Facts About Israel Our U.S. Media Don't Tell Us

The "security fence" being built is, in most places, twice as high as the Berlin Wall and much more fortified. It has little to do with security, and everything to do with a land grab. If it was for security, it would go between the Israelis and the Palestinians. It does not. It goes off into the Occupied Territories, taking about 80% of the water supply ( more precious than oil in the Mid East), and most of the fertile land. Many Palestinians are on the Israeli side. Some "security fence". It also separates thousands of Palestinians from their centuries old olive groves and croplands.
Israel Is A Threat To World Peace And A Prime Cause Of Terrorism
Thanks to our major media here in the U.S., just how many Americans are informed of the following facts?
The "security fence" being built is, in most places, twice as high as the Berlin Wall and much more fortified. It has little to do with security, and everything to do with a land grab.

Some "security fence". It also separates thousands of Palestinians from their centuries old olive groves and croplands.
Do very many Americans even know that?
Israel is a nuclear power. It is a bigger nuclear power than Britain. Not only is it a nuclear power, it has been for over 35 years. So long that it's Dimona nuclear facility in the center of Israel is old, leaking and an environmental hazard. Imagine a radiation cloud over all that precious oil, rendering much of it useless? Was this in our national interest to allow this situation to exist? Israel has never signed any international treaty regarding it’s nuclear capability. It is unregulated by the UN or any international nuclear organization. Their have been attempts to pass a resolution by Arab countries about Israel’s nuclear capability, but it never gets in our U.S. press. An Israeli diplomat boasted they could "hit any European capital" with one of their missiles.
Do any Americans at all know that?
Israel gets a full third of the U.S. foreign aid to the world. more than the continent of Africa. They are 1/10th of 1 percent of the world population. Plus, they have a sterling bond rating, because the 'loans' we give them are written off by our U.S. Congress each and every year. Perhaps the statesman and respected U.S. Senator Fulbright was correct when he lamented, "Israel controls the Senate" and former U.S. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Thomas Moorer, when he stated, "I've never seen a President-I don't care who he is-stand up to them [the Israelis]. It just boggles the mind. They always get what they want " Ariel Sharon said as much to Shimon Peres in the Knesset, in Hebrew, on Ocotber 2
2001, as reported by Israeli Radio: "Every time we do something you tell me America will do this and will do that...I want to tell you something very clear: Don't worry about American pressure on Israel. We, the Jewish people, control America, and the Americans know it."
This is reinforced by a comment made by the editor J.J. Goldberg of the Jewish U.S. newspaper, The Forward, as reported online by the BBC on May 7th, 2002: "Aipac has a lot of influence on foreign policy," "They work hard to ensure that America endorses pretty much Israel's view of the world and the Middle East."
Do more than a handful of Americans know that?
Of all the industrialized countries in the world, only the U.S. and South Africa do not have a national health plan. Israel, recipient of a full third of all our foreign aid - does.
Do most Americans know that?
There is a law renewed by congress that states if there is an oil shortage, Israel comes first, not our own country.
Do any Americans know that?
When the young American girl peace activist from Washington state, Rachel Corrie was murdered (yes, murdered)were we told the facts by our media? 1) Israeli military bulldozers knew of the presence of peace activists with orange vests. 2) It would only make sense that the Israeli military bulldozer operator would be able to see where he is going
3)Israeli military bulldozers, as a matter of policy, NEVER stop for a peace activist. It's a game of chicken and you better run like hell. Only she fell. He didn't stop, per policy. Even backed up back over her with a damn heavy bulldozer. 4)The piece de resistance. The clincher. ALL Israeli bulldozer operators destroying homes have an armored personnel carrier nearby directing the operator. If we are to believe the bulldozer operator is flying blind, that still leaves the APC driver, whose only job is to direct that army demolition machine.
What American know that?
Arafat has quasi-control over some Palestinian cities, the vast majority is under direct Israeli occupation. How could he possibly "control" these people?
Do Most Americans know that?
Almost all homes bulldozed by the Israeli Occupation Forces are because they do not have an "Israeli building permit",(something a Christian or a Muslim cannot get, but a
Jewish person can) are in the way of the huge new wall, or are too close to an Israeli settlement that says it is for security, but actually expands some more... very, very few are bulldozed because they are the unfortunate family members of a suicide bomber.
Do most Americans know that?
When our ship the USS Liberty was attacked by Israeli air and sea forces in 1967, many high in our government and military thought it was deliberate, including Secretary of State Dean Rusk and former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Thomas Moorer. Israel used unmarked jets to rocket and napalm our U.S. sailors sunning on the deck. They jammed a U.S. Naval frequency. A coordinated attack was also made by three Israeli motor boats. We saw the Israeli insignia on their motor boats - but they could not see the ten foot high USS Liberty name on the side of our ship, or the huge American flag, on a clear day. They methodically raked our life boats with machinegun fire, taking the third one out of the water (they were that close). They then put a hole through the middle of the ship, instantly killing 25 of our NSA intelligence people. The successful motor boat had it’s bell and wheel placed in an Israeli naval museum. No one was ever demoted or punished for the elaborate attack that lasted over an hour. It only ended when we contacted two U.S. aircraft carriers in the area. A Russian ship came by and assisted our wounded. In all 34 Americans died and 172 Americans were wounded.
What single American knows that?
When the precious oil we need for energy security is under the feet of the Muslim Arabs, why are we putting our boot on their necks, while unfairly taking Israel's side, right or wrong (a country that started the first occupation of Arab land and hence the terrorism). Instead of protecting our interests - Israel is out for Israel and is the prime cause of terrorism in the world, as they steal more and more Palestinian land.
How many Americans have put two and two together yet?
