As
I stood at the Yom Kippur service, it hit me. This upcoming year is the
20th anniversary of the Oslo negotiations. Twenty years ago I and my
neighbor in Bet Shemesh, Joel Bainerman both signed book contracts and
began intense research which led in the spring of '92 to my book, The
Fall Of Israel (Canongate Publishers) and to Joel's, Crimes Of The
President (SPI Books). The highlight of Joel's research was Iran-Contra
and with his permission, his findings found their way prominently into
my book. Neither of us initially realized that we had exposed the ugly
criminality that led to the Oslo sellout of Israel.
Summarizing
Joel's findings; In 1984-5 navy clerk Jonathan Pollard sent reams of
stolen documents to Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres. One especially
caught his eye. He discovered an arms ship on the way from Greece to
Lebanon to buy the release of American hostages. Peres quickly assembled
his version of a dream team; Al Schwimmer, David Kimche and Ofir
Nimrodi and in September of '85 sent them to Washington to blackmail the
Reagan/Bush administration into expanding the one-time arms for
hostages operation in Lebanon to a full blown scam to free the 52
American hostages held by Iran. Peres would get his cut by supplying the
weapons from Israel.
Soon into the illegal operation,
Peres' men were exposed and they resigned from their posts. Undaunted,
Peres hired one Amiram Nir to replace all three and he worked with
Oliver North to exploit the Iranians. When North was subpoenaed to
testify in what became a congressional trial, Nir was similarly called
to Washington. Nir was preparing to spill the beans, which should have
seen the careers of George Bush and Peres end in long prison terms.
However, luckily for both of them, just prior to his planned departure
to testify, Nir was the sole casualty of a Cessna crash in Mexico.
Joel's
research proved that Nir met Bush at the King David Hotel in Jerusalem
and warned him that the operation would have no peaceful consequences.
"We are dealing with the most radical elements," he said. Bush lied to
the congressional committee, claiming he "didn't recall a thing," about
his meeting with Nir. And Nir never survived to remind him about what he
claimed to have forgotten. Joel was such a powerful investigator that
he uncovered the names of the 6 passengers on NIr's fatal crash and even
tracked one, the femme fatale it appears, to her home in Ontario.
Nir's
murder saved Bush, but he got his revenge. On September 17, 1992, at
Kennebunkport, Maine, President Bush ordered the new Israeli Prime
Minister, Yitzhak Rabin to begin negotiating with PLO. The Oslo
negotiations began in secret that November. And with them, the beginning
of the end of Israel was initiated.
Now look at the timing: In
September, 1992, Joel and I agreed to pool our talents into a monthly
newsletter called Inside Israel. Our first issue was released in
November, '92. We were investigating the real Oslo hoax "peace" from the
get go. How did we get our sources? Do the names Shishi, Monitin,
Vreyma, Haolam Hazeh, Hadashot or Davar mean anything anymore? These
were real investigatory newspapers and magazines and we read them all,
isolated the most significant articles and called the journalists.
Post-Oslo, these publications were closed on various pretexts. Israel's
press is no longer free.
Without Haolam Hazeh, we would never
have discovered that Israel kidnapped thousands of, mostly Yemenite,
babies during the 50s. We gave the story its sadistic twist by
disproving the establishment myth that the babies were adopted by
childless Jewish couples and were better off for it. Our interviews led
us to conclude that most of the babies died in
agony as part of radiation experiments in America.
Without Shishi, we would have never suspected that Shimon Peres offered
the Vatican to take over Jerusalem as its new governors as part of the
secret clauses of Oslo.
Without Chadashot's Arab Affairs
reporter Yehoshua Meiri, we would never have known that the elections
that brought in Rabin and Labor were rigged with the Labor Party cutting
a deal with Arafat to order Israeli Arabs to vote for Labor or its
left-wing ally Meretz. In return, the new government would reward Arafat
with a state of his own. The number of Arab Knesset members dropped
from 17 to 4. The number of seats for Labor and Meretz rose
proportionally.
I admit, I had a personal beef with the
government over Oslo. Ten years before, my brigade fought in Lebanon to
rid the place of the PLO. Three of my brigade died, including my friend
Tzvi Wolfe. The PLO were removed from Lebanon, and terror was now under
control. WHY would any Jew reverse the sacrifices and bring the
terrorists back? The answer was provided by Joel's and my friend, Rabbi
Marvin Antelman. He provided me with his book, To Eliminate The Opiate
whose thesis is the founding fathers of Israel believe in the
anti-Jewish teachings of Shabtai Tzvi and Jacob Frank. Marvin called me
weekly for years and we exchanged perspectives. And it took years for me
to understand, that no matter how unbelievable it sounds, Marvin's
answer was the only one that could make sense.
Inside Israel had
its last hurrah in March, '97 when The National Review published a long
piece by Joel and me called The Peres Gambit. Then came the internet and
monthly newsletters like ours saw their usefulness disappear.
Just twenty years ago I sat in shul in a proud Israel, confident its
army would never let it down. The PLO were as good as dead and bankrupt
and we were kings in our castle. The new post-Oslo generation bears no
resemblance to the Israelis of my time. They think they did something wrong, while they are surrounded by ugly, grey walls to keep their Oslo partners from murdering them.
Happy twentieth anniversary, Israel!
