</a></font><font size=3><b>If it wasn’t for the “war on terror” America
and Israel wouldn’t be enjoying such military fun and games and reaping
such fat rewards. Whole new industries are flourishing thanks to the
considerable effort they've devoted to sowing the seeds of
terror.<br><br>
</b>The Institute of Terrorism Research and Response (ITRR), for example,
is an American-Israeli corporation “created to help organizations succeed
and prosper in a world threatened by terrorism.”<br><br>
Its partners include The Israel Export and International Cooperation
Institute – “your gateway to business in Israel”. Their global
intelligence division even maintains a presence in London where, they
claim, “our intelligence-gathering and analysis, research, training, and
consulting services reduce your vulnerability to global and regional
forms of terrorist threats and mass-casualty events.” It’s just a
coincidence, of course, that Britain’s most important security bodies –
the Intelligence & Security Committee, Foreign Affairs Committee and
Defence Committee – are all headed by senior Israel flag-wavers with
access to highly classified material.<br><br>
ITRR recently staged a Mass Casualty & Terrorism Workshop in
Jerusalem attended by students from Philadelphia University. Topics
included mass casualty management, security and counter-terrorism,
forensic medicine as it relates to terrorism and visits to suicide bomber
sites. “These site visits include actual video footage of the events… One
student was amazed with the resiliency of the Israeli people and how
quickly they are able to return a site ‘back to normal’.”<br><br>
Just across the border in Gaza is the mother of all mass-casualty sites
far more serious than anything Israel has had to cope with, although it
caused it. A visit there would have opened students’ eyes to how the
Palestinians are never given the chance to return to ‘normal’ after
Israel’s endless terror onslaughts, robbed as they are of medical
essentials and reconstruction materials.<br><br>
I bet ITRR’s workshop didn’t cover that.<br><br>
</font><font size=4><b>“First used by Zionists”<br><br>
</b></font><font size=3>The other day I was sent a list of Zionist
‘firsts’ pulled together in a handy aide-memoire. Let’s call them claims
for the timebeing. I’ve seen evidence for some, but others are new to me.
A friend who watches things closely says the listing has been posted in
forums repeatedly, with requests for any corrections.<br><br>
Let’s ask again. Can anyone refute these claims on
delphiforums…?<br><br>

Here’s the roll-call on who introduced terrorism (along with biological,
chemical and nuclear weapons) to the Middle East:<br><br>
<ul>
<li>Bombs in Cafés: first used by Zionists in Palestine on March 17th,
1937 in Jaffa. (actually grenades).</b>
<li><b>Bombs on Buses: first used by Zionists in Palestine Aug. 20th-Sep.
26, 1937</b>
<li><b>Drive-by shootings with automatic weapons: IZL and LHI in 1937-38
and 1947-48 (Morris, Righteous Victims, p681.)</b>
<li><b>Bombs in Market Places: first used by Zionists on July 6th, 1938
in Haifa. (Delayed-action, electrically detonated)</b>
<li><b>Bombing of a passenger Ship: first used by the Zionists in Haifa
on 25 November 1940, killing over 200 of their own fellows.</b>
<li><b>Bombing of Hotels: first used by Zionists on July 22nd, 1946 in
Jerusalem (Menachem Begin went on to become Prime Minister of
Israel).</b>
<li><b>Suitcase bombing: first used by Zionists on October 1st, 1946
against British Embassy in Rome.</b>
<li><b>Mining of Ambulances: First used by Zionists on October 31st, 1946
in Petah Tikvah</b>
<li><b>Car-bomb: first used by Zionists against the British near Jaffa 5
December 1946.</b>
<li><b>Letter Bombs: first used by Zionists in June 1947 against members
of the British government, 20 of them.</b>
<li><b>Parcel Bomb: first used by Zionists against the British in London
3 September 1947.</b>
<li><b>Reprisal murder of hostages: first used by Zionists against the
British in Netanya area on 29 July 1947.</b>
<li><b>Truck-bombs: first used by Zionists 4th Jan 1948 in the centre of
Jaffa, killing 26.</b>
<li><b>Aircraft hijacking: world-first by Israeli jets Dec 1954 on a
Syrian civilian airliner (random seizure of hostages to recover 5 spies).
14 years before any Palestinian.</b>
</ul><br>
<b>The only form of violent terrorism not introduced into Palestine by
the Zionists was suicide bombing, a tactic used almost entirely by people
fighting occupation of their “homeland” – think 1000s of Japanese in
1945, 100s of Tamils and 38 Lebanese in the 80s – most of the latter
being motivated by socialism/communism, not Islam – see

http://amconmag.com/article/2005/jul/18/00017/</a> <br><br>
<ul>
<li>Biological Warfare – pathogens used by Zionists in 1948, prior to the
seizure of Acre, putting typhus into the water supply.</b>
<li><b>Chemical Warfare – nerve gas very likely used by Zionists in
Feb/March 2001 in at least 8 attacks in Khan Younis and Gharbi refugee
camps (Gaza) and the town of Al-Bireh (West Bank).
<li>Nuclear threats – made by Zionists e.g. 2003: “We have the capability
to take the world down with us. And I can assure you that that will
happen, before Israel goes under.” – Remarks of Martin Van Creveld, a
professor of military history at Israel’s Hebrew University, 1st Feb
2003.</b>
</ul><br>
<b>And, if you think only Muslims need worry, then see
<a href="http://www.masada2000.org/sharepain.html">
http://www.masada2000.org/sharepain.html</a> – “Israel Has Nuclear
Weapons and MUST Use Them and All Those Arming the Arabs Must Share the
Pain!”. Comes with cute music.<br><br>
</b>To these we could add “sofa slaughter” with armed drones. The
Israelis use this armchair technique extensively in Gaza, unleashing
death and destruction on civilians by remote control at no personal risk
to themselves. There are interesting variations too. For example, during
the 40-day siege of the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem in 2002 the
Israeli Occupation Force set up cranes on which were mounted robotic
machine guns under video control. According to eye-witnesses eight
defenders, including the bell-ringer, were murdered, some by armchair
button-pushers and some by regular snipers.<br><br>
Right now we’re witnessing a cyber-terror attack against Iran with an
ultra-sophisticated virus that disables thousands of industrial computers
including those controlling Iran’s nuclear programme. This is an
extremely sinister development with frightening global implications. The
presumption is that it’s Zionist inspired and implemented by Israeli
stooges and sympathisers since no-one else hates and fears the Iranians
this much, but the truth may never be known.<br><br>
<b>Banned horror weapons spread terror<br><br>
</b>There’s also the use, suspected or real, of prohibited weapons. In
July 2006 doctors in Lebanon and Gaza were saying: “We never saw before
wounds and corpses like those that arrive in the ward…” The majority of
victims were women, children and elders caught in Israeli attacks in the
street, in the market place and at home.<br><br>
What they saw led doctors to believe that a new generation of weapons was
being used. Common to all victims was the lack of visible wounds, but
they had serious internal edema and hemorrhage with loss of blood from
all orifices. All the bodies had a covering of dark powder making them
look black, but they were not burnt. Clothes and hair were not damaged or
burnt.<br><br>
Electron microscope scans showed the presence of phosphorous, iron and
magnesium at below normally detectable levels. Elements that are used as
additives to boost the blast of thermobaric (fuel-air energy) bombs and
grenades were found on skin samples, but none of these could be seen by
instruments normally used in hospitals and emergency wards.<br><br>
Thermobaric weapons leave no fragments on or in the victims’ bodies
making it all the more difficult to provide proper care for the injured.
“This fact already puts them outside established conventions of war,
regardless of whether they are used against military or civilians,” say
the doctors.<br><br>
The effect of a thermobaric shell or grenade, according to the
<i>GlobalSecurity</i> website, is devastating. “Those near the ignition
point are obliterated. Those at the fringe are likely to suffer many
internal, and thus invisible injuries, including burst eardrums and
crushed inner ear organs, severe concussions, ruptured lungs and internal
organs, and possibly blindness. The destruction, death, and injury are
caused by the blast wave.”<br><br>
Another report, published by <i>Defense Technology</i>, says: “Each
tissue type… is compressed, stretched, sheared or disintegrated by
overload according to its material properties. Internal organs that
contain air (sinuses, ears, lungs and intestines) are particularly
vulnerable to blast.”<br><br>
The United States uses 40mm thermobaric grenades developed for the war
against “terror” in Afghanistan. These little beauties produce a
thermobaric overpressure blast and “all enemy personnel within the
effective radius will suffer lethal effects as opposed to the
conventional fragmentation round.”<br><br>
The grenades are fired from a specially developed weapon. “You can put
six rounds on target in under three seconds,” one Marine Corps corporal
said. “I thought this thing was sick.”<br><br>
America is reported to have lost nuclear bombs, so it shouldn’t be too
difficult for them to mislay shipments of thermobaric grenades, which in
the wrong hands would wreak havoc in the metro or London’s
Underground.<br><br>
<b>Hoist by their own petard<br><br>
</b>A perfectly good form of words is used to brand, outlaw and crush any
organization, individual or country the US doesn’t like.<br><br>
Under Executive Order 13224 (“Blocking Property and prohibiting
Transactions with Persons who commit, threaten to commit, or support
Terrorism”), Section 3, the term “terrorism” means an activity that
<br><br>
(i) involves a violent act or an act dangerous to human life, property,
or infrastructure; and (ii) appears to be intended<br><br>
(a) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population;<br><br>
(b) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion;
or<br><br>
(c) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction,
assassination, kidnapping, or hostage-taking.”<br><br>
The order was signed 23 September 2001 by George W Bush, the irony being
that his definition of terrorism fits the United States and its
bosom-buddy Israel like a glove.<br><br>
Since then, of course, we’ve seen the Zionists commit the foulest act of
state terrorism in recent times. During their Cast Lead onslaught they
butchered at least 350 more children, and Gaza has been under daily
attack ever since. So the “most moral army in the world” must have blown
to bits, shredded, incinerated or smashed with snipers’ bullets at least
1,400 Palestinian youngsters in the last ten years. The numbers left
maimed or crippled don’t bear thinking about.<br><br>
And let’s not forget the assassinations and extra-judicial executions. In
the US there’s a presidential prohibition on assassination except in war
situations, but if they can conjure up an intelligence ‘finding’ that
enables them to label the target a ‘terrorist,’ and claim the murder was
an act of self-defence in a war situation, they’re in the clear.<br><br>
Assassination became official Israeli policy in 1999. Their preferred
method is the air-strike, which is lazy and often messy, as demonstrated
in 2002 when Israeli F-16 warplanes bombed the house of Sheikh Salah
Shehadeh, the military commander of Hamas, in Gaza City killing not just
him but at least 11 other Palestinians including seven children, and
wounding 120 others.<br><br>
According to the Israeli human rights organisation B’Tselem 408
Palestinians have been killed in the course of targeted assassinations
since the second Intifada (uprising) began in 2000. This systematic
extermination is regarded as legal and legitimate by Israel’s
attorney-general.<br><br>
In a sane world you’d expect the American and Israeli administrations to
be hoist by their own petard, branded as “persons who commit, threaten to
commit, or support terrorism”, and punished in the same way they seek to
punish others.<br><br>
