Washington, DC -- Why is George Walker Bush so Pro-Israel ?
By Mohammed Alomari
The key to seeing the level of the Israeli lobby's influence on the George
Walker Bush (Bush Jr) Administration is watching the appointments of the
following Israelis and pro-Israel Jewish advisors to posts in the White
House
or other Executive Branch Positions:
Note: The Washington Institute for Near East Policy is the Israeli
lobby's "think tank." Many of the Israeli lobby's "experts" come from
this
front group, like Martin Indyk.
1). Colin Powell -- Secretary of State, ex-chairman of Joint Chiefs of
Staff,
of Jamaican origin, he has one Jewish ancestor on his father's side. He
grew
up in a heavily Jewish-populated neighborhood in New York, and speaks
Yiddish.
The first day of being picked (12/16) he said he wanted to toughen
sanctions on
Iraq, and will work to "re-energize the sanctions regime."
2). Richard Perle -- One of Bush's Foreign Policy Advisors. He is
chairman of
the Pentagon's Defense Policy Board. He had worked as Bush's Jewish
national
security campaign advisor. A very likely Israeli agent, Perle was
expelled
from Senator Henry Jackson's office in the 1970's after the National
Security
Agency (NSA) caught him passing Highly-Classified (National Security)
documents
to the Israeli Embassy. He later worked for the Israeli weapons firm,
Soltam.
3). Paul Wolfowitz -- Deputy Defense Secretary, Bush's Jewish foreign
policy
campaign advisor, close associate of Israeli agent Richard Perle, and
reportedly has close ties to the Israeli military.
4). Robert Satloff -- U.S. National Security Council Advisor, Satloff was
the
executive director of the Israeli lobby's "think tank," Washington
Institute
for Near East Policy. Many of the Israeli lobby's "experts" come from
this
front group, like Martin Indyk.
5). Dov Zekheim -- Under Secretary of Defense and Comptroller. He was
Bush's
Jewish foreign policy advisor and reportedly holds Israeli citizenship.
6). Douglas Feith -- Under Secretary of Defense and Policy Advisor at the
Pentagon. He is a close associate of Perle and served as his Special
Counsel.
Like Perle and the others, Feith is a pro-Israel extremist, who has
advocated
anti-Arab policies in the past. He is closely associated with the
extremist
group, the Zionist Organization of America, which even attacks Jews that
don't
agree with its extremist views. Feith frequently speaks at ZOA
conferences.
Feith runs a small law firm, Feith and Zell, which only has one
International
office, in Israel. The majority of their legal work is representing
Israeli
interests. His firm's own website stated, prior to his appointment, that
Feith "represents Israeli Armaments Manufacturer." Feith basically
represents
the Israeli War Machine.
7). Elliott Abrams -- National Security Council Advisor. He previously
worked
at Washington-based "Think Tank" Ethics and Public Policy Center. During
the
Reagan Adminstration, Abrams was the Assistant Secretary of State,
handling,
for the most part, Latin American affairs. He played an important role in
the
Iran-Contra Scandal, which involved illegally selling U.S. weapons to Iran
to
fight Iraq, and illegally funding the contra rebels fighting to overthrow
Nicaragua's Sandinista government. He also actively deceived three
congressional committees about his involvement and thereby faced felony
charges
based on his testimony. Abrams pled guilty in 1991 to two misdemeanors and
was
sentenced to a year's probation and 100 hours of community service. A year
later, former President Bush (Senior) granted Abrams a full pardon. He was
one
of the more hawkish pro-Israel Jews in the Reagan Administration's State
Department.
8). Marc Grossman -- Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs. He
was
Director General of the Foreign Service and Director of Human Resources at
the
Department of State. Grossman is one of many of the Jewish officials from
the
Clinton Administration that Bush has promoted to higher posts.
9). Richard Haass -- Director of Policy Planning at the State Department
and
Ambassador at large. He is also Director of National Security Programs and
Senior Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). He was one of the
more
hawkish pro-Israel Jews in the first Bush (Sr) Administration who sat on
the
National Security Council, and who consistently advocates bombing Iraq.
10). Henry Kissinger -- One of many Pentagon Advisors, Kissinger sits on
the
Pentagon's Defense Policy Board. For detailed information about
Kissinger's
evil past, read Seymour Hersch's book. Kissinger had a part in the
Watergate
crimes, Southeast Asia mass murders, Chile dictatorship, and more recently
served as Serbian Dictator Slobodan Milosevic's Advisor. He consistently
advocates bombing Iraq. Kissinger is the Ariel Sharon of the U.S.
11). James Schlesinger -- One of many Pentagon Advisors, Schlesinger also
sits
on the Pentagon's Defense Policy Board and is another extremist pro-Israel
advisor. He consistently advocates bombing Iraq.
12). Robert Zoellick -- U.S. Trade Representative, a cabinet-level
position. He
is also one of the more hawkish pro-Israel Jews in the Bush (Jr)
Administration
who advocated invading Iraq and occupying a portion of the country in
order to
set up setting up a Vichy-style puppet government. He consistently
advocates
bombing Iraq.
13). Mel Sembler -- President of the Export-Import Bank of the United
States. A
Prominent Jewish Republican and Former National Finance Chairman of the
Republican National Committee. The Export-Import Bank facilitates trade
relationships between U.S. businesses and foreign countries, specifically
those
with financial problems.
14). Ari Fleischer -- Official White House Spokesman for the Bush (Jr)
Administration. Prominent in the Jewish community, he reportedly holds
Israeli
citizenship.
15). Joshua Bolten----Bush's Chief Policy Director, banker and former
legislative aide. Prominent in the Jewish community.
16). Steve Goldsmith -- Senior Advisor to the President, and Bush's Jewish
domestic policy advisor. He also serves as liaison in the White House
Office of
Faith-Based and Community Initiatives (White House OFBCI) within the
Executive
Office of the President. He was the former mayor of Indianapolis. He is
also
friends with Israeli Jerusalem Mayor Ehud Olmert and often visits Israel
to
coach mayors on privatization initiatives.
17). Adam Goldman -- White House's Special Liaison to the Jewish
Community.
18). Joseph Gildenhorn -- Bush Campaign's Special Liaison to the Jewish
Community. He was the DC finance chairman for the Bush campaign, as well
as
campaign coordinator, and former ambassador to Switzerland.
19). Christopher Gersten -- Former Executive Director of the Republican
Jewish
Coalition, Husband of Labor Secretary, Linda Chavez, and reportedly very
pro-
Israel. Their children are being raised Jewish.
20). Daniel Saul Goldin -- Head of NASA, National Aeronautics and Space
Administration. A leftover from the Clinton Administration, Golding is
frequently praised by the Israeli media as a friend of Israel.
21). Mark Weinberger -- Assistant Secretary of the Treasury.
22). Samuel Bodman -- Deputy Secretary of Commerce. He was the Chairman
and CEO
of Cabot Corporation in Boston, Massachusetts.
23). Bonnie Cohen -- Under Secretary of State for Management.
24). Ruth Davis -- Director of Foreign Service Institute, who reports to
the
Office of Under Secretary for Management. This Office is responsible for
training all Department of State staff (including ambassadors).
25). Lincoln Bloomfield -- Assistant Secretary of State for Political
Military
Affairs.
26). Jay Lefkowitz -- General Counsel of the Office of Budget and
Management.
27). David Frum -- White House speechwriter.
Now that Bush has hired these pro-Israel Jewish lobbyists to the highest
positions in the land, has escalated the bombing of Iraq, and already
sided
with Israel in killing Palestinian civilians, it is obvious that the price
of
the acheiving the White House involves selling out to the Israeli lobby,
much
like Clinton, before him.
