RAMALLAH ? United States-run programs that train militias
from Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah
organization have been utilized to kill Jews and were
instrumental in the "success" of the Palestinian intifada that
began in 2000, a senior Fatah militant trained by the U.S. told
WND.
"I do not think that the operations of the Palestinian resistance
would have been so successful and would have killed more than
1,000 Israelis since 2000 and defeated the Israelis in Gaza
without these [American] trainings," said Abu Yousuf, a senior
officer of Abbas' Force 17 Presidential Guard unit in Ramallah.
The U.S. has long run training programs at a base in the West
Bank city of Jericho for members of Force 17, which serves as de
facto police units in the West Bank, and for the Palestinian
Preventative Security Services, another major Fatah security
force.
The training program, which includes courses in the use of
weapons, is paid for by $86.5 million in U.S. tax dollars granted
to the PA by Congress in April.
Many members of Force 17 and the Preventative Security Services
also openly serve in the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, Fatah's
declared "military wing," which took credit along with the
Islamic Jihad terror group for every suicide bombing in Israel in
2005 and 2006. Statistically, the Brigades is responsible for
more terrorism from the West Bank than any other Palestinian
organization.
Yousuf received U.S. training in Jericho in 1999 as a member of
the Preventative Security Services. He is a chief of the Al Aqsa
Martyrs Brigades in Ramallah, where he is accused of
participating in anti-Israel terrorism, including recent
shootings, attacks against Israeli forces operating in the city
and a shooting attack in northern Samaria in December 2000 that
killed Benyamin Kahane, leader of the ultranationalist Kahane
Chai organization.
After the Kahane murder, Yousuf was extended refuge by Yasser
Arafat to live in the late PLO leader's Ramallah compound, widely
known as the Muqata. Yousuf still lives in the compound.
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert last month granted Yousuf amnesty
along with 178 other Brigades leaders reportedly as a gesture to
Abbas.
Speaking during a sit-down exclusive interview for the upcoming
book "Schmoozing with Terrorists,"
<http://www.wnd.com/redir/r.asp?http://www.amazon.com/Schmoozing-\
Terrorists-Interviews-Terrorist-Bombers/dp/0979045126/ref=pd_bbs_\
sr_1/102-1550720-4245719?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1187707793&sr=8-1>
Yousuf said his American training sessions were instrumental in
killing Jews:
"All the methods and techniques that we studied in these
trainings, we applied them against the Israelis," he said.
"We sniped at Israeli settlers and soldiers. We broke into
settlements and Israeli army bases and posts. We collected
information on the movements of soldiers and settlers. We
collected information about the best timing to infiltrate our
bombers inside Israel. We used weapons and we produced
explosives, and of course the trainings we received from the
Americans and the Europeans were a great help to the resistance."
Yousuf describing his U.S.-provided training:
"I myself received American trainings in Jericho. Together with
my Preventative comrades, I received trainings in intelligence
methods and military trainings. In the intelligence part, we
learned collection of information regarding suspected persons,
how to follow suspected guys, how to infiltrate organizations and
penetrate cells of groups that we were working on and how to
prevent attacks and to steal in places.
"On the military level, we received trainings on the use of
weapons, all kind of weapons and explosives. We received sniping
trainings, work of special units especially as part of what they
call the fight against terror. We learned how to put siege, how
to break into places where our enemies closed themselves in, how
to oppress protest movements, demonstrations and other activities
of opposition.
"We also learned to discover agents that Israel tried to plant in
our cells," he said.
Yousuf stressed he "isn't talking about U.S. training in order to
irritate the Americans or the Israelis and not in order to create
provocations. I'm just telling you the truth. We applied against
Israel all that we learned from the Americans."

PM Ehud Olmert has praised the positive figures for economic growth. The
Israeli economy is in constant growth, with the GNP standing at 6.6%.
23:17 President Bush said on Wednesday that the early withdrawal of American
troops from Iraq would lead to chaos in the country. According to him the
situation would resemble Vietnam after the departure of the Americans. (Guysen.International.News)
12:50 According to the Palestinian press agency Maan, the Israeli navy assisted
by combat helicopters has destroyed 7 Palestinian boats off the coast of Rafah,
in the south of the Gaza Strip, and proceeded to a vast swoop. Several
Palestinians have already been arrested. (Guysen.International.News)
11:27 Twelve million Nazi archive documents have been transferred to Yad Vashem.
These archives were held until now by the Red Cross in Bad Arolsen, in Germany.
They will allow new information on the millions of Jews exterminated during the
Shoah. This is the first delivery and another one is expected soon in Israel. (Guysen.International.News)
10:11 If a war were to break out between Israel and Syria, the IDF would
conquer Damascus in a few hours, according to a new report by the CSIS, the
American Center for Strategic and International Research. The supremacy of the
Israeli airforce over that of the Arabs should suffice to neutralize in a few
hours the Syrian airforce and DCA systems. This report also considers that it is
unlikely that an armed conflict will break out between the two countries. (Guysen.International.News)
08:27 Kirk Douglas: ''Never without my Torah''. The American actor, producer
and director Kirk Douglas, or Issur Danielovitch Demsky, his real name, will no
longer travel without his Torah scrolls since his helicopter accident in 1991,
when he was the sole survivor. He has since then taken to learning Torah,
feeling that his life was spared for this purpose: to rediscover his Judaism. (Guysen.International.News)
5. The Occult
Origins of Conspiracy Theories
Extract from
"WINSTON
CHURCHILL,
THE JEWS AND ZIONISM"
in "Brit-Am TRUTH" issue no.10
The First World War ended in 1918, the Russian Revolution had taken place in
1917. Russian Counter ("White")-Revolutionaries, under General Denikin..The native Russian and Ukrainian Forces of Denikin viciously attacked Jewish
communities. In the Ukraine, between 1918-1920 more than 60,000 Jews were
massacred with many more raped and injured. Churchill, though an anti-Communist and supporter of
Denikin, attempted to prevent these pogroms but with limited successes.
Anti-Jewish propaganda relied heavily on distribution of "The Protocols of
Zion". Incidentally, Henry Ford in the USA subsidized distribution of "The
Protocols" in America and overseas and had long excerpts from them published in
his own newspaper, "The Dearborn Independent".
(a) The Protocols
"The Protocols of Zion" purported to describe a plot by the Jews
and Freemasons to undermine the traditional foundations of society, crate
anarchy and licentiousness, and then take over the World. The Protocols
originally were taken from works of fiction and political satire in France and
Germany that described secret organizations plotting to corrupt society. Later
they were republished, Jews included amongst the villains, and presented as
fact. When the Protocols were first published in their "World Jewish-Plot"
permutation it was a period of upheavals and revolutions that appeared to fit
the "master plan" outlined by them. "The Times" newspaper in England at first
tended to consider the Protocols as genuine but later published articles by
Philip Graves that exposed them as a forgery. Philip Graves used information
provided by Lucien Wolf in 1921. Modern Conspiracy Theory to some degree is a
development of "The Protocols". The Jesuits along with the Secret Services of
Prussia and Russia helped spread the Protocols and/or similar literature in an
attempt to counter reform movements in Europe.
[Belief in the Protocols has been recently revived by Arabs and Conspiracy
Freaks including Jewish ones such as
Barry Chamish and Marvin Antelman.
Even otherwise God-fearing, intelligent, well-informed, nationalist, patriotic
supporters of Zionism have been taken in by such scallywags. The justification
used by these scoundrels is that there are "bad" Jews and "good" Jews with the
"bad" ones being responsible for the "Conspiracy" plots!]
(b) Nesta Webster
In Britain, Nesta Helen Webster (1876-1960) in 1920 wrote "The Jewish
Peril" based on "The Protocols". ...It should be noted that Nesta Webster was
involved in the occult. There was a school of devil worshippers and Hindu
aficionados popular in intellectual circles. It was headed by Aleister Crowley
(1874-1947) but included Irish Nationalists and leading anti-Semites amonst the
British Upper Classes. Members of this circle became early supporters of the
Nazis in Germany. Quite a few leading anti-Semites all over Europe were involved
with occultic (witchcraft) practices. They were the ones who propagated The
Protocols and Conspiracy Theory. They themselves could do with some examining.

1. Tom Carew: The Muslim Killing Fields
From: eidelberg@foundation1.org
Subject:The Muslim Killing Fields
Responding to those who accuse Israel of "savage and unprecedented brutality" from 1947 onward, researcher Tom Carew of Dublin, Ireland, a member of the Advisory Board of the Foundation for Constitutional Democracy, has written an article which might well be titled:
The Muslim Killing Fields
He points out that if warranted by the facts, the alleged savage and unprecedented brutality of the Israelis, from 1947 onwards "should be recorded and acknowledged." However, these "facts" "should also be set in the context of the entire peaceful Levant region and in the wider and equally peace-loving Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East as a whole."
Here are the findings of Carew's research:
1. The Bosnian War, March 1992 to December 14, 1995, saw 102,622 dead, according to the 2004 research of the International Criminal Tribunal. At least, 63,994 MUSLIM Bosnians were killed, and the Tribunal estimated that about 38,000 were MUSLIM civilians. Srebrenica in July, 1995, saw 8,000 dead, while the 1992 to February 29, 1995 Serb Siege of Sarajevo saw 12,000 dead, and over 50,000 wounded. At the hands of armed Serb Orthodox elements.
2. The Kingdom of Jordan's suppression of the PLO threat in September 1970 saw up to 25,000 MUSLIM Palestinian Arabs dead. At the hands of the Muslim Royal Jordanian Army.
3. In MUSLIM Kosovo, 1998 to 2000 saw about 10,000 killed. By Orthodox Serb forces.
4. In Assad's Syria, in January 1982, up to 20,000 Muslims were massacred by Muslim government forces in suppressing the Muslim Brotherhood in Hama.
5. Egypt's Col. Nasser, hero of the Arab street, gassed some 1,400 MUSLIMS in the 1963-1967 Yemen Civil War, using Phosgene and Mustard aerial bombs. Joining only Hitler and Saddam in gassing their own people. And overall, Yemen saw 100,000 -150,000 MUSLIM dead from 1962 to 1970.
6. In then French-run Algeria, in 1954-1962, some 600,000 MUSLIMS were killed in the FLN war with the French.
7. Another 100,000 MUSLIMS loyal to France were also massacred by Muslim FLN elements.
8. In Algeria again, the Islamic gangs from 1991 to 2002 saw up to 200,000 MUSLIMS killed.
9. Sudan saw 500,000 killed from 1954 to 1972.
10. And another 1.9 million MUSLIMS from 1983.
11. Darfur has seen at least 200,000 dead.
12. The Iran-Iraq War saw at least 450,000 MUSLIM dead on EACH side, or 900,000 minimum, with estimates of up to 1.62 million overall.
13. Afghanistan saw 1 to 1.5 million MUSLIMS dead from Dec 24, 1979 to Feb 2, 1989.
14. The Taliban produced in excess of another 1 million dead in Afghanistan.
15. The Russian-ruled territory of Chechnya saw up to 100,000 MUSLIM dead from 1999.
16. In Iraq, under Saddam, 200,000 to 300,000 MUSLIM Kurds perished.
17. The 1991-1992 Shia Rising against Saddam in the South saw up to 200,000 MUSLIMS killed.
18. The purges carried out by Saddam in Iraq killed up to 1 million MUSLIMS.
19. And MUSLIM Indonesia massacred up to 200,000 in East Timor from 1975 to 1999.
20. Indonesia also saw 400,000 MUSLIMS killed in 1965-1966.
21. Bangladesh saw up to 2 million MUSLIMS killed in 1971.
22. Somalia saw up to 550,000 MUSLIMS dead from 1977.
23. Tajikistan saw 50,000 MUSLIMS killed from 1992 to 1996.
24. Iran has seen 10,000 MUSLIM Kurds killed.
25. Turkey has seen at least 20,000 MUSLIM KURDS killed.
26. Zanzibar in 1964 saw up to 17,000 MUSLIMS killed.
27. The Crusades overall killed only 1.5 million from 1096 to 1270, including some 70,000 MUSLIMS in Jerusalem in 1099, and 100,000 MUSLIMS in Antioch in 1098. Maybe 900,000 MUSLIMS perished overall.
28. The MUSLIM Turks killed 1.5 million Armenians in their 1915 to 1917 genocide.
29. Lebanon's 1975 to 1990 Civil War saw 130,000 dead.
30. In contrast, the "savage, racist, brutal, in-discriminate,
dis-proportionate, aggressive" Israelis killed up to 70,650 MUSLIMS from 1947
to the present (during which time these same Israelis lost 1% of their
population in 1947-1949 War of Independence and over 20,000 dead defending
their right to exist). Here is the data of Muslims killed by Israelis during
this 60-year period:
1947-1949 War of Independence 5 to 15,000
1956 Suez War 1,650
1967 June Six Day War 21,000
1973 Yom Kippur Oct 8,500
1982 First Lebanon War 18,000
1987 onwards - First Intifada 1,800
2000 Second Intifada 3,700
2006 Hezb-ALLAH War from Lebanon 1,000
MAXIMUM possible total killed by Israelis from 1947: 70, 650
Although all of the above data involve rough estimates or ranges of dead, a most significant fact emerges from this survey: For a very long time it has been clearly and, extremely dangerous to be either a Muslim in the whole region, or to be at the tender mercy of armed Muslims, especially if you are yourself a Muslim. Indeed:
The safest place for a Muslim is to be facing Israeli guns!

Both events seem to have surprised authorities in Washington. These
