British secret file confirms Israeli nukes

Israel's Dimona nuclear plant in the Negev Desert

A newly released British document confirms that Israel has possessed nuclear weapons for more than three decades.

Secret files released by Britain's National Archives said on Wednesday that British officials feared Tel Aviv would use its nuclear weapons in case of another war with Arab countries in the region.

Israel, which is considered as the sole possessor of nuclear weapons in the Middle East, has never confirmed or denied that it has produced nuclear warheads. It has refused to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and also adamantly rejected international inspection of its nuclear facilities.

Former US President Jimmy Carter acknowledged for the first time in May 2008 that Tel Aviv has 150 nuclear warheads in its arsenals.

In 1986, Israeli nuclear technician, Mordechai Vanunu, leaked the news that Israel had between 100 and 200 nuclear weapons.

Vanunu was a former worker at the country's Dimona nuclear reactor in the Negev desert.

In May 2010, the UK's Guardian newspaper said secret South African documents reveal that in 1975, Israel offered to sell nuclear warheads to the then-apartheid regime in South Africa.

According to documents obtained by the newspaper, a secret meeting between the then-Israeli defense minister, Shimon Peres, and his South African counterpart, P.W. Botha, ended with an offer for the sale of warheads “in three sizes.”

The Guardian claimed that those “sizes” referred to conventional, chemical and nuclear weapons.

Israel has initiated several wars in the region in its 60-year-old history of occupation of Palestinian territories in the West Bank and East al-Quds (Jerusalem).

Wikileaks Made Deal With Israel Over Cable Leaks

by LIKIWEAKS (INDYMEDIA)

Wikileaks Made Deal With Israel Over Cable Leaks

A number of commentators, particularly in Turkey and Russia, have been wondering why the hundreds of thousands of American classified documents leaked by the website last month did not contain anything that may embarrass the Israeli government, like just about every other state referred to in the documents.

The answer appears to be a secret deal struck between the WikiLeaks "heart and soul", as Assange humbly described himself once [1], with Israeli officials, which ensured that all such documents were 'removed' before the rest were made public.


YouTube - Veterans Today -

According to an Arabic investigative journalism website [2], Assange had received money from semi-official Israeli sources and promised them, in a "secret, video-recorded agreement," not to publish any document that may harm Israeli security or diplomatic interests.

The sources of the Al-Haqiqa report are said to be former WikiLeaks volunteers who have left the organisation in the last few months over Assange’s "autocratic leadership" and "lack of transparency."

In a recent interview with the German daily Die Tageszeitung, former WikiLeaks spokesperson Daniel Domscheit-Berg said he and other WikiLeaks dissidents are planning to launch their own whistleblowers' platform to fulfil WikiLeaks’s original aim of "limitless file sharing." [3]

Mr Domscheit-Berg, who is about to publish a book about his days 'Inside WikiLeaks', accuses Assange of acting as a 'king" against the will of others in the organisation by "making deals" with media organisations that are meant to create an explosive effect, which others in WikiLeaks either know little or nothing about. [4]

Furthermore, Assange’s eagerness for headline-grabbing scoops meant that WikiLeaks had not been able to ‘restructure’ itself to cope with this surge of interest, insiders add. This has meant that smaller leaks, which might be of interest to people at a local level, are now being overlooked for the sake of big stories. [5]

According to the Al-Haqiqa sources, Assange met with Israeli officials in Geneva earlier this year and struck the secret deal. The Israel government, it seems, had somehow found out or expected that the documents to be leaked contained a large number of documents about the Israeli attacks on Lebanon and Gaza in 2006 and 2008-9 respectively. These documents, which are said to have originated mainly from the Israeli embassies in Tel Aviv and Beirut, where removed and possibly destroyed by Assange, who is the only person who knows the password that can open these documents, the sources added.

Indeed, the published documents seem to have a ‘gap’ stretching over the period of July – September 2006, during which the 33-day Lebanon war took place. Is it possible that US diplomats and officials did not have any comments or information to exchange about this crucial event but spent their time ‘gossiping’ about every other ‘trivial’ Middle-Eastern matter?

Following the leak (and even before), Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a press conference that Israel had “worked in advance” to limit any damage from leaks, adding that “no classified Israeli material was exposed by WikiLeaks.” [6] In an interview with the Time magazine around the same time, Assange praised Netanyahu as a hero of transparency and openness! [7]

According to another report [8], a left-leaning Lebanese newspaper had met with Assange twice and tried to negotiate a deal with him, offering “a big amount of money”, in order to get hold of documents concerning the 2006 war, particularly the minutes of a meeting held at the American embassy in Beirut on 24th July 2006, which is widely considered as a ‘war council’ meeting between American, Israeli and Lebanese parties that played a role in the war again Hizbullah and its allies. The documents the Al-Akhbar editors received, however, all date to 2008 onwards and do not contain “anything of value,” the sources confirm. This only goes to support the Israel deal allegations.

Finally, it might be worth pointing out that Assange might have done what he is alleged to have done in order protect himself and ensure that the leaked documents are published so as to expose the American hypocrisy, which he is said to be obsessed with “at the expense of more fundamental aims.”

Haaretz – WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange on Wednesday defended his disclosure of classified U.S. documents by singling out Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as an example of a world leader who believes the publications will aid global diplomacy.

“We can see the Israeli Prime Minister [Benjamin] Netanyahu coming out with a very interesting statement that leaders should speak in public like they do in private whenever they can,” Assange told Time Magazine in an interview on Wednesday, days after his online whistleblower published thousands of secret diplomatic cables.

“He (Netanyahu) believes that the result of this publication, which makes the sentiments of many privately held beliefs public, are promising a pretty good [indecipherable] will lead to some kind of increase in the peace process in the Middle East and particularly in relation to Iran,” Assange said.

“I just noticed today Iran has agreed to nuclear talks. Maybe that’s coincidence or maybe it’s coming out of this process, but it’s certainly not being canceled by this process,” he added.

Assange Admits He's WikiLeaks Shill for Israel

by GORDON DUFF (VETERANSTODAY.COM)

By "media sensitivities" we are simply saying that Israel controls Wikileaks and uses it to bash their enemies, the United States and their neighbors, some we now learn have been their friends all along.
Wikileaks had promised the press thousands of documents about a "UFO War over the Southern Ocean." I couldn't wait for this one. Instead, seemingly clever Julian Assange in his most apologetic manner is now telling us that he has sinned.
Where did the mysterious UFO story go? Who told you to withhold it? Are we sitting on that story because President Obama is now drumbeating for war with Iran full time?

Julian, if we wanted to read the New York Times, we would go out and get one. Now you are telling us that the Times, a worthless rag of a newspaper, has been running Wikileaks all along? Do you know what "fraud" means?

If we wanted to hear what Israel wanted us to hear, we simply would have turned on our televisions. We have had nothing else for decades. Now you admit you have been a part of it. Are we supposed to be surprised?

You weren't that hard to figure out. Every day, a new photograph in hundreds of newspapers, always posed, always thoughtful. You spend 9 days waiting for bail and we find out that you have been working for the press, working for Israel, working for the most powerful and devious forces known to mankind all along? You needed 240,000 pounds for bail? This wouldn't be a one month retainer for your lawyer or publicists. The people you work for use money like that for lighting cigars.

We know it was all an act, just like this is part of that act, more drama brought on because some of us caught you early on and have "outed" you. What I find amazing is your chutzpah. You admit to using us all, defrauding us, being a disinformation agent.

Now you are taking a second shot at deceiving us all. What we expect is the same press that you are now accusing, now supposedly "distancing" yourself from will be the lead on this new story.

What we are going to get is the New York Times, the Guardian, der Spiegel, the same triumvirate of baloney, your partners in crime, spreading the same old Wikileaks chickenfeed mixed in with Israeli disinformation and leaks designed to hurt the US government and discredit your Islamic neighbors.

Yes, Julian. They are your Islamic neighbors. If you don't have Israeli citizenship yet, you soon will. They need another comedian and that seems to be your only real talent. I do so love your choice of words.

What you call "sensitivities,"

a word that undoubtedly came from a committee of advisors juggling emails between New York and Tel Aviv is simply lying and cheating to the rest of us. You lied to us all, not once but continually and now you think we are going to take more of your lies simply because they are delivered with a half hearted apology?

Chutzpah

Wikileaks Promotes Greater State of Israel

by JIM KIRWAN (RENSE.COM)

When you think about which countries the leaks deal most severely with, aside from USI (and of course the Zionistas are not even mentioned in the latest releases), the other nations that come in for some heavy lying are Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Syria and Iran.

Iraq was touched on earlier but is considered already destroyed as a nation; and hence not important enough to bother with in the latest broadside. Pakistan is the lone orphan from the rest of these counties, but she too is a nuclear-armed Muslim-nation, and still controls a number of pipelines as well.

Look at the map above and you can clearly see that the plan to finish creating The Greater State of Israel, has been behind everything that Wikileaks is currently trying to accomplish, with Assange's latest document dump.

Since USI & the Zionistas have been unable to get the world to swallow their lies about 911, weapons of mass destruction, and a whole host of other crap having to do with their efforts to bolster their versions of events since the New Millennium began"they have decided to "leak what they want to sell the global public, through a supposedly honest investigative outlet called Wikileaks.

Some say that USI is "leaking power now. But power is more than having a military super-power; one must have an economy and money to stay ahead of the rest of the world. USI does not have the clout, the military muscle, the economy, or the money to succeed in this latest venture. But Israel has ordered the hit on Iran, and is trying to blackmail USI into doing exactly what they want - it's all there on the map.

Iran must be hit because they already have nuclear weapons (they bought them instead of making them), to defend itself. And Israel simply cannot tolerate a nuclear neighbor that could indeed match them weapon for weapon hence USI must end the threat to our evil little brother-state"or else!

The supposedly secret-cables (low-level gossip mostly) speak of outrageously false information by almost anyone,s standards who has even an ounce of journalistic honesty somewhere in their being.

A great many people have taken the bait: But a great many more have not! This is becoming a fascinating confrontation, but on its outcome hinges what is left of resistance, in the wider world.

The flip side of Victory is Defeat. Neither has a face. Victory has a million fathers, Defeat is always an orphan.

Apparently the Zionistas and their CIA cohorts can't seem to tell the difference between these age old symbols - which is why in the end they will be defeated. Just like we lost in Vietnam, we will lose in the Middle-East because we have failed to even remotely grasp the enormity of what is being sought there.

What is astounding is the utter inability of people to connect the dots. Even in WWII no country, publicly at least, sought the desecration and annexation of so many other nations - well - at least not before they began their military operations, to crush and capture those nations that stood in their way, to prevent total victory.,

By the way, this Greater State of Israel, was planned long before Dirty-Harry Truman got blackmailed into proposing this cynical deal with the devil that became the only internationally recognized state to have been created by United Nations fiat.

(The UN along with the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, are all controlled agents for the New World Disorder).

So it's easy to see why the Zionistas have failed to abide by any UN Resolutions"except the one that created them.

Maybe the global public will awaken from their sleep, of nearly a hundred years, in time to end this nightmare"maybe not. But if people will look carefully beyond the volume of the leaks, to the actual facts supposedly being given to the world for the first time, by a professional whistle-blowing agency: They just might see that in light of the needs of the Greater State of Israel; there are very many supposed facts that simply don,t add up - if the leaked documents are to be believed!

Al Aqsa weeping for another Ayubi…

The forces of good and evil and truth and falsehood which are fighting for Palestine is nothing new but rather the history of this sacred land is full of strife where the holy sites of 3 heavenly religions are found. A permanent rivalry and conflict has been continuing between its rightful owners and false claimants.

The forces of self-proclaimed false deities are bent on harming it. These forces have taken Israel as their lord and are determined to set flames to one of Islam’s holiest sites, Al Aqsa mosque. Their objective is nothing more than to eradicate all signs of Islam and Muslims from their rightful land.

The conqueror, the warrior, Salahuddin Ayubi (R.H) said to his soldiers while describing this holy land: “My dear colleagues, remember Rabbi-ul-Awwal of the year 16th Hijri when Amr bin Aas (R.A) and his fellow soldiers liberated Jerusalem from the disbelievers. The Khalifa, Umar bin Khattab (R.A) visited this holy place at that time. Bilal (R.A) also accompanied him. People were longing to hear the voice Bilal (R.A) who had remained silent since the passing away of Muhammad S.A.W. He had left the Azan (calling of prayer) but upon entering Masjad Aqsa, the Khalifa, Umar (R.A) told him: Bilal (R.A), Masjid Aqsa and the walls of Bait-al-Maqdas have not heard the voice of Azan for a very long time! Will you not give the first Azan after its freedom? So Bilal (R.A) gave the Azan for the first time after the passing away of Muhammad SAW. When he said “I bear witness that Muhammad is his Messenger”, the whole mosque was shaken by wailing of those present.

Aqsa in our time is also longing for Azan. 92 years, this mosque and its walls have been waiting for a muezzin. Remember, the Azan of Aqsa is heard all over the world. Crusaders are trying to slaughter this call so always keep this great cause in front of you. This is not going to be an ordinary fight, we are going to be writing that part of history with blood which Amr bin Aas and his colleagues had written but those who came after them marred it with black ink.

If you want to meet your lord with beaming foreheads and if you want the coming generations to put flowers on your graves then you have to put that pulpit inside Aqsa mosque which was built for this purpose 20 years ago by Nooruddin Zinki (R.H).” Bait al Maqdas still exists as a perfect monument. It is a place where the chamber of Dawood A.S. and the throne of Sulaiman A.S. were.

It also has the great mosque mentioned in the Quran from where Imam ul Anbiyah SAW lead all the Prophets in prayer on the night of Mi’raj (Ascension). This is Masjid al Aqsa. Yes! This is the same Masjid al Aqsa usurped by the Jews. Whose doors are closed shut for Muslims. Its sanctities are being violated. It is being desecrated. It is a place where Muslims are greeted with bullets. Bait al Maqdas is now a place where the blood of Muslims has been spilt by the hands of filthy Jews.

Kalid bin Walid R.A. was one of the first persons to wage Jihad against Jews to take back its control. This fight is still ongoing today and it will continue until the world is free from injustice and oppression. The patience, sacrifices and blood of Palestine will definitely bring colors until it is freed from the evil hands of Jews and until they are expelled from its villages. Masjid al Aqsa’s walls are once again weeping for another Ayubi …

Maldives’ renewed ties with Israel could prompt Al-Qaeda attacks, warns parliamentarian

By Poorna Rodrigo

Male, 01 October, (Asiantribune.com):

The Maldives’ landmark decision to renew ties with Israel has put the country on the path of danger, prompting Al-Qaeda attacks on the “thinly guarded” island nation, a key parliamentarian warned.

‘I am most worried about a clear danger it poses from religious extremist outfits like the Al-Qaeda or its satellite versions operating on the Indian subcontinent,” independent parliamentarian, legal expert and former Information Minister Mohamed Nasheed has written in his blog post.

The Maldives is a hundred percent Muslim nation that had cut off relations with Israel due to their alleged atrocities towards the Palestinians.

But signaling a major shift in its foreign policy, President Mohamed Nasheed announced a decision to renew ties with Israel, making a crucial speech from the UN podium of the General Assembly.

And at home, the announcement ran into protest, with the religious Adhaalath party who backed Nasheed’s presidency last November and now part of his coalition government, protesting the decision.

Ex- Minister of Gayoom’s administration and the South Kulhudhufushi member to parliament who is incidentally the name sake of President Mohamed Nasheed too said the decision is “not free from risks.”

He called the move “a strategic turning point” for the Maldives.

“There is the political backlash that the President’s administration would suffer at home given the grassroots unfailing regard for the Palestinian people and their stubborn anger towards the Israelis,” warned Parliamentarian Nasheed who contested the May general election on an independent ticket.

The Maldives largely known as a tourist hotspot saw its first ever bomb blast in September 2007. The explosion in the Capital Male’ by religious extremists groups, injured12 tourists.

Nasheed pointed out that the sudden renewal of ties with Israel at a time when there is a right wing leader in power makes it all the more dangerous to the Maldives.

It will “most certainly invite attention of some dangerous elements spread across the globe hell bent on disrupting, destroying and dismantling the Jewish state or their allies,” Naheed has said.

He argues: “That makes the Maldives – a string of low lying, sparsely populated and thinly guarded islands – already vulnerable to foreign aggression – more susceptible to such threats of extremist hostilities.”

Security apart, Nasheed said the decision could have an economic fallout too.

“Maldives also risks the middle-eastern Arab lobby writing off future investment in or assistance to the Maldives,” he wrote.

Nasheed argued that renewing ties with Israel “does not serve our national interest.”

He also elaborately detailed the possible reasons to the government decision.

“One argument is simply the presence and power of the strong Jewish lobby.’ He said the government may “tap into the huge Jewish lobby that has access to large amounts of funds or funding opportunities across the globe.”

With a battered economy the move “could perhaps open up opportunities from sources other than the more traditional institutions like the IMF, World Bank, or the Asian Development Bank.”

He added: “The Jewish lobby could also prove to be an effective catalyst for American and European financial institutions to look at the Maldives with a deeper interest than they may have at present.”

Nasheed then called it a “compelling coincidence” that US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton too has called on Arab nations to renew their ties with Israel, just few days ago.

However Ibrahim Hussain Zaki, the Special Envoy of the President has strongly defended the government’s renewed ties with Israel.

Zaki called it a foreign policy decision by the President taking into account the realities of current “geopolitics and present day international relations.”

“We need not be more Arab than Arabs themselves and that Arab nations too have diplomatic relations with Israel,” Zaki was quoted as saying in media reports.

On Monday, President Nasheed returned home from New York to a warm welcome after a much hailed speech on climate change.

And he also faced a barrage of questions from reporters on the renewed Maldives-Israel ties.

“Severing relations with an individual was one the most extreme acts. Severing relations with a state is an even more extreme measure,” President’s office said today quoting Nasheed’s response to reporters at a news conference held in the Hulhule’ International airport, on his return.

He even promised to use its relationship with Israel “towards the establishment of a Palestinian homeland.”

The President took pains to defend the decision saying it did not mean the Maldives condoned Israel’s actions.

“Israel has to respect all UN Security Council resolutions. We will not advocate on behalf of Israel,” the President was quoted as saying in Minivan News.

President Nasheed referred to many articles he wrote during student days condemning Israeli aggression against the Palestine people.

“Palestine recognises Israel. Why should we not?” he said. “Is there any reason for us not to recognise Israel?” the President was quoted as saying in the same article.

He urged Maldivians to “trust him on this decision and that it would be in the best interests of the country,” it added.

The Zionist Plan for the Middle East

The Israel of Theodore Herzl (1904)

and of Rabbi Fischmann (1947)

In his Complete Diaries, Vol. II. p. 711, Theodore Herzl, the founder of Zionism, says that the area of the Jewish State stretches: "From the Brook of Egypt to the Euphrates."

Rabbi Fischmann, member of the Jewish Agency for Palestine, declared in his testimony to the U.N. Special Committee of Enquiry on 9 July 1947: "The Promised Land extends from the River of Egypt up to the Euphrates, it includes parts of Syria and Lebanon."
