud Olmert, like his Russian-born parents who emigrated first to China and then
to Palestine, is an ideological child of Jabotinsky. Olmert's father, Mordechai,
was a devoted follower who joined the right-wing Herut movement and the Irgun
militia then led by the notorious Zionist terrorist Menachem Begin. Olmert's
intensely right-wing family lived on a cooperative farm called Nahalat
Jabotinsky. As a child, Olmert was a member of Betar, the militaristic youth
movement. Begin, the hard-line Israeli prime minister who held the credo "In
blood and fire Judea fell; in blood and fire Judea shall rise," would later
refer to Olmert as "Ehud, my son."
Olmert, a member of parliament since 1973, later became mayor of Jerusalem, the
occupied capital city of Palestine, and oversaw Israel's territorial expansion
of the city limits. The area that Israelis now call Jerusalem extends from
Bethlehem in the south, to Ramallah in the north, and Jericho is the east. In
the thinking of Zionists like Olmert, there is simply no place for the
Palestinians in the Land of Israel: "There is no choice: the Arabs must make
room for the Jews of Eretz Israel," Jabotinsky wrote. "If it was possible to
transfer the Baltic peoples, it is also possible to move the Palestinian Arabs."
The barrier wall that has been built across the West Bank is an idea straight
from the writings of Jabotinsky: "Zionist colonization, even the most
restricted, must either be terminated or carried out in defiance of the will of
the native population. This colonization can, therefore, continue and develop
only under the protection of a force independent of the local population -- an
iron wall which the native population cannot break through," Jabotinsky wrote in
his 1923 book, The Iron Wall: We and the Arabs.
"Talking peace and drumming up support for his realignment plan of settlement,
Ehud Olmert's eight weeks in power proved to be the bloodiest, deadliest and the
most criminal period of the 58-year-old state of Israel," Duraid Al Baik,
foreign editor of Gulf News wrote in a recent article, "Olmert: The criminal who
peddles peace."
"Since he was sworn in as the 12th prime minister of Israel on April 14, the
Israelis have killed more than 50 Palestinians and injured around 200 almost at
a rate of 1 killed and 4 injured per day," Al Baik wrote. "The new prime
minister has set a record, surpassing the one established by his predecessor
Ariel Sharon during the bloodiest days of the Palestinian uprising or intifada."
Seeking to foment a civil conflict among Palestinians, Olmert is now providing
weapons to support the "private army" of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud
Abbas, who is seen by many as a Palestinian quisling working against the elected
Hamas-led government.
The most egregious terrorist act, among the many recently committed by Israeli
forces, was the shelling of the beach in Gaza in which eight members of one
family were killed. This blatant act of Israeli terror was followed by the
official denial of responsibility although the Israelis had been shelling the
Gaza Strip at the time the family on the beach was hit.
Mark Garlasco, a military expert working for the US-based Human Rights Watch
group, was the first independent investigator to reach the scene of the crime
and found shrapnel from a 155 mm artillery shell. "My assessment [is] that it's
likely that this was incoming artillery fire that landed on the beach and was
fired by the Israelis from the north of Gaza," Garlasco said.
OLMERT AND ATZMON
Olmert, who has long been tarnished by allegations of financial crimes, was
implicated in a financial scandal involving forged receipts for donations to the
1988 Likud campaign, of which he was co-treasurer. This affair culminated in the
March 1996 conviction of three other Likudniks, including Menahem Atzmon, the
Likud treasurer. Olmert was also later indicted in the Likud affair, but was
acquitted. During the 1970s Olmert had worked in the law firm owned by another
Atzmon, Uzi Atzmon.
Menahem Atzmon, convicted in Israel, went on to become the founder and head of
International Consultants on Targeted Security (ICTS), the parent company of
Huntleigh USA, the airport security firm that ran passenger screening operations
at the airports of Boston and Newark on 9-11. Huntleigh USA is a wholly owned
subsidiary of an Israeli company called International Consultants on Targeted
Security (ICTS) International N.V., a Netherlands-based aviation and
transportation security firm headed by "former [Israeli] military commanding
officers and veterans of government intelligence and security agencies."
Menachem Atzmon, convicted in Israel in 1996 for campaign finance fraud, and his
business partner Ezra Harel, took over management of security at the Boston and
Newark airports when their company ICTS bought Huntleigh USA in 1999. UAL Flight
175 and AA 11, which allegedly struck the twin towers, both originated in
Boston, while UAL 93, which purportedly crashed in Pennsylvania, departed from
the Newark airport. The convicted Israeli criminal Atzmon also controls and
operates the German port of Rostock on the Baltic Sea.
Some 9-11 victims' families brought lawsuits against Huntleigh claiming the
security firm had been grossly negligent on 9-11. While these relatives have a
right to discovery and to know what Huntleigh did or did not do to protect their
loved ones on 9-11, Huntleigh, along with the other security companies, was
granted complete congressional protection in 2002 and will not be called to
account for its actions on 9-11 in any U.S. court.
Atzmon, a convicted criminal, political ally and co-defendant of Israeli prime
minister Ehud Olmert, was directly responsible for passenger and airline
security at Boston's Logan Airport, whence the two airliners which struck the
World Trade Center originated. Olmert's relationship with Atzmon and the failed
airport security of 9-11 is obviously more than coincidental yet the controlled
press in the United States has failed to investigate this Israeli link to the
terror attacks as it has with so many other links.
